I'm switching my poker league over to The Tournament Director for running and tracking point totals throughout the season of our league. I haven't gotten to far into the software yet, but in the interest of time, I wanted to inquire about writing an algorithm for our point system, which is as follows:
5 points are awarded to each player per entry in the tournament
5 points are awarded per knockout of another player from the tournament
15 points are awarded for knocking out the previous events winner (we refer to this as the King of the Hill bounty)
10 points are added to the prize pool per player entered in the tournament, creating the points pool for that event
The official final table of 9 then earns points, based on the following percentages (so number of points per place of finish will vary based on the number of players in that particular event):
1st - 33%
2nd - 22%
3rd - 12%
4th - 8%
5th - 7%
6th - 6%
7th - 5%
8th - 4%
9th - 3%
We also have a 10 tournament season, with the best 7 counting towards the end of the season totals (you drop your 3 lowest tournaments).
Any assistance with the best way to automatically calculate and track all of this in TD would be much appreciated.
Thanks,
