patience factor and skill level

Muddguts

I've seen many tourney's listing these two stats. What do they mean and how are they calculated?

The higher the patience factor the less likely the tournament will turn into a bingofest. Te skill level has a max value of 6.

I forget who but I got a spreadsheet emailed to me with this. It takes starting stack, length of blinds and rebuy or no rebuy into the calculations.

Pretty funny, I've always wondered about this too. After I saw your thread I did a google search and looky what I found:

Anyhoo, I was surprised Poker Terms - Online Poker Lingo Dictionary didn't have it listed.

There also was a spreadsheet floating around that took field size into consideration as well but I'm not sure where I found it at one point. I lost my copy and then haven't seen it since.

I have a link to the spreadsheet at home. Will post the link later today.
