Enter the total number of players and the percentage of players advancing to the next stage into the calculator to determine the Top Cut; this calculator can also evaluate any of the variables given the others are known.

Top Cut Formula

The following formula is used to calculate the Top Cut in a tournament:

Top Cut = (N * P) / 100

Variables:

  • Top Cut is the number of players advancing to the next stage of the tournament
  • N is the total number of players in the tournament
  • P is the percentage of players advancing to the next stage

To calculate the Top Cut, multiply the total number of players in the tournament by the percentage of players advancing to the next stage, and divide the result by 100.

What is a Top Cut?

A top cut refers to a cut of meat, particularly beef, that comes from the upper portion of the animal, specifically the top sirloin. This cut is known for its tenderness, juiciness, and rich flavor, making it a popular choice for grilling and roasting. The top cut is also leaner than other cuts, making it a healthier option for those watching their fat intake. In addition to beef, the term “top cut” can also refer to the best or highest quality cut of other types of meat, such as pork or lamb. In a broader context, “top cut” can also refer to the best or most desirable portion of something.

How to Calculate Top Cut?
