Help Me / Formula for Our Chosen Point System
« on: November 22, 2013, 04:05:59 PM »
Hi everyone,
I'm trying to come up with a formula for calculating our points automatically. Here is our system:
* 1st place receives 150 points regardless of the number of participants
* The rest of our points scale down lineraly to zero. So for example, if we had a 10 man tournament, to calculate how much each finish is worth, we take 150 (base points for 1st) / 10 (number of participants) = 15
* We also award 10% bonus points based on how much that person cashed for. So if a player cashes for $20, they would receive 2 bonus points on top of the base points.
I'm completely lost on how to achieve this, or if it's even possible through the software. Thoughts?
