Points Calculation & Average Points

1) Tournament reference (by rounds)

Each tournament has a class (A–D) based on the number of rounds. The class defines: Reference Points, the minimum number of players, and the subtract (setter) sequence.

2) Points per event (by position)

After players are sorted by total swings (lower is better), the system calculates points starting from position 1, then subtracts for the next positions.

totalPlayers = number of players in the event

minPlayers   = minimum players for the tournament class

wagrCount    = number of WAGR players in the event

playerPercentages = (totalPlayers >= minPlayers) ? 1 : (totalPlayers / minPlayers)

Position 1 points:

Next positions:

// For position n (n = 2, 3, 4, ...)
subtractValue = setterArray[n - 1]  // if out of range, use the last value
posNPoints = max(0, pos(n-1)Points - subtractValue)
                

3) Event age conversion (aging)

To keep rankings relevant, points from older events are reduced.

If monthsDiff ≤ 12   → points stay the same

If 13 ≤ monthsDiff ≤ 24 → points decay gradually (linear)

If monthsDiff > 24  → points = 0 (not counted)

decay formula (13–24 months):
pointsConverted = points * (1 - ((monthsDiff - 12) / 12))
                

4) Average points (final conversion)

After all events are processed (including aging), the points are summed and then divided to get the average points.

eventCount = number of events counted (after aging rules)

totalFinal = Σ (pointsConverted for each counted event)

divisor = (eventCount < 6) ? 6 : eventCount

averagePoints = totalFinal / divisor
                

Note: “average points” is what we use to sort the ranking.
