P-factor = 137
Lets say they come in first

(137-1)^2 / 137^2 * k factor

And is ^2 to the second power?

Well, the thing is, the P-factor should be approaching the amount of people awarded, not the total amount of competitors. Say, in your example, the top 32 get points. #32 will get 26.94 points, but #33 will get 0...

1. Tournaments must be played individually; no teamstuffs.
   • Tournaments that you play in 2v2 with a fixed partner ARE able to be included.
   

Huh? You mean ARE NOT?

Also I feel like the 2v2 random tourney should not be included in this... It is such a different tournament and seems weird to compare results of this with standard 1v1 tourneys.

Well, i actually meant that. Say that in the next 2v2 tournament wouldfamous/DieMFDie win, they will both get the points for 1st place, but be listed individually in the leaderboard.

Score = ((P+1-Position)^2)/P^2)*K

Notice the minus in front of the parentheses in the original formula. This formula would be the exact same, except without the parentheses.
