Ranking Method

Method: Logarithmic Average

Algorithm
---------
A player's score for a tournament is based on two
variables:
1. The size of the tournament, and
2. Where the player finished in the standings.

The score is computed using the following algorithm:
    score = ln((p + 1) / f)

    where

    p = the participant count for the tournament and
    f = the player's finish in the standings

Overall score is the average of all tournament scores.

Examples
--------
Malcolm finishes 7th in a 17 player tournament.
Malcolm receives 0.94 points:
  . ln((17 + 1) / 7)
