legendkiller Posted November 30, 2005 Share Posted November 30, 2005 Re: Dollar Up in December The only slight issue I have with these MTTs is (an issue that affect me but I only found out it did when I tried to prove my madness to myself) to get a truer picture and who is performing best I think is one that could be considered. It relates to the amount of entrys into the MTT and your final position. If there are 100 entrys and you come 99th, is this really better than an MTT with 125 entrys and you come 101st? I am sure your accute mathematical brain and your spreadsheet could work out a percentage for your position. A 100 runner MTT and you come 99th gives a score of 0.99, but 101st out of 125 gives a score of 0.808. Hence lower the score (or %) the better. I dont want to over complicate things but it will give a truer picture of how well we are all doing. Some of the minor placings for this months were drastically different. Indulge me another few minutes and I will post a comparision with the current table the table as it would be under this system. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slapdash Posted November 30, 2005 Share Posted November 30, 2005 Re: Dollar Up in December If we're going to change the scoring, I think a much more significant thing is that the difference between coming 1st and 11th should be a lot more than the difference between coming 101st and 111th. We could be very nerdy and make the score equal to the logarithm of the position? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Quiet Man Posted November 30, 2005 Share Posted November 30, 2005 Re: Dollar Up in December AJ, I think you're trying to wind GAF up. :clap :clap :clap No, it's a good point you put across but the table is 'not so easy on the eye' with your format. However, as usual, I'll go with any majority vote on this one but I do prefer current set-up. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

legendkiller Posted November 30, 2005 Share Posted November 30, 2005 Re: Dollar Up in December I am on the level here guys, it took me 10mins to copy and paste GaF table and insert the alternative formulas, averaged them out, sort by new rank and hey presto. I defy anyone to tell me that it is right that anyone who doesnt play in a 90 player mtt gets a higher score than someone who plays in a 125 player mtt and beats 24 people.

legendkiller Posted November 30, 2005 Share Posted November 30, 2005 Re: Dollar Up in December slap, do what i did and use your logorithm, see what it produces - if its accurate i would support it. i agree that if you are 1st in a 125 player then it is also better than coming 1st in 90 player mtt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But, hey! We could combine the two .... Score = log(x/n) where x = position and n = number of entrants. Best of all worlds! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GaF Posted November 30, 2005 Author Share Posted November 30, 2005 Re: Dollar Up in December At a quick glance, I like the look of the Log - if we're going to get away from dead "simple", then the Log looks the best measure....... However, I'm sure I'll put it to the vote........so everyone can decide...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
