Points for the Twitter Poker Tour events are awarded for play in the Thursday Points events using the PokerStars TLB scoring method.

Points = 10 * [sqrt(n)/sqrt(k)] * [1+log(b+0.25)]

  • 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 rake)

The points are recorded using the WP Poker League plugin which is a great tool for managing poker league schedules, results and leaderboards within WordPress.
