I think the formula provides different point values if you manually calculate then if you use that feature on the tab list called point distribution where you plug the variables in....

For example,

the 1st game 1a

the winner should get...

Sqrt(28)=5.2915
Sqrt (1)=1

5.2915/1=5.2915

10*5.2915*(1+log(10+.25)
10*5.2915*(1+1.0107)
52.915*2.01
=106.35915

Very different from the 176 awarded...

Is my math completely wrong or does the distribution variable plug in have glitches or something?

another example, game 3b for 3rd place

Sqrt(11)/sqrt(3)
3.3166/1.732=1.91489
1.91489*10*2.01=38.50 points vs the gauntlet calculation of...63.71



If anyone is interested in doing an excel sheet to update/correct the standings to see how it would alter the standings i think it would be interesting, and if no one feels like doing it...id take one for the team and develop a spread sheet..

Im not the best or quickest with excel so id prefer if someone else did it.

Let me know if im correct, or just a moron haha.
