    I keep track of every tourney I play on a spreadsheet. Obv the tourney buyin is an important stat.

    I can't just consider the Turbo Takedown a freeroll because it costs 3,000 FPPs and I know that FPPs are somehow = to an actual dollar amount.

    How do I calculate this amount?

    puely looking at just the tourny, take $1 million dollars and divide it by the total number of entrants

    but like if the tourny gets a ton of ppl the value of the fpps goes down and you may have been able to get better value for the fpps spending it on say a sunday mill ticket so ur opertunity cost could be higher than the formula i gave so u could set like a cap at what ur willing to say it costs you (hope that was clear)

    I looked at it in terms of a step free roll which is what I normally use my points for. 500 fpp = $7.50 step 1 buy-in so you can call it $45.

    1FPP = $.016 cents.

    3000 FPPs x $.016 cents = $48.00

    ok this is what im talking about. but isn't an FPP's worth dependent on status level?

    like, isn't a silverstar's FPP worth less than a supernova's?

    FPP's are all worth exactly the same, although there is some stuff that you can only buy as a higher ranking player. All that really changes is the rate at which you earn them. 0.016c is a good benchmark. Hope this helps. fpppro.com has a ton of info about the best value for FPPs, etc
