No, but I can tell you the secret formula right now if you promise not to tell anyone else.
If there are 100 players or less, than the top 10 get points. If there are more, the top 10% get points. So, if there are 200 players, the top 20 get points starting at 20 points for 1st, then 19 points for 2nd, then 18 for 3rd and so on.
Now, because it's very difficult to keep track of everyones screen names and their user names here at TRR, I simply ask that everyone post their user name in the thread in which the freeroll is announced.
Certain players I know. They are regulars and if they forget to put their name in, I will still know who they are. But, players should never count on that. Always be safe and post your username.
The Leaderboard is for TRR members only. If someone doesn't bother to take 2 seconds to post their user name (a "thank you" is nice too) and I don't know who they are, they are not counted. So, if you take 5th place, but the 4 players above you are people that didn't post their user names...then as far as points, you basically took 1st place and get 10 points.
Last tournament, I placed like 30th and still got a couple points. I like it like this, that way we don't have 1000 different names on the leaderboard of one time visitors who didn't even bother to introduce themselves to us even though we gave them a chance to win real money. They can have the money, but they ain't getting the points.
I play for points. For the coveted title of "TRR Player of the Year". I love the competition. The money is a bonus.
