Platzierung

German to English Other Sports / Fitness / Recreation
Ich weiss, die Frage ist bereits gestellt und beantwort worden, aber das hilft mir nicht weiter. Ich hänge bei der Fomulierung *eine Platzierung zwischen*.

Aus einem Sponsorvertrag:
Bei erreichen einer Platzierung zwischen 1-5 beträgt das Fixum der 0.000,- Euro, bei einer Platzierung zwischen 6-10 beträgt das Fixum 0.000,- Euro und bei einer Platzierung zwischen 11-20 wird das Fixum der 0.000,- Euro betragen.

Danke!
Votes to reclassify question as PRO/non-PRO:

Non-PRO (1): Francis Lee (X)

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.

How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:

An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)

A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).

Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.

When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.

* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

gfish (asker) Oct 30, 2007:
Stimmt. Sorry. Also nochmal. Disziplin: Skifahren. Platzierung: Gesamtplatzierung im Weltcup.
Francis Lee (X) Oct 30, 2007:
Sorry, Angelika, but that doesn't answer my question re. the context, i.e. what kind of "Platzierung" where. Rankings are not the same at all as actual positions in an ongoing competition.
gfish (asker) Oct 30, 2007:
Es bezieht sich auf die Gesamtplatzierung im Weltcup.
gfish (asker) Oct 30, 2007:
Meine eigene Idee war schon auch "ranking between" aber Holy Google gibt mir im Zshg. mit "race" nur wenig vernünftiges ...
Trudy Peters Oct 30, 2007:
Does this refer to one particular event or is it cumulative, like over a season or a tournament?
gfish (asker) Oct 30, 2007:
Wie bereits geschrieben: Context = Sponsovertrag. Readership = der Sportler der den Vertrag erhält. Und vermutlich sein/ihr Manager.
Francis Lee (X) Oct 30, 2007:
Context/readership? What are your thoughts so far?

position

If the sponsored skier reaches positions 1 to 5 in the World Cup skiing rankings, (s)he will receive X €; for positions 6 to 10, Y €; and for positions 11 to 20, Z €.

That's how I'd suggest it is handled.
Peer comment(s):

agree Cilian O'Tuama : or maybe "... finishes in the first/top 5 ..." (continuing as you suggest)

German term (edited): Platzierung unter den ersten 5

in the top 5

if it's the Gesamtwertung, I reckon you can safely use "top 5" (as opposed to just "first 5", which might be misinterpreted as being the first 5 in the last race).

Sth. like:
"The top 5 will receive X, 6-10 will receive..."

Just another suggestion, but not lucrative if you're being paid by the target word.
