So ya, we're on the same page.

And yes my Math is off.. lemme see

A quick idea for the formula would be:

Players * ITM% * Your Place = Your Strength (Lowest is better)

35 * 30 * 8 = 84 Strength Of Tournament

ITM% = 40% how would that change it

35 * 40 * 8 = 112 Strength of Tournament



I could do

Players in Tourneys + ITM % + Where you placed (Backwards) so if theres 30 people in, then 1st place = 30 pts, 2nd place = 29 pts etc
OK,

I think I may still be confused here. What exactly would that final Strength of Tournament number mean?

If I am reading it correctly, when you say "Strength of Tournament" you mean a number of points assigned to your finishing spot relative to the average quality-of-play of the rest of the field?
