Why these numbers you ask?
1 = 6720 because it is slightly more than 50% of total prize pot.
2 = 3350 because it is just about 1/2 of 1st.
3 = 2200 because it deserves more than twice that of 4th.
4 = 1050 because it deserves about 1/2 that of 3rd.
5 = 0 because in a field of only 37 entrants you're not worthy of anything more than a slap on the back, and a kick in the ass for a job well done.
:toast:
I know that some already liked try³ (numbers by J-man)'s suggestion, but I really strongly prefer gskiman's numbers. By the way, yep, top 4 is fine with me as well.

About the numbers/percentages, look carefully below in try³/J-Man suggestion:

6,500
3,320
2,000
1,500


Notice how 3rd place and 4th place are only $500 difference in a contest where 3rd of 37 versus 4th of 37 are close in prize amounts.

If there is a clear-cut winner, with 2nd through 4th places hotly contested-- those who fail to get 2nd place would not care whether they make 3rd or 4th place (of course everyone wants the extra $500).

That's why I prefer gskiman's line of reasoning in having the top 4 prizes essentially halved as each place is paid out.

I recommend we make a new poll with the 2 Options, and the simple majority wins since some people already liked the first option without seeing the 2nd option.

Cheers,

Well BECAUSE 1st through 4th might be hotly contested, I am opposed to giving first ANYMORE than 50% of the pool. It would suck to lose out by 1 game or less than 1 game due to ties and have that much of a difference between 1st and 2nd.

Why not give 5th just $500? That way we can pay 5 places, but not take alot out of first. Maybe you could give 5th just $300

If we are still voting, my vote goes to 4 places......and really any one of the 4 player breakdowns suggested so far look fine to me.

Wow, I am suprised at how many people are voting for 4 places! You guys are out for blood! I was just looking for $300-500 for 5th, since it will be real close in the end.

This is like a poker tournament where only 9% of the field gets paid.


But journey, maybe make a vote first for whether we pay 4 teams or 5, then we could vote on the payout %'s. It looks like 4 places will win anyway, but at least everyone would vote hopefully

How about this? It is almost exactly like Journey's number above, and it will make the few guys here who voted for 5 places happy.

6,400
3,200
2,000
1,400
400 for fifth


$20 out of the prize pool for Journey to send out a few more free pizzas to posters on this site.



That is still a SHITLOAD of money for the top 2 places! I would think that everyone could agree to giving 5th place such a small prize. It doesnt take much out of the pool. No reason to be greedy guys

What is the final word on payouts. I am fine with either one. Maybe 5th could get their money back.

We are still going by the above prize payouts?


Or will we pay something for 5th, maybe like $300-500?

Post #30 indicates that the final prize pool was decided upon by JMan a month ago. I can't see any reason to change that now.

Indeed. "Final" means final ... unless I happen to finish in 5th place. Then it means 'subject to a woman's prerogative to change her mind.'
