I like it, but for the b-ball tourney you put points awarded for top 16/32. What's that mean?

Undecided between 16 or 32.

Oh ok. I'd say 32 since its a big tourney with around 132 people

Now, here's my first attempt at making a formula:
(((P-factor-(position-1))^2)/(P-factor^2))*K-factor
The K-factor is a certain value, and will define the points awarded for the winner.
The P-factor is also variable, and will somewhat lower the points given at not-so high positions when kept under the total competitors count. I recommend using amount of ppl awarded + 1
Basically round down any fractionned values

Looks cool..maybe give an example?
RE: The Outwitters Uber Cup! - Coolio - 01-05-2013 08:11 AM
I was trying to think of one example....so the bball tournament has 136 members so
P-factor = 137
Lets say they come in first
(137-1)^2 / 137^2 * k factor
And is ^2 to the second power?

Huh? You mean ARE NOT?
Also I feel like the 2v2 random tourney should not be included in this... It is such a different tournament and seems weird to compare results of this with standard 1v1 tourneys.

Gfich I like your formula but I don't think you should be subtracting 1 from position, otherwise you could get 0 if you come in 1st place. Why not this:
Score = ((P+1)^2-Position)/P^2)*K
Where:
P = Population of tournament entrants
Position = player rank in tournament (example: 2nd place, position = 2)
K = Value determining the strength of the tournament (higher K value means you get more points)
Using Coolio's BBall tournament as an example, if I come in 2nd place, and we'll give a K value of 30:
((137-2)^2/136^2))*30 = 29.56
If I came in 1st place, I would get the maximum K value of 30. The BBall tournament is actually a bad example because it is so huge. Let's do it with OWSA, so 64 participants, say I come in 7th place, and a K value of 25.
((65-7)^2/64^2))*25 = 20.53
Gfich, I also wouldn't round these values to the nearest whole number if I were you. Keep the value to the hundredths place to resolve ties methinks.

Where is OWSA tournament? It´s very well organized and respect all the rules :/

OWSA = Outwitters Super Arena I believe. I agree that tournament is being run quite well so far!
