Formula:
Rating = (ScaledPoints * (2 + TDF)) + (Wins * (15 + TDF)) - (Average Place * (0.75 + TDF)) + ((Average Time Alive / 1440) * 2) + (Eliminations * (0.5 + TDF)) + (K/D Ratio * (3 + TDF))
Tournament Difficulty Factors (TDFs):
•	FNCS Global Championship: 8.0
•	FNCS Regional Finals: 6.0
•	FNCS Semis: 4.0
•	FNCS Open Quals: 2.5
•	Cash Cups and Evaluation Cups: 2.0
•	Solo Victory Cups: 1.5
•	Skin Cups and Ranked Cups: 1.0
Scaled Points:
•	FNCS Global Championship: 4.0
•	FNCS Regional Finals: 3.0
•	FNCS Semis: 2.5
•	FNCS Open Quals: 2.0
•	Cash Cups and Evaluation Cups: 1.5
•	Solo Victory Cups: 1.2
•	Skin Cups and Ranked Cups: 1.0
Explanation:
•	This formula calculates a performance rating for Fortnite players based on their points, wins, average place, normalized time alive, eliminations, and K/D ratio.
•	The TDFs and scaled points are used to adjust the weight of each component based on the tournament's difficulty and the relative value of points earned.
•	By applying the appropriate TDF and scaling factor to the formula, we can accurately evaluate player performance across different tournament tiers, even when point systems vary.


The formula you've provided calculates a player's **Rating** in a Fortnite tournament based on several performance metrics, with adjustments made for the tournament's **difficulty** and **scaled points**. Here's a breakdown of the formula components:

### Formula:
\[
\text{Rating} = (\text{Scaled Points} \times (2 + \text{TDF})) + (\text{Wins} \times (15 + \text{TDF})) - (\text{Average Place} \times (0.75 + \text{TDF})) + \left( \frac{\text{Average Time Alive}}{1440} \times 2 \right) + (\text{Eliminations} \times (0.5 + \text{TDF})) + (\text{K/D Ratio} \times (3 + \text{TDF}))
\]

### Variables:
- **TDF (Tournament Difficulty Factor)**: Adjusts the weight of each metric based on tournament difficulty.
  - Example: FNCS Global Championship has a TDF of 8.0.
  
- **Scaled Points**: Multiplies the points earned by a scaling factor based on the tournament tier.
  - Example: FNCS Global Championship has scaled points of 4.0.
  
- **Wins**: Number of match wins during the tournament.

- **Average Place**: Average placement in the tournament matches (lower is better).

- **Average Time Alive**: Average time spent alive in a match, divided by 1440 (number of minutes in a day) to normalize the value.

- **Eliminations**: Total eliminations (kills) in the tournament.

- **K/D Ratio**: Kill/Death ratio, indicating the average number of kills per death.

### Explanation of Components:
1. **Scaled Points**: 
   - \(\text{Scaled Points} \times (2 + \text{TDF})\)
   - More challenging tournaments (higher TDF) award more rating points for earned points.

2. **Wins**:
   - \(\text{Wins} \times (15 + \text{TDF})\)
   - Wins are heavily weighted, especially in harder tournaments, because they reflect strong performance.

3. **Average Place**:
   - \(\text{Average Place} \times (0.75 + \text{TDF})\)
   - Lower placements (closer to 1st place) are rewarded, with harder tournaments punishing higher (worse) placements more harshly.

4. **Average Time Alive**:
   - \(\frac{\text{Average Time Alive}}{1440} \times 2\)
   - This component rewards players who survive longer in matches, although the impact on the final rating is relatively small.

5. **Eliminations**:
   - \(\text{Eliminations} \times (0.5 + \text{TDF})\)
   - Eliminations are essential, especially in harder tournaments where they earn more points.

6. **K/D Ratio**:
   - \(\text{K/D Ratio} \times (3 + \text{TDF})\)
   - A high K/D ratio reflects consistent elimination success, and higher tournament difficulties amplify its impact.

### Example:
For an FNCS Global Championship (TDF = 8.0, Scaled Points = 4.0), if a player has:
- **Scaled Points = 200**
- **Wins = 5**
- **Average Place = 10**
- **Average Time Alive = 1200 minutes**
- **Eliminations = 50**
- **K/D Ratio = 2.0**

Substituting into the formula:
\[
\text{Rating} = (200 \times (2 + 8)) + (5 \times (15 + 8)) - (10 \times (0.75 + 8)) + \left( \frac{1200}{1440} \times 2 \right) + (50 \times (0.5 + 8)) + (2.0 \times (3 + 8))
\]

Now, would you like me to compute this example, or clarify any part of the formula?

### 5 Related Questions:
1. How does the TDF specifically impact lower-level tournaments like Cash Cups?
2. Why are wins and eliminations weighted so differently in this formula?
3. How does the formula balance between survival and aggressive play (eliminations vs. average time alive)?
4. Would adjusting the TDF or Scaled Points create fairer ratings across tournaments?
5. How does average placement influence the final rating in comparison to eliminations?

**Tip:** A good K/D ratio can greatly boost your rating, but consistent wins and strong placement tend to have the biggest impact in higher-tier tournaments.
