Tournament points on ChessKid
Tournament points are earned by participating in ChessKid tournaments. A player’s point total is based on four factors:
P: a multiplier based on your final placement
R: the projected number of rounds
G: the maximum group size
S: the average rating of all players in the tournament
Formula
Tournament Points = 10 × ( P × (1.5^R) × G × (S / 1000) )
How to calculate "P"
Place finish
|
"P" Value |
1 | .5 |
2 | .25 |
3 | .15 |
4+ | .1 * ((((T / 2) - 2) - (p - 3)) / ((T / 2) - 2)) |
Where T = total players and p = place finish.
To earn points, p must be less than or equal to T/2.
How to calculate R
R is calculated using the equation: (G / A)^X = T, solve for X.
Where A = the number of players who advance per group.
