Re: Dr. Neau\'s Formula

How many people here use this formula for calculating points in league play?

From that tourney site:
Players are ranked in each tournament using the following formula:
score = (sqrt(((a * b) * (b / c))) / (d + 1.0))
where
a = Tournament Buy-in Count
b = Player Buy-in Expense
c = Player Total Expense
d = Player Finish
The caculator gives these:
19/29= 6.02 points
29/29= 4..01 points
5/29= 20 points
1/29= 60 points
But, it also calculates that $150+5 is 12 points for 29th/29, while $150+15 = 6.95 points?
I'm never a fan of higher buy-in = more points and it seems that the calculator or the equation is doing weird things with the vig, so I wouldn't use it.
