that how it looks to me

im good at math but i must have missed that day of school

That calculator is pretty handy. Send that to the head webmaster here, probably joe, and have this put onto the site.

say u got 101st place
number in tourney is 10,000 for a number
take 10,000 then multiply that by the number u get of .97^101st power (in this case) which would be.....
.97 times its self 101 times = .046
10,000 times .046 = 460 points for that tourney

or somewhere around there

Deathrow, I was afraid that was what it was. Maybe my daughter's calculator has the abilty to do the calculation in one step.

Thanks.

THIS IS REALLY A SIMPLE WAY TO FIND OUT!

i assume you ask this question because of the railbirdscalculation for points:

formula: 0.97^A x B
B=Competitors in the Tourney
A=Your place minus 1
^= power
f.e. lets say you got 4th in a 1000ppl tourney: then we have A=4-1=3, B=1000
A=3 implies 0.97x0.97x0.97 multiplied with 1000=appr 913 points

please note that only the top 15percent in railbirdstourneys earn points...

my calculator must be cheap cause it doesnt have a power sign on it
