Default posting points relating to rank

You need to provide the details on the entire point distribution. Also, how
should ties (if possible) be handled?

Typically, ties split the pool. For example...

1st place = 100 pts
2nd place = 75 pts

If there are 2 tied for 1st place they each recieve 100+75/2 = 87.5 pts

I am trying to allocate points related to finishing position.
I have used "RANK" to determine finishing position.
Example:
IF D1=1 then D2=25
IF D1=2 then D2=20
IF D1=3 then D2=17
IF D1=4 then D2=15
etc. down to position 20 approx
