Help with points formula
« on: May 13, 2011, 04:15:54 PM »
Hello TD Netizens!

I have a poker league with roughly 80 different players and we have a points system for players that make the final table. Here is how our players earn points in our system:

1st: 100pts + 10% of Cash won (example $1100 won = 110pts, thus 210 total points)
2nd: 75pts + 10% of $
3rd: 50pts + 10%
4th: 35pts + 10%
5th: 20pts + 10%
6th: 15pts + 10%
7th: 10pts + 10%
8th: 8pts +10%
9th: 6pts + 10%
10th: 5pts + 10%

Can anyone suggest a formula that I can use to "automate" this in the database? We use the points to establish chip stacks in our league's monthly championship. Thanks in advance for your help.

Use this formula for the Points for Playing field on the Game tab:

switch(r, 1, 100, 2, 75, 3, 50, 4, 35, 5, 20, 6, 15, 7, 10, 8, 8, 9, 6, 10, 5) + if(r < 11, totalWinnings * .1)
