Re: Stars SNG Leaderboard Questions

1) games played (G)
2) $ limit (L)… and,
3) Percentage of times in the money (P)
And here it is… G*(LOG(L/3)+0.2)*P… and the number you come up with is that players ‘score’ for that week, month or year.

No formula will be perfect, but I feel like this stresses volume WAY too much, especially when you don't factor in any difference for 1st/2nd/3rd. For example, using your formula:
<font color="blue"> Person A plays 200 $30 tourneys during the month.</font>
<font color="red">Person B plays 1000 $30 tourneys during the month.</font>
<font color="blue"> Person A has an amazing month and WINS (1st place) every single toureny.</font>
<font color="red">Person B isn't very good...he places 2nd or 3rd in 250 tourneys, and OOTM in 750 tourneys.</font>
Person B scores more leaderboard points.
Obviously no one is going to win every tourney they play in a given month, but hopefully this illustrates why this formula gives too much weight to pure volume. Factoring in different buyin levels I'm sure would amplify problems further.
