In a previous post on October 13, 2010, 04:11:29 PM, i asked for help concerning a points system hat i wanted to implement
You were kind enough to offer the formulae
(n - r + 10) + (max(0, 4 - floor((r - 1) / 10)) * 10) + if(r < 9, max(0, 100 - (r * 10)) + if(r = 1, 10))
I have used this formulae twice before and it has worked great. And give s exactly what i asked for.
However now there is a slight problem.
In this example using TD 2.5.11 below there are 64 entrants
1st place gets 213 points
2nd, 63, 192.00
3rd, 62, 181.00
4th, 61, 170.00
5th, 60, 159.00
6th, 59, 148.00
7th, 58, 137.00
8th, 57, 126.00
9th, 56, 105.00
10th, 55, 104.00
DOWN TO
61st, 4, 13.00
62nd, 3, 12.00
63rd, 2, 11.00
64th, 1, 10.00
EXACTLY AS WHAT WAS DESCRIBED
HOWEVER IN TD beta 6
This is what happens
1st,151.00
2nd,130.00
3rd,119.00
4th,108.00
5th,97.00
6th,86.00
7th,75.00
8th,64.00
9th,43.00
10th,42.00
Then when you get to position 31 it goes into minus figure and awards
pos 31 -9
pos 32 -10
the last 5 positions get
60th -48
61st -49
62nd -50
63rd -51
64th - 52
Any ideas as to why there is a discrepancy in the 2 different points awarded systems
