what are tourney points for
We calculate points for the Tournament Toplists using the formula:
(1000*(Math.sqrt(n)/Math.sqrt(k))*(1.01+Math.log10(b))).ceil
Where:
n=number of participants k=position in tournament b=amount of buy in
Let me try to explain it…
Say you placed 1st in a 10 person tournament with a 10,000 buy in.
If you put those numbers into the formula, it would look like this:
(1000*(Math.sqrt(10)/Math.sqrt(1))*(1.01+Math.log10(10000))).ceil
Hence, you would receive 15,844 points.
If you placed 5th in the exact same tournament, you just swap the 1 for a 5, and evaluate.
The formula would look like this:
1000*(Math.sqrt(10)/Math.sqrt(5))*(1.01+Math.log10(10000))).ceil
Hence you would earn 7,086 points.
Please note that we only sum your top 10 multi-table tournaments per week, 20 per month, and 100 per year.
