Another Formula Question???
« on: January 21, 2009, 10:32:59 AM »
I was hoping someone could help me out with a formula.  I am new to Tournament Director and have been trying to take pieces of other people formulas to create one for our league, but so far I have not had any luck.

Here is what we would like to do:

1)   Typical scoring 1st out of 10 players would get 10 points, 2nd would get 9 etc.
2)   Bonus points for finishing in the top 3.  First +3, Second +2 and Third +1
3)   1 point for each knockout
4)   And additional point for knocking out the season’s point leader
5)   Rebuy -2

Also, how are people handling non league players?  We only have 7 in our league, but usually have 10 people playing.

Thanks!

Here's the basic formula for your requirements 1 through 5:

n - r + 1 + max(0, 3 - r + 1) + nh - (nr * 2)

You'll have to create a prize on the Prizes tab to award the bounty point, or adjust the hitman's points manually after the tournament (edit the player on the Players tab).

Thanks Corey.

Is there away to apply the points only to league members? 

For example if the tournament winner is not in the league and the second place winner is, the second place person would receive the 1st place points?

Replace the "rank" variable (or "r") with the "leagueRank" variable.  This will rank only the players who are in the tournament's league.
