Hey yo Haps,

may I ask ya a question? Why the off number for points, you could simplify things so much with the basic

Because we believe that finishing say second out of 9 players is "more difficult" then finishing 3rd out of 10 players and the points should reflect it.  Or finishing first out of 9 players is harder then finishing second out of 10 players.

As for your second part question the answer is yes, it is possible. Open up the Stats tab, click on the Filter button and in the new window on the bottom right hand side click on the Overall Scoring button.  Now I'm not all that keen on this part of the program as I have never really dabbled with it, but looking at the help file, I think this would be what you would want to put in the window for a formula. If I were you, I would wait for a second opinion before going ahead with it though:

Yeah I don't need to worry about this till our next season starts in a month or so.  Too much of a pain to worry about right now that we are 12 games into our 13 game season.

First I just wanted to say you have done some great work.  Last time I checked out tournament director was a few years ago and I have been using Neau's.  Decided to check out the latest version and am very impressed with all the stuff you have added to it.  Pretty much all of the things that were missing before that caused me to use Neau have been added plus alot more.  Was happy to see the new features as I've always liked the look of TD's screens.

In trying to get everything up and running I'm kinda stupid when it comes to formula's.  My league uses a weighted rank = points system.  10 players in the game it's a simple first = 10pts 2nd 9ts 3 8pts etc.

But when we only have 9 players we adjust the points so that 1st is worth 9.5pts 2nd 8.5pts etc.  Complete breakdown posted below:

I'm just not quite sure how to get it to factor in everything and adjust points accordingly.

As an aside this may be possible and I haven't seen it yet but if not my league runs 13games a season and we discard the 3 lowest pts games so your season total is your best 10 out of 13 games.  Is there any way to do this in TD?
