Death from Above

Written by QuasiPro regarding rankings:

"The rankings are not based on how much money you have earned but rather how many points you earn. Points are rewarded to the top 15% from each tournament (which can sometimes be out of the money). The member in 1st place will receive an amount of points equal to the total amount of participants. 2nd place will receive 97% of the total points that 1st place got, 3rd will receive 97% of the 2nd place total, and so on. The actual formula is as follows: Total points = N * 0.97 ^ (X - 1) or 0.97 to the power of (X - 1) where, N = total number of participants X = your placing

For example, if you were to place 55th in a tournament with 737 players, you would receive 737 times (0.97 to the power of 54) = 142.28 points."
