Prize pool
The higher the prize pool, the more preparation & effort players will put in, which should make the event more 'important'

Participants (incl. qualifiers)
The more players that can participate, the more competitive the event is, and if fewer players can participate less can earn points, so this levels the playing field a little.

Invitational (Not currently being used)
By the same logic, if some players cannot even attempt to earn points, it should be worth less to the lucky few who are chosen to participate. Instead, this has been replaced with a requirement to win at least 1 match to earn points
This has been replaced by a requirement to win at least 1 match in a tournament to earn points.

Settings / Restrictions
Tournaments played on only a single map are less accurate for a player's overall skills.
Region restrictions obviously limits who can participate, and reduces the skill level of the competition.
Elo restriction lowers the skill level of the event.
Other restrictions can include poor format, e.g. Bo1s, random seeding etc.

Game Mode? (Not currently being used)
Unsure if this makes sense to include, and currently isn't.
Could be a way to include DM events but unsure if they will continue to happen, while EW might end up being equivalent with RM

Comments
Just participating is not enough to earn points, losing after being invited or in the first round of qualifiers does not earn anything
If there is a qualifier, it takes the points for whatever rounds it replaces. e.g. HC4 Final qualifier round is 17-24th
If there are additional splits (due to Double Elimination/Group stages/GSL) they will be +- 50% of the difference to the next lower level
Eg. if 9-16th are split into 9-12 & 13-16, they would be worth 125/75 respectively instead of 100.
