 The formula for designating a relayer is as follows:
 
 * The list of all registered relayers is retrieved from the Relayer Registry smart contract.
-* The relayers are then sorted by cheapest fee.
-* A pool of the cheapest 30% of relayers is selected.
-* From this pool the relayer is randomly picked, weighted by the TORN stake in Registry.
+* For each relayer, calculate a score based on its stacked TORN and its fee. The higher the stake, the higher the score is; the higher the fee, the lower the score is. For Ethereum mainnet, the formula used to calculate the score is `stake * [1 - 25*(fee-0.33)^2]`; for sidechains, the formula is `stake * [1 - 11.89*(fee-0.01)^2]`.
+* Then randomly pick a relayer, weighted by its calculated score.
