Leaderboards Standings Who Qualifies Leaderboard Rewards Scoring Formula

Tournament Leaderboard Formula

The CardRoom.com TLB formula takes the final standings of all players in an event and ranks each of them accordingly based upon their respective finishes, number of entrants and buy-in to establish a point value. We then take this number and add it to all previously scores to rank CardRoom members accordingly on the TLB. Satellite qualifiers to other events do not award TLB points.

To determine the number of
TLB Points you can earn from
playing in a tournament, tell us:

Number of players?

Tournament buy-in?

Cash

Loyalty! Points

Freeroll

Your finishing place?

CR Score = 10 * SQRT [(N/K) * [(1+LN(B+X1)]]

10 = multiple factor
SQRT = square root of the equation
LN = natural log
N = number of tournament entrants
K = respective finish of each player
B = buy-in for event, not including tournament entry fee, in the case of Loyalty! Point ("L!P") buy-in events one (1) L!P = $0.025 and with freerolls B would equal zero (0)
X1= formulaic constant

Scenario 1: CardRoom player takes 1st place in a $5 buy-in event with 300 entrants.

10 * SQRT [(300/1) * [(1+LN(5+0.389)]]
10 * SQRT [(300) * [(1+LN(5.389)]]
10 * SQRT [(300) * (1+ 1.684)]
10 * SQRT [805.308]
10 * 28.378
CR Score = 283.78

Scenario 2: The CardRoom player ends up finishing 3rd in a freeroll with 500 people.

10 * SQRT [(500/3) * [(1+ LN(0+0.389]]
10 * SQRT [(166.6) * [1+LN(0.389)]]
10 * SQRT [(166.6) * (1-.944)]
10 * SQRT [9.304]
10 * 3.050
CR Score = 30.50
