Okie Dokie.
This work for all games. For easy use:
A: Calculate the points for the knocked out player towards the average of the remaining players
B: Multiply with the Square root of the number of remaining players.
C: Distribute the winning points evenly between the remaining players.
D: Repeat until game over.
Nothing to it.

Example 4 (1000 points) players:
Loosing player (4th in example) = 1 loss * Root (3) = - 28 points
Second Last (3rd) gets 1/3 rd of the points from the loosing player + (- ?) 1 loss * Root (2) = -14 points
Third Last (2nd) gets 1/3 rd from the looser, + ½ from 3rd + (-?) 1 loss = 5 points
Winner gets 1/3 rd from the looser, + ½ from 3rd + 1 win = 36 points

Should be an easy formula in here, but its been 20 + years since I’ve done any math so I have no idea how to write it down
