Equation for Strength of Tournament discussion

[gefishy]

As I said, the equation is simple, we just need a dollar value for the points that a person invests in the tournament.

If you had to guess, what is the conversion of 140 points to dollars? Looking at your redeem cost (580=$1 Carbon) that would make an opt-in cost about $.25.

So, the equation would probably be total winnings/(total opt-ins*.25)=ROI

I would probably suggest setting a minimum number of tournaments to qualify. Say 5/week or 20 tournaments to qualify for the monthly leaderboard?

This equation would be for each user.

I heart math. Maybe that shoulda been my major... Regardless, when this is figured out we should have a pretty freakin' solid ranking system. It's a pain now, but it will make for solid data later

ya I think that works.. Total players * ITM % avg * your place inverted

I'll setup a leaderboard all time ranking system + weekly contest (Min 7 tourneys to qualify)

Pff, that wasn't so hard

I would suggest that we run a test with this first before rolling it out. Make sure the data works before losing too many points...

Maybe create a page for it like you would if it were live but don't let anybody access it yet. Let the numbers run for a week and then check it to see if it makes sense?

I'm creating a simulation right now with 25 fake members and 5 tournaments to see what happens. I will post it up here when I am done.

Strike that, the simulation is taking too long. Not doing it anymore

... I'll setup a leaderboard all time ranking system + weekly contest (Min 7 tourneys to qualify)

I just kinda quick scanned this the first time thru ... too much math ... not that I suck at math.

Anyways, am I reading this right? 7 tourneys in one week to qualify. 7 tourneys * 145 point = 1015 points a week minimum.

Or are you saying 7 tourney for the all time board (not the weekly board)?

I crashed this party late lol... I have some other input if you want it

There needs to be some sort of minimum or else the numbers won't be any good. Considering there are 3 tournaments a day (soon to be four) and 7 days a week that is 21-28 tournaments. This system would be good for the regulars, but do what I do: Use the donkey betting and last longer bets to make points. If you are pretty decent at poker, you may have to do very few surveys to pull 7 a week!
