Entering Point values as prizes
« on: February 02, 2014, 01:25:43 AM »
Hey all, I'm taking over a bar league and they already have a set point system in place that I don't want to mess with.  I'd prefer to use my own formula but don't want to step on any toes and piss anyone off.  I want to enter them in the 'prizes' tab but as rankings get lower the point value is the same.  Example, 20-30th get 500 points, 31st-40th get 300, etc.  Is there a way of entering 20th-30th in the rank field of the prizes tab to give each of those players that point value or do i have to enter every individual rank, 30, 31, 32.......  Seems like I should be able to enter 21;30 and have it set that point value for all of those ranks?

You should use the Points for Playing formula to accomplish this.  What's the points distribution?

I'm not sure of all the values and am still waiting for the info from the bar owner. 
Let's just say for example it's as follows
1-2500
2-2000
3-1600
4-1300
5-1100
6-1000
7-900
8-800
9-15-700
16-20-600
21-30=500
31-40=400
41-50=300

what would the formula look like for that? Thanks for the help Cory

switch(r, 1, 2500, 2, 2000, 3, 1600, 4, 1300, 5, 1100, 6, 1000, 7, 900, 8, 800) + if(r > 8 and r < 16, 700) + if(r > 15 and r < 21, 600) + if(r > 20 and r < 31, 500) + if(r > 30 and r < 41, 400) + if(r > 40 and r < 51, 300)
