Points formula is:

Points = 25 * Round(LOG16(Num_players/Rank)*5000/25)

For example, with a 16 player turnout, this awards 5000 points to 1st, 0 to last, and scales like log-inverse in between, rounded to the nearest 25 points:

.rank . .points
. 1st . . 5000
. 2nd . . 3750
. 3rd . . 3025
. 4th . . 2500
. 5th . . 2100
. 6th . . 1775
. 7th . . 1500
. 8th . . 1250
. 9th . . 1050
.10th . . .850
.11th . . .675
.12th . . .525
.13th . . .375
.14th . . .250
.15th . . .125
.16th . . . .0

Points at the end of the "season" represent chips at the "final table" (valid only for those who finish in the top 8); that is, the player with the most points at the end of the season will have the largest starting stack at the final table, and thus will be at an advantage for that final event. Points rankings, along with other stats, will be posted at StatsGenie.com.

Pay-outs for each game will be as follows, rounded to nearest $5:

.Number . 1st . 2nd . 3rd . 4th
. 2-8 . . 65% . 35% . . . . . .
.9-12 . . 55% . 30% . 15% . . .
13-18 . . 50% . 27% . 15% . 8%

Final table pay-outs, depending on total number of players in the league, will be:

.Number . 1st . 2nd . 3rd
. .16 . .$440 .$240 .$120
. .17 . . 470 . 255 . 125
. .18 . . 500 . 270 . 130
