Equation for Strength of Tournament discussion

[Zab]

It is also worth considering that a persons Strength of Tournament Points total should be divided by the number of tournaments they played in. This way people don't get an unfair advantage if they play in 15 tournaments as opposed to 7. Make sense?

For overall, maybe.. but for weekly leaderboard, if they don't have at least 7 tournaments played, they won't be in the top tier if that makes sense..

[Zab]

Really don´t understand what you are talking about, lol

Basically trying to make a rating system.. How well you stack up against others.. How far you get in tournaments etc..

We want to know who the 'best' player is sort of thing on a weekly basis (For free points)

[gefishy]

Yeah, you're probably right. Forget I even mentioned it

Though I agree that we shouldn't change the equation, maybe have a column for the number of tournaments people entered. That way if a debate arises, people can figure it out on their own

Ya there's not a good math formula to take into consideration # of tournaments played.

We might just list them (12 Tournaments Played)

Also, what to call this...


Maybe PokerOwned Player Rating?

Maybe call it like "PokerOwned Championship Series". Give out a weekly prize and then maybe have "seasons" where you can have an over-all champ at the end!

There are established TLB equations out there already ...

1 PokerStars formula

2 Full Tilt Poker formula

3 UB Formula

[Zab]

Full Tilts would be..

ITM % + Entrants / Position = your rating

I think this would work and be much simpler

Couple Scenarios, both you got 6th place

30 entrants, 40% ITM = 70/6 = 11.66 Rating
30 entrants, 35% ITM = 65/6 = 10.83 Rating
25 entrants, 35% ITM = 60/6 = 10.00 Rating


Fishy you see any problems with this formula?

Let's do it.

... I'll setup a leaderboard all time ranking system + weekly contest (Min 7 tourneys to qualify)

I just kinda quick scanned this the first time thru ... too much math ... not that I suck at math.

Anyways, am I reading this right? 7 tourneys in one week to qualify. 7 tourneys * 145 point = 1015 points a week minimum.

Or are you saying 7 tourney for the all time board (not the weekly board)?

I crashed this party late lol... I have some other input if you want it

[gefishy]

There needs to be some sort of minimum or else the numbers won't be any good. Considering there are 3 tournaments a day (soon to be four) and 7 days a week that is 21-28 tournaments. This system would be good for the regulars, but do what I do: Use the donkey betting and last longer bets to make points. If you are pretty decent at poker, you may have to do very few surveys to pull 7 a week!
