Title: points for league players only
Post by: Karpro on January 25, 2009, 04:14:52 PM
I use sum(scores) for my overall scoring formula.  If I want it to only total the league players is there a way to do that?

Not currently using the Overall Score formula.  You'll need to use either the leagueRank or inLeague variables in the Points for Playing or Tournament Score formulas (whichever you are using) to set the non-league-members' points/score to 0.

I use a neau's formula for my points for playing and I use (points) for my tournament scoring.  How do I do this using the inLeague variable in my tournament scoring formula?

Well, you didn't give your Points for Playing formula, but for the sake of example, assume it is:

n-r+1

Then you would change it to:

if(inLeague, n-r+1, 0)

That way, the "n-r+1" gets evaluated if the player is in the league.  Otherwise, they get 0.

How is "inLeague" determined?  Is this something I can set during buy-in?

Scenario:  I have a year-long league, and only points are awarded to league members, and
there is an additional cost per tournament to be considered for points.

Let's say that John wants to be considered for points for the first half of the year, so
he pays the additional cost.  Later in the year, he decides that he has no chance of making
the final table, and wants to stop paying the extra cost for points consideration.

How do I determine whether or not John is an "inLeague" player or not?

Thanks,
Terry

John is "inLeague" if he is a member of the League set on the Game tab.
