Help Me / Re: ADD Loyalty Points, 4th & 5th place, HELP with points algorithm ?

« on: July 01, 2009, 11:53:12 AM »

Neither quickly nor easily, unfortunately.  Features are decided (usually) by audience benefit, or ease and simplicity of implementation.  Adding another "points" field would mean a lot of code in a lot of places, lots of UI changes, and I'm not sure how many other users would really benefit from it...

OK,

Is this a possible workaround.............

Maybe I could have 2 copies of the game. We save as a date, from a template saved as "start game".
If I set up the game using the standard points formula and allocate it to "july09" league.
Then BEFORE starting he game, I save a copy, then in the copy delete the formula, change the league to "Quarter3-09". I would not require any results in this game, just the ability to record loyalty points, which I do by ajusting the points by +1 for each player.

The only question I have is as to data storage............will TD try and pick up points from both leagues if the files are stored in the same folder? Or will it keep them separate, as the leagues are different?

Maybe you can take this workaround a step further by suggesting implementation steps or better idea?

Hi Corey,

How easily and quickly could you add a second points entry to TD?

I am totally stuck and really need to record our loyalty points within TD.

I would be willing to pay a fee for service.

Please help!

Help Me / ADD Loyalty Points, 4th & 5th place, HELP with points algorithm ?

« on: June 11, 2009, 08:50:50 PM »

Hi All,

running latest version 2.5.8

I am a paid commercial registered software user ( CClayton ), our poker league is www.pokermania.com.au , we run 7 nights per week freeroll entry.

I have some needs for our league which I can't seem to solve or work out myself, could someone please help?

A. Our season goes for 16 weeks. However we also run a monthly competition 4 times within a season. We give seperate points both for game position and for loyalty as described below:
Game points are only awarded for the monthly competition, no game points for an overall season.

We require the ability to input 2 types of points.

GAME points for the monthly tournament, which is reset back to zero at the start of the next month. I need to extract points daily to put up on the website.
LOYALTY points, which lasts for the entire 16 week season, a player recieves one loyalty point each time they fill thier drink card and hand it in. I need to extract loyalty points once per week to put up on the website.

How can I set up this system so the 2 remain seperate and independent of each other?

B. Game formula. We are using the standard formula of  round(10 * sqrt(n) / sqrt(r) - 9

Can someone tell me in plain english what this formula actualy does  in plain english so I can put it in the rules?

Also I need to give DOUBLE POINTS 1 night per week, how do I alter the formula to award this?

C. We pay 4th and 5th place, is there a way to display this in the stats? I can only see 1,2,3.? not so important if it can't be done.

Cheers,

Mark

Help Me / Points formula for a special promotion - Please Help !!!

« on: August 16, 2008, 01:36:47 AM »

Hi,

I am a registered commercial user running a poker room here in Australia, Poker Mania @ the Post Office Hotel, Maryborough.

We wan't to run a special promotion over 6 weeks for a player to win a Plasma TV. We need to have a points scoring system in place to obtain an ordered top 10 qualifiers at the end of the 6 weeks, for a playoff for the TV.

I have read and tried to get the "points" formula right for my application, but am struggling to get it to do exactly what I require, particularly with nesting multiple formulas.

Here is What I need ( on average we have 40 - 50 players per night), there is no buy in fee or rebuys allowed:

5 points for playing
20 points for handing in a completed "drink card" from the bar. About 50% of players hand these in each night so it needs to be able to be selected only for those players who hand it in.
2 points for each player that busts out before them
I like the higher points formula this one....... round(10 * sqrt(n) / sqrt(r)) - 7    this works well for what I want...........

I am just having trouble NESTING and combining the other formulas into this main one.

Could anyone help out and post the full formula to achieve the above ?

Cheers
