Code:
The Leader Board points would be awarded as per the following formula and only to the top 20% of the field in a tournament.
Formula = 15* {SQRT (SQRT (B))*(N-6)/R}
Where 15 = Base Points
B= Buy-In of a tournament
N=Total No. of players in a tournament
R=Rank of the player in a Tournament.
For Example:
Robert plays in a $100 + $9 Multi-Table tournament and finishes in the 10th place out of a field of 300 players.
Leader Board Points would be awarded as follows.
15: Base Points
B: $100 (Buy-in)
N: 300 (no of players)
R: 10 (rank of Robert)
Formula = 15* {SQRT (SQRT (100))*294/10}
15 * {SQRT (294)}
=15*17.15
Leader Board points awarded = 257.2
If Robert finishes in the 61st position then he would not get any leader board points as the points are awarded to top 20% of the field only.
