Formula simplification help

switch(r, 1, 550, 2, 500, 3, 450, 4, 400, 5, 350, 6, 300, 7, 250, 8, 200, 9, 150, 10, 100, 11, 25, 12, 25, 13, 25, 14, 25, 15, 25, 16, 20, 17, 20, 18, 20, 19, 20, 20, 20, 21, 15, 22, 15, 23, 15, 24, 15, 25, 15, 26, 10)

Any place 26th and above get awarded 10 points. I don't know how to write that part. If anyone has a way to simplify this formula, help would be greatly appreciated.

Parameters:

- 26+ = 10 points
- 21st - 25th = 15 points
- 16th - 20th = 20 points
- 11th - 19th = 25
- 1st - 10th = 50

and

1st thru 10th gets 50 points for each place higher that they exit the tournament

10=50, 9=100, 8=150, 7=200, 6=250,,1=500 (all in 50 point increments.

It's times like this that I wish I paid more attention in Algebra2.

thanks for your help

This is pretty easy.

so 26+ gets 10 points
  21st-25th get 15 points (or 5 beyond the minimum)
  16th-20th get 20 points (or 5 + 5 beyond the minimum)
  11th-15th get 25 points (or 5 + 5 + 5 beyond the minimum)
  10th gets 100, plus 50 for every place beyond that (up to 550 for 1st) (not including the 25 thus far)

10 + if(r<=25,5,0) + if(r<=20,5,0) + if(r<=15,5,0) + if(r<=10,50*(12-r)-25,0)

Thanks matt. That was exactly what I needed.
