I'm still fuzzy on multiplayer scoring for Swiss Style tournaments. I was told that in a 4-player game. where the game is won before the end of the round, that the first place winner scores 3 points and the second place finisher scores 1 point. But, this is only true if there are more than three players. Is this also true for 5 players, or are there additional points beyond that?

I trust the person that told me, but I want to know where this information is listed since I have never seen it before. I may have simply overlooked the information. Reyzen always had the Tournament Tracker program so I never had to think about it, but now I'm down here in Florida with a computer that doesn't have Excel.

Help.....   

The number of points = the number of people playing.  Thus, 3-0-0, 3-1-0-0, 3-2-0-0-0 (or similar, depending on ties).

[edit] Stamp wins again, the spreadsheet has a very detailed breakdown.  Use that.

Yes.  You'll see it when you open the file -- the "scoring" tab has a chart of how scoring works in multiplayer, for any number of players and possible scoring combinations.
