Mine: 75 / 43 / 25 / 11 / -1 / -12 / -22 / -31 / -40 / -48
If the numbers of points is to low, the easiest way to fix it is to just multiply everything with some percentage (based on gamesize of course  ).

I appreciate the interest and suggestions. Truth be told, I was trying to find a nice spot between what Geo suggested and what Grandpa Kim would like to see. But, looking at your spread(s), I think it looks a bit better over all as my exponential stuff seems to create too wide of a spread.
So, if I may ask, how about a detailed math example of your approach for a 4-person game where all players have 1000 points (where we all know 16 points is the gain/loss)? I just want to make sure I understand it.
