Tourney Payout structures

Postby krunchie » Thu Jan 22, 2009 5:05 pm

How are tourney payout structures formulated.

Is there a set rule, particularly the final table.

The reason I ask is this

The Aussie millions pays 2mill for first and 100k for 9th - thats a difference of 20 x

The Wsop main event final table paid aprox 9mill for first and 1mill for 9th thats only a difference of 9x

why the difference, is every tourney worked out differently.
Does anyone know how to make money playing uno vs 6 year olds, its about the only card game i get to play these days.

Will post later. Re structures.

Most of the time it works out to be a sliding percent for 1st and down. However you also get tiers.

So with t9 you might get paid 15k in a 700 runner tourney, but in a 7000 runner tourney you might have t9 paying 100k.

So the left over money then gets spread a lot more into the final table.

E.g 20% of a 7mil prize pool
vs 16.5% of a 70mil prize pool.
Load "*" ,8,1
