Swiss tournament payouts

In Response To: Swiss tournament payouts (Bob Koca)

A simple - and in my (mathematical) beautiful - payout scheme runs as follows:

Second place is worth one half of first place,

third place is worth one third of first place,

...

n-th place is worth 1/n of first place.

All you have to do is: define the number n of places you want to honor and do some basic math.

Kind regards

Roland
