The 4FunPoker Tournament Ranking System
Have you ever wondered who the best tournament players on 4FunPoker are? We’ve created a point tracking system
designed to rank our top tournament players using place of finish, number of tournament entries,
and buy-in as factors determining points earned for any 4FunPoker tournament. The 4FunPoker Tournament Rankings
will showcase the top tournament players at 4FunPoker.
For live, preliminary results updated hourly, go the the 4FunPoker client lobby and click on "Requests"->"Tournament Leader Board". You can view your current point totals for the week, month, and year.
The winner of the Tournament Leader Board each week receives the opportunity
to play a LeaderBoard Challenge freeroll with a member of Team 4FunPoker. For more details
about this, click here.
Only 10 best results will be counted for the weekly rankings, 20 best results
for the monthly rankings, and 100 best results for the yearly rankings.
TLB Yearly standings are used to qualify players for special promotions at 4FunPoker.

Here’s how it works: The top 15% of finishers will receive points towards the 4FunPoker Tournament Rankings standings,
based on the number of entrants, the tournament buy-in, and place of finish. Note: "Sit-and-go" tournaments with less than 100 players, "Sit-and-go"
satellites, heads-up tournaments, shootout tournaments, restricted-entry
tournaments, private tournaments, play money buy-in tournaments, VIP
Freerolls, and satellite tournaments do not count towards the rankings.
The formula used to determine the total points awarded to a player (in the top 15% finishers)
for any given tournament is:
Points = 10 * [sqrt(n)/sqrt(k)] * [1+log(b+0.25)]
Where:
n is the number of entrants
k is the place of finish (k=1 for the first-place finisher, and so on)
b is the buy-in amount in dollars (excluding administrative fee). For freerolls the buy-in is $0, and
for FunPoint tournaments 1 FunPoint is counted as $0.05.
Example 1: A player takes third place in a $20 tournament with a field of 150 players. Here:
n = 150, k=3, b=20
The total points awarded to this player are:
= 10 * [sqrt(n)/sqrt(k)] * [1+log(b+0.25)]
= 10 * [sqrt(150)/sqrt(3)] * [1+log(20+0.25)]
= 10 * sqrt(50) * (1+1.31)
= 10 * 7.071 * 2.31
= 163.09 (rounded up)
Example 2: A player takes 25th place in a freeroll with a field of 900 players. Here:
n = 900, k=25, b=0
The total points awarded to this player are:
= 10 * [sqrt(n)/sqrt(k)] * [1+log(b+0.25)]
= 10 * [sqrt(900)/sqrt(25)] * [1+log(0+0.25)]
= 10 * sqrt(36) * [1+(-0.60206)]
= 10 * 6 * 0.39794
= 23.88 (rounded up)
Example 3: A player takes 10th place in a 200 FunPoints tournament with a field of 250 players. Here:
n = 250, k=10, b = 200 * 0.05 = 10
The total points awarded to this player are:
= 10 * [sqrt(n)/sqrt(k)] * [1+log(b+0.25)]
= 10 * [sqrt(250)/sqrt(10)] * [1+log(10+0.25)]
= 10 * sqrt(25) * [1+(1.01)]
= 10 * 5 * 2.01
= 100.54 (rounded up)
