[QUOTE="invitro, post: 151015, member: 446"] Well, I suppose this would work too. I have a hard time feeling certain of much beyond that the fully-linear method is no good. I suppose I am enjoying trying to find the "right" method, and I also feel an obligation to get it right, such that I am ok with it and you folks are ok with it too. Maybe I should make a poll asking for the best method? (Just! Kidding!) I see an advantage to bonus points in that a player can easily know how much a ranking is worth, possibly/probably more easily than plugging it into an exp or log function. My current plans are to (1) look at the IFPA method, (2) choose that, the log function, the exp function, or your method, or a combination of those, (3) to finally curtail the number of tables that give points at 23 per player, and (4) write up a full explanation and start a new thread with that, the current rankings, and a history of players' rankings back to February (because history is good). Which I'll do soon, but not right now. Please bear with me hashing this issue to death ;), and I do understand any frustration. [/QUOTE]
