If two players share place 2, each gets 33.09 points. That is the average of the points of places 2 and 3.
Each share is rounded on its own. The points are the exact sum, rounded once.
Players who share a place split the points of the places that they cover equally. A shared win and a tie in hand-for-hand both work this way.
In PokerSjef, a club chooses one system for each season and each league. The standings then add up the points of every event.
How the Points Systems Work
In every system, N and p are the entries: every player once, plus every rebuy. An add-on is not an entry.
The letter r is the final place of the player, from 1 to the number of players. Each player scores once in each event, for their finishing place. A rebuy or an add-on does not give a second result.
Field-Scaled Points
By default, PokerSjef uses field-scaled points. It is PokerSjef’s own default, not ICM and not an industry standard.
The most points in an event are the cap, Cap(N) = 10 × √N. More entries give more points.
- Every player gets 5% of the most points, for taking part.
- Up to 65% more comes from the finishing place. The winner gets all of it. With no rebuys, the last player gets none of it.
- A place at the final table, by default the top 8, adds 10%.
- A place in the top 15% of the entries, rounded up, adds 15%.
- The winner adds 5%.
Cap(N) = 10 × √NF = ((N − r) ÷ (N − 1))²Points = Cap(N) × (0.05 + 0.65 × F + 0.10 × T + 0.15 × Q + 0.05 × W)
F is the finish factor. T is 1 at the final table, Q is 1 in the qualification band and W is 1 for the winner. Otherwise, each is 0.
PokerSjef keeps the exact figures until the end. Then it rounds the points once, to 2 decimals, and a half rounds up.
With 16 players and 9 rebuys, N is 25. Then the winner gets 50 points and the last player gets 7.07 points.
Linear
Linear gives p − r + 1 points. Each place gets 1 point more than the place below it.
Logarithmic
Logarithmic gives ln(p + 1) ÷ r × 10 points. Place 2 gets half the points of the winner, place 3 a third, and so on.
Square Root
Square root gives √(p + 1) ÷ r × 10 points. As in the logarithmic system, place 2 gets half the points of the winner.
Fullt Hus
Fullt Hus gives 100 × ln((N + 1) ÷ place). The points go down slowly from place to place.
Fixed Points Table
A fixed points table gives the points that you type for each place, first place first. A place after the end of the table gets 0 points.
The linear, logarithmic, Fullt Hus and square-root systems also count the entries. A fixed points table gives the same points, whatever the number of entries.
Custom Formula
Type your own formula. The letters p, N and r mean the same as in the other systems, so you can copy their formulas. Each variable is the figure of one event.
PokerSjef reads the formula as a calculation. It never runs the formula as a program.
Shared Places
Players who bust out on the same hand are tied. They share the best of their places. They split the points of the places that they cover equally. If place 1 gives 50 points and place 2 gives 40 points, two players who share place 1 get 45 points each.
A shared win works in the same way.
Multipliers
In the linear, logarithmic, square-root and Fullt Hus systems, “Multiply the Curve By” multiplies the points from the curve.
In a league, an event can count more than once, for example 2 times for a final. The league’s page shows this beside the event. Seasons count every event once.
