Logrithmic league ranking system
Logrithmic league ranking system
Algorithm
---------
A player's score for a tournament is based on two
variables:
1. The size of the tournament, and
2. Where the player finished in the standings.
The score is computed using the following algorithm:
score = ln((p + 1) / f)
where
p = the participant count for the tournament and
f = the player's finish in the standings
Overall score is the average of all tournament scores.
Examples
--------
Malcolm finishes 7th in a 17 player tournament.
Malcolm receives 0.94 points:
. ln((17 + 1) / 7)
