ranking points
« on: September 18, 2009, 02:50:46 AM »
First of all..the software really rocks!!
We play monthly tournaments for over two years now (average field size is 120 players), and i recently discovered the TD...amazing software! I bought it the day i saw it.

Back to the question.
I'm a real newbie and I just can't figure out how to do this.
We play a monthly tourney and players are getting points for playing.
after 12 tourneys the top 16 players will earn a seat for the final event.
for every tourney a player will get the following points:

1st. 100 points
2nd. 75 points
3rd. 60 points
4th. 50 points
5th. 40 points
6th. 30 points
7th. 20 points
8th. 10 points
9th. 7 points
entering a tourney 5 points
No show 0 points

I know there is a way to do this, but I'm really stucked and can't get it to work.
Help would be very welcome.

My second question would be..is there a way to show the ranking on screen?
I'm using a laptop and the main screen is on a beamer.

excuse my bad English, for it is not my first language (I'm Dutch)

Use the following formula (in Points for Playing on the Game tab):

switch(r, 1, 100, 2, 75, 3, 60, 4, 50, 5, 40, 6, 30, 7, 20, 8, 10, 9, 7, 5)

You can insert the player rankings into your own layout by using the <rankings> token.  Edit the cell in which you wish to place the rankings, press the "Insert Token" button, then select the "rankings" token and set the various options you want.

Or, you can just use the built-in screen "Player Rankings".  You can display it by pressing F3, or by pressing the "Player Rankings" button at the top of the Settings window.  You can modify how this screen looks by right-clicking on the Player Rankings screen and selecting "Player Rankings Properties", or by pressing the "Other Properties" button on the Layout tab of the Settings window.

If you modify a cell or the Player Rankings properties, you'll want to save your Layout (on the Layout tab) so you don't have to make those changes again for a future tournament.
