  In the Uneven legend Merion there are about 30 players who made the cut, even lees did finish the tournament

  I was wondering : if a tournament has pay out rules for 70 players, but less players do qualify and made the cut, what happens to the rest of the credits?

  Good question...additionally if WGT responds-I posted the following question under the Merion Legends Thread...

   

  There were 78 posted scores for the qualifier...cut was top 50%...why did only 28 players advance?

   

  Edit:

   

  Odd...now I see 62 posted scores only...oh well.

  FAQ Quote:

  "What are the payout rules if fewer than 70 players are entered?

  If there are fewer than 70 players entered in a tier, the payout rules are as follows:

  • Money (or credits) will be paid out as normal to the winners as if there were 70 people in the tier.
  • For each position that doesn't exist, the money (or credits) will be put into a pool as unawarded.
  • Total up the money that was awarded.
  • Calculate the percentage of the money each person received that was awarded.
  • Give each person that percentage of the unawarded pool.

  The entire tournament purse will be paid out regardless of how many entrants there are in the tournament."
