SOLVED - Another Points Issue
« on: September 17, 2007, 10:52:51 PM »
So I've been using TD for two seasons and find myself having an issue with my point formula in my new season.  Here it is:

(((1 - (r / (n + 1))) * 100 + 4) + nh - (tnr*3)

Basically, we have 24 players usually.  The formula above will give 1st 100 points if no rebuys and no hits.  When I test I get:

1st, 100.00
2nd, 96.00
3rd, 92.00
4th, 88.00
5th, 84.00
6th, 80.00
7th, 76.00
8th, 72.00
9th, 68.00
10th, 64.00
11th, 60.00
12th, 56.00
13th, 52.00
14th, 48.00
15th, 44.00
16th, 40.00
17th, 36.00
18th, 32.00
19th, 28.00
20th, 24.00
21st, 20.00
22nd, 16.00
23rd, 12.00
24th, 8.00

Problem is, after our first tournament, the first place player (no rebuys, 4 hits, should have 104 points) has 78.24 points.

2nd (no rebuys, 5 hits) has 75.48 points.

Last place (no rebuys, no hits) has -20.24?!?!


I'm using the most recent TD.  What am I doing wrong?  Can I fix what's already been done for the first tourney?

T.I.A. for any help!

I am thinking it in part has to do with your rebuys.

You have it computed such that you subtract 3 times the "total number of rebuys for the tourney" (tnr) rather than the number of rebuys for that individual (nr).

I'm not sure what is the prblem, but if it's the formula, yes after you get it corrected, you can change the points from previously run games.

I may not like what you have to say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it.

Well, that kinda worked.  Now my first place guy has 111.24 instead of 103.24.  Where are the extra 8 points coming from?  I do have Points for buy-in set to 4 and points for hit set to 1 under the game tab, but changing those to 0 does not affect the stats.

Scratch that.  I forgot to save after changing those values to zero.  That did it.  Thanks!
