Point Structure
Each person involved in the Monthly Tournament receives 10 points. If they attend every tournament in a given quarter this point total is doubled. We like to have people playing regardless of skill level and the best way to improve your game is to play.
Points are distributed as follows:
1st place receives 10 points/player x2 (i.e. if there are 10 people that week the winner receives 200 points: (10x10) x 2.
2nd place receives the inverse of 10X their place x1-1/2...I.E. in the same 10 person tournament 2nd place earns 135 points...(10 pts x9)x1.5
3rd place receives the inverse of 10x their place x 1.25 (rounded up). I.E. in the same 10 person tournament 3rd place receives 100 points...(10x8)x1.25.
If 16 or more players 4th place receives a 10% bonus to their points.
All other places receive the inverse of 10 times their place...i.e. in a 10 person tournament 4th receives 70 pts, 5th 60, 6th 50 and so forth.
OTHER BONUSES
Putting in all your chips takes courage. Calling someone who was willing to go all-in does too. So there is a bonus for whoever takes you out. 20 points per person eliminated. Additionally, if you eliminate the highest ranked person in the overall standings you receive a bonus of 20 points.
edit 5/25/07: One additional bonus: If you take out multiple people in the same hand they are worth 40 points per person instead of 20.
For example, Joe Mama in 6th place overall knocks out Hoosier Mama, the 2nd place overall in points. Joe Mama receives 20 for the knockout. Later Joe Mama takes out Ihadda Mama and Runto Mama, the 1st and 8th place people. He scores 100 points: 40 each and 20 points for taking out the highest ranked person.
High Hand of the night (Full House or better to qualify) receives 1 25 point bonus.
Additional points may become available based on league equity and participant suggestions.
