How to calculate the number of points earned in tournament leaderboards
Tournament leaderboards use the following formula to determine the number of points earned.
Leaderboard Point = Log (Prize Pool)/ Sqrt (Relative Rank)
Relative Rank = Finish Position / Number of Entrants
Let's say you finished 1st in a tournament with 2500 entrants and a prize pool of $40.000.
A) - We have to find out the Log
You can find out the log of the Prize Pool by entering the following on Google: log(40000)
Log = 4.60205999133
B) Now we have to determine the Relative rank value
We divide the finish position (1) by the number of entrants (2500)
(1/2500)
Relative rank = 0.0004
C) Find out the Sqrt (Relative Rank)
To find out the Sqrt (Relative Rank)enter the following on Google: Square root of 0.0004
Square of relative rank = 0.02
D) Now that we found out all the values, we just apply them to the formula:
Log (Prize Pool) / Sqrt (Relative Rank)
4.60205999133 / 0.02 = 230.102999566
You earned 230 points
