Default Re: Comparing variance of 180-player tourneys and 1800-player tourneys

This analysis assumed that the player finished in first place 1 out of every 90 tries, in second place 1 out of every 90 tries, etc.

"etc"

Eventually they will finish in 180 positions but do so in only 90 tournaments.

[/ QUOTE ] I did the analysis so that they finished in the money twice as often as the average player. For the 180 player tourney, I figured that they finished in each of the money spots 1 out of every 90 tries. So that's 18 out of 90 tries they finished ITM. The rest were OOTM.
