Thanks so much for your help Corey, greatly appreciate it. But let me clarify a few things, as I may not have explained it exactly right.
Quote
5 points are awarded to each player per entry in the tournament
These 5 points are awarded just for showing up. I think we can add this in the buy in tab, correct? If so, then no formula is needed for this.
Quote
5 points are awarded per knockout of another player from the tournament
I don't have the program in front of me (on a mac at work) but I think we solved this by making each player in the tournament a 5 point bounty, so when you knock someone out, you are automatically awarded 5 points. Does this sound correct?

15 points are awarded for knocking out the previous events winner
You are correct Corey, the 15 point King of the Hill bounty can be added in the prizes, thank you, so I'm good with this
Quote
10 points are added to the prize pool per player entered in the tournament, creating the points pool for that event
The prize pool per tournament is determined by number of players in the event. So if we get 28 players, we add 10 points per player, so 280 points would be awarded at that tournament. These points are then distributed based on the percentage breakdown in my original post above:
28 Players = 280 Points
1st - 33% - 92.4 points
2nd - 22% - 61.6
3rd - 12% - 33.6
etc.
29 Players = 290 Points
1st - 33 % - 95.7
2nd - 22% - 63.8
3rd - 12% - 34.8
etc.
If you could be so kind as to please provide me with a modified formula for this breakdown, that would be much appreciated. Also, where/how do I actually enter this in TD (I'm new to the program).
Our first event of the season using Tournament Director is April 21st, so I'll let you know how it goes...
Thanks,
