I’m working on a Google Sheets spreadsheet that tracks the tournament points earned in league play. I’ve been seeing some discrepancy between the tournament points calculated by my spreadsheet and the points officially earned in the tournament.
The site gives the following equation for calculating the tournament points:
Tournament points are calculated using the following formula:
(1000*(Math.sqrt(n)/Math.sqrt(k))*(1+Math.log10(b))).ceil
Where *n=number of participants, *k=position in tournament, and b=amount of buy in.
In the spreadsheet, this is equivalent to the following function:
=CEILING(1000 * (SQRT(n))/SQRT(k)) * (1 + LOG10(b)))
I’m using this function for Astral league SNG and obtain accurate numbers. But for MTT league games, the numbers are inconsistent.
Sometimes my calculation is accurate exactly, but other times it can be off by a few points.
Date | Tournament ID | Players | Finish | RPP | Pug’s |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
7/31/19 | 2867274 | 30 | 14 | 8784 | 8784 |
7/28/19 | 2868011 | 32 | 1 | 33942 | 33942 |
7/24/19 | 2867273 | 32 | 14 | 9072 | 9072 |
7/21/19 | 2868010 | 31 | 25 | 6682 | 6684 |
7/17/19 | 2805038 | 21 | 25 | 6547 | 6552 |
7/14/19 | 2868009 | 20 | 30 | 7349 | 7350 |
7/10/19 | 2805037 | 27 | 5 | 13943 | 13944 |
I am able to verify by checking the tournament points earned for my finish in the games I played, in my Activity page. But I can’t see every player’s Activity page to get their official tournament points earned, and it is infeasible to scrape the information from the site even if I could.
I’d like to understand why my calculations are not coming out exactly the same as Replay’s official numbers. And, if possible, get my calculations to agree 100% with Replay’s.
Would really appreciate it if a Replay rep can answer this definitively.
Thanks!
