(n - r) * 10

Although this won't result in 1st place in a 30-player tournament getting 300 points.  They'll get 290.  That's because 30th place gets 0 points.  If you want 1st to get 300 points, use:

(n - r + 1) * 10

Easy to see with a 3 player tournament instead of 30.  Using first example, (n - r) * 10:

1st: 20
2nd: 10
3rd: 0

Using (n - r + 1) * 10:

1st: 30
2nd: 20
3rd: 10
