Points for Playing (Game tab):

(n - r + 1) + max(0, inTheMoneyRank - r + 1)

Tournament Scoring (Filter on Stats tab):

points

Overall Scoring (Filter on Stats tab):

Awesome Corey! I'll give it a go...

Thanks again for this awesome software.

The total points earned from a player's best 5 results (lowest score dropped) will be used to determine their chip stack for the Main Event. The player that has the highest total points will be crowned "Player of the Year".


We are playing 6 tourney, but as above, will only count the best 5 results for each player.

This would be accomplished by setting a filter to encompass the dates for the six tournaments. Overall score = sum(top(5, scores))

Payouts will be based on how many players are in each tourney. Example, 7 and fewer will pay top 2 places (70%/30%). 8 and over will pay top 3 places (50%/30%/10%). Over 16 will pay top 4 places, etc...

Points will also be given to players for each tournament based on finishing position. For example, if 10 players buy in then first place would receive 10 points, second place 9 points, etc.
Additional points will be given for the players that finish in the money. For example, if the top 3 players are paid, first place receives an additional 3 points, 2nd receives 2 points and third receives 1 point. Points will be adjusted based upon the number of players.

Example point breakdown for a 10 player tourney:

1st   13 points
2nd  11 points
3rd   9 points
4th   7 points
5th   6 points
6th   5 points
7th   4 points
8th   3 points
9th   2 points
10th 1 point

That seems to be a bit over my head (could be from lack of sleep last night), but seems to be based upon the traditional "n-r+1" formula.

From what I'm gathering, you're looking to pay out the top 25% for bonus points?

Awesome, thanks! So where does the formula for each tournament go?


Sorry if I wasn't very clear. It looks like the "n-r+1" formula will probably work for the main portion of it. On top of that, I'm looking to award additional points for those that finish in the money.

Example, in a 10 player tournament, I'm paying out top 3 spots, so 3 players will finish in the money. So I want to award 1st an additional 3 points, 2nd - additional 2 points, and 3rd - additional 1 point.

If I was paying out top 2 spots, then I'd award 1st an additional 2 points, and 2nd - additional 1 point.

Whenever the money spots change, the formula would need to take that into consideration for the additional points being awarded.

Does that help or make any more sense?
Thanks again!

Hey guys/gals, hopefully someone can help me out here. I'm looking to use a formula for a small league that is starting up soon. I also need a bit of help in where to use it in the software.

Payouts will be based on how many players are in each tourney. Example, 7 and fewer will pay top 2 places (70%/30%). 8 and over will pay top 3 places (50%/30%/10%). Over 16 will pay top 4 places, etc...

Points will also be given to players for each tournament based on finishing position. For example, if 10 players buy in then first place would receive 10 points, second place 9 points, etc.
Additional points will be given for the players that finish in the money. For example, if the top 3 players are paid, first place receives an additional 3 points, 2nd receives 2 points and third receives 1 point. Points will be adjusted based upon the number of players.

Example point breakdown for a 10 player tourney:

1st   13 points
2nd  11 points
3rd   9 points
4th   7 points
5th   6 points
6th   5 points
7th   4 points
8th   3 points
9th   2 points
10th 1 point

The total points earned from a player's best 5 results (lowest score dropped) will be used to determine their chip stack for the Main Event. The player that has the highest total points will be crowned "Player of the Year".


We are playing 6 tourney, but as above, will only count the best 5 results for each player.

What formula would be good for this, and how would I set up the software to use it?
Thanks in advance for the replies and help....

No dice for me yet....

If I change the alignment, it just moves it too far to the left. Changing the font leaves it in the same position.

Thanks for the great help!
I got the layout to work, but it seems the 1024x768 is a bit off. I took a screen shot of what it looks like currently.

Thanks man! Any tips on how to set it up to use the 1024 x 768 image with the original EPL layout?

Sorry, I'm new to the editing thing...

I'm also looking to get this to work with a 1024 x 768 screen? Great looking layout!

Converted to TD would be:

sqrt(((n * bc) * (bc / tc))) / (r + 1.0)

I've tried the formula as well, but I'm get a value of Infinity...

Any ideas?

Is there anyway for the TD2 software to automatically change the time of levels when getting to heads up play. Our group likes 10min levels when heads up, but 20 min levels otherwise. Any suggestions? Even Possible?

Help Me / Looking for a point formula (easy)

« on: February 13, 2007, 10:22:59 AM »

This should be fairly simple for you guys...but I'm algebra illiterate.

I need a formula for my league that will give points based on the amount of players, with an additional point given to each person for their buy-in, and a point given for each knockout. Does that make sense?

For example:
12 player game
1st -12 points
2nd- 11 points
3rd - 10 points
4th - 9 points
5th - 8 points
6th - 7 points
7th - 6 points
8th - 5 points
9th - 4 points
10th - 3 points
11th - 2 points
12th - 1 point

So the 1st place winner equals the number of players for that game.

Hope that makes sense.

THANKS
