Hmm. I'd say no side tourneys for this one. Let's make sure everything runs fine and smooth at NLL first before introducing any other side events into the mix (except for teh buttsecks party afterwards).
I'm going to quote what I posted on NLL's website -

Posting here before smash boards (SB is blocked from work, blah) about this first.
I finished designing the new bracket files for 16, 32 and 64 player systems today! Included with it is a new feature that will display placings that each player got in addition to a scaled reward system of seeding points. This system will pay out more points if there are more players in the event, and if there are more skilled players in the event. Here is the technical crap:
Points are awared on a tier from the bottom up.
Here is the current payout for a 64 bracket:
43
39
34
29
24
19
15
11
8
5
3
2
1
Player portion of the scale example: If 60 players enter, there are 60/64 players. So points will be reduced by a factor of 60/64, or 6.25% reduction. This will go down to a max of 20%.
Skill portion of the scale example: If there are a bunch of high-points players entered into the tournament, the seeding point reward will be greater. If the top 64 players out of the entire seed pool enter, that consists of 65% of the total seed pool. If the entered pool is > 55%, points are increased by 25%. If the entered pool is 40-54%, it is increased by 12%. If the entered pool is 25-39%, points will be reduced by 10%. If it is below 25%, there is a 20% reduction in points awarded.
Both of those factors considered, you come out to this:
Code:
Scaled points = (R*(P/64))*S |(p/64)!>=.2
R= Rank payout
P= Players registered
S= Skill factoredThe total cash prize payout is NOT effected by this system. This system merely gives out seeding points to the players in a much easier, fairer way. I left a tiny piece of the puzzle out (2 actually) and I protected the tourney files so people won't be able to steal my technique to this without asking. If you want to use it, ask. If you edit, give credit.
See you all Saturday!
