Default Need help with formula

Ok this is for tournament results, I have my first page with about 70 rows of
players, each row has their name, address, tournament number, etc. My last
column is a pull down cell (validation) with numbers 1-10 representing 1st -
10th place finish. The tournament director will only pull down and select
1st through 10th for only those people who finish in top 10.

Ok on second page I have a table for those top 10 with a column for name,
and another for amount of money earned for that finish in order from 1st to
10th place.

What I need is a formula that will search the first page for only those with
a number (1-10) in the finish column and then transfer that name to the
second page and put them in order 1-10th place to match the order of my prize
money.

This is what i was trying to use, but am having problems with it:

=INDEX(REGISTRATION!A$15:A$94,SMALL(IF(REGISTRATIO N!I$15:I$94="1",ROW(A$15:A$94)-MIN(ROW(A$15:A$94))+1),ROWS($1:1)))

Anybody have any ideas, thank you

Remove the quote around 1
"1" should be 1 (if it a TRUE value)

cell it worked and gave me the persons name, however when i removed the
quotes from the 2 in the 2nd place cell underneith, it still gives me a NUM

After you edit your formula make sure you do ctrl+shift+enter, not just enter

Yep I did that, still not working, this formula was working when the 1-10 was
just a "YES" for finishing in the top 10, then i decided my validation
options should be 1-10 instead of just YES, so that it would copy the names
over in order of finish, so I thought I could use same formula, just replace
"YES" with the numbers 1-10...but its not working, and i did try
CTRL+SHFT=ENTER...any other ideas as to what might be wrong. Thanks again.
