In the so-called Drop Out contest the number of players are reduced bit by bit every round. Each round the players with the fewest points will be eliminated and the remaining players will move on to the next round. The player with the most points in the final round is the winner of this contest.

The minimum number of players which will be eliminated (Drop Out) is determined in the following way:

• لاعبين = number of players left
• ROUNDS = number of rounds left to play
• DROPOUT = minimum number of players to get eliminated
• DROPOUT = rounding up ( لاعبين / ROUNDS )

Some examples:

• لاعبين = 25
• ROUNDS = 5
• DROPOUT = rounding up ( 25 / 5 ) = 5

• لاعبين = 10
• ROUNDS = 4
• DROPOUT = rounding up ( 10 / 4 ) = 3

• لاعبين = 311
• ROUNDS = 19
• DROPOUT = rounding up ( 311 / 19 ) = 17

In case of equal points the number of players which will be eliminated might be higher that the calculated Drop Out.

Example:

لاعبين = 10 | ROUNDS = 4 | DROPOUT = rounding up ( 10 / 4 ) = 3

As all players on position 6 got 20 points all three players will be eliminated. In case one of them only got 19 points, the other two players would move on to the next round.
