  I played the week 50 single 9 game,
  and came in 35th place.

  payout rules said I'm intitled to 0.540 percent of my tier, pro tour, which is 800.

  a half percent of 800 is 4, but I only got 1 credit instead of 4, how come?

  who should I turn to with this?

  It's because there were about 50 people tied for 35th place (the last position to earn credits in this tourney. Only top 70 scores -- not necessarily up to 70th place -- win). Add up the percentages from 35-70th place and divide the total among the 50 players tied at 35th and that's what you all got.

  For example: say 2nd place is worth 100 and 3rd is 50; two people tie for 2nd; they both win 75. (no one gets 50; next place is 4th)

  This is how it works in pro golf too. (I think there's a more detailed explanation somewhere on the site.)

  Sorry for the late late laaaate response,
  but I've just stumbled upon this thread again.
  I never did get any response from the mail I sent to wgt,
  so your response was the only explanation I got,
  so a thank you is in order, and sorry it came so late.

  so, Thanks :)
