Default Re: Dr. Neau\'s Formula

The most common formula is (n+1-r).

n = number of entrants
r = rank placed

Where out of 10 players, first place gets 10, second gets 9, etc. etc. etc. last place gets 1 point.

This is a bit too loser-friendly for me so I adjusted it to the following:

(n+1-r)+n/r

This makes it easy for the guys to understand, last place always gets 2 points and first place always gets twice the number of entrants, decreasing dis-proportionally as the rank decreases, whereas the better you do, the more you are rewarded.
