I'm not sure if it's been posted yet, but I was wondering how one would go about finding out how they placed in EVO. Is there a way to calculate the placing based on set wins and loses ei. I got 4 wins and 2 loses, or how far one made it in their pool ie. I made it to losers semi finals?

The math is not super hard. There's a formula, but the shorthand is you take the number of players (1926), and subtract a quarter of the next highest of power of two. In this case, 2048.


0 wins = 1926 - (2048/4) = 1414th place
1 win = 1414 - (2048/4) = 902nd place
2 wins = 902 - (1024/4) = 646th place
3 wins = 646 - (1024/4) = 390th place
4 wins = 390 - (512/4) = 262nd place

Congrats! You got in a 128-way tie for 262nd place.

Something is off here, 128 people can't be tied for 262nd when in the worst case scenario, they would all be in the top 256.
