    There's no difference between a 2-player game and a 4-player game for TGP calculation, correct?

    I'm going to try to calculate the TGP for these hypothetical events, all with 24 players:

    Event A: Each player plays in six 4-person matches (6 different games). The player rotation is generated ahead of time to minimize the number of times players face each other. Players receive 4 points for 1st, 3 for 2nd, 2 for 3rd, 1 for 4th. Player's points are tallied at the end of the night, and they are ranked accordingly.

    Event B: Each person plays in eight 2-player matches. Matches are generated before the event to ensure that nobody faces the same person twice. Games are drawn from a hat. For each match, the winner gets a 1, and the loser gets a 0. Player's points are tallied at the end of the night, and they are ranked accordingly.

    Event C: Event B is repeated 3 times, over 3 months, so that each member plays each other exactly once. However, the final event would only have 7 matches, because there are only 23 "other players".

    Event G: Each player does 9 "holes" of PinGolf, on 9 different machines. Traditional golf scoring applies.

    Is this correct?:

    Event A: TGP = 24% (6*4%)
    Event B: TGP = 32% (8*4%)
    Event C: TGP = 92% (23*4%)
    Event G: TGP = 36% (9*4%)

    I just want to make sure I'm not missing some nuance. Thanks!

    Yep, thinking this through, I think that there's no real advantage to 2-player games, in terms of WPPR points. There may be combinations of league size and machine count where head-to-head could work better, but that's logistics.

    These would all apply to a league. I'm trying to weigh some options for next year (these are just a few). Event A represents what we did for 2014.

    My understanding was that a league meet (or meets) is the same as a tournament, in WPPR terms.
