Scoring Method
Overview
A scoring method is a way of assigning scores to players based on their performance in a tournament.
A tournament specifies the scoring method that it will use for scoring its players.
There are two types of scoring methods:
- Scoring formula: You write a formula using operations, variables and constants that will take inputs and produce a score
- Scoring spreadsheet: Players are assigned scores strictly based on the number of players and their finishing position
Scoring methods let you determine how to handle ties in tournament finishing positions. You have the following options:
- Score involved players at the highest position
- Score involved players at an average of all finishes in the range (for instance, if 3 players are tied for 1st, it will calculate the scores of them finishing in 1st, 2nd and 3rd and average them...note that depending on your formula that isn't necessary equal to finishing 2nd).
Scoring methods are reusable components stored in the repository. They are managed in the scoring method library
panel.
