New rankings system

[RailJoe]

We have just started a new rankings system based on freerolls participation and results. Slightly more than half of the March freerolls will affect the rankings.

To be eligible, you need to enter your Poker Stars and Full Tilt Poker screen names in your profile. The screen names MUST be spelled correctly and are case sensitive.

EDIT: IMPORTANT! If you choose to have your screen names hidden in your profile, you will NOT be eligible for the rankings system!

The formula works like this:

1. Points for ITM players are multiplied by 1.25.
2. In order to be listed in the rankings, you need to play at least five tournaments.

Ranking points per player and tournament = k*p*sqrt(m/n)

Weighted sum = 1/sqrt(t) * SUM(Ranking points per player and tournament)

k - weight coefficient, set to 1 except for ITM results, for which it's 1.25.
p - place points for the tournament. 1 point for last place, first place gets 1 point per competing player.
m - total prize money for the tournament.
n - number of competitors in the tournament.
t - number of tournaments the player has competed in.

All of this seems really awesome. I busted out early yesterday due to frustration from another tournament, but I hope to do well in the future ranking games.
