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)

Dr. Neau's Comments
-------------------
Fair and balanced rankings system.
Rewards players for higher finishes.
Rewards players for doing better in bigger tournaments.
Does not penalize players for missing a tournament.

Historical Summary

There were at least 56 Poker nights at my house since I started these games. There are 52 represented in the data. There is one that I am missing the data on and 3 were Charity games to raise money for MS. Over the 52 nights there were at least 116 unique players with 70 return at least once, 51 attending at least 3 games, 34 attending at least 5 games, and 19 attending 10 or more games. We averaged over 12 players per night. Here is the numbers by year.
