Question about prize $$$

  In a CC pay tournament where the credit prizes are divided amongst the top 10 (40%, 20%, 10%, etc.), how are winnings divided if less than 10 players enter?

  You still get the percentage, even if it's down to point one of a credit.

  Ok, but if only three players enter a tourney @100c each, the prize pool is 240.  First prize gets 40%, or 96c, second prize gets 20% or 48c, 3rd prize gets 10% or 24c.  That equals 168c.  What happens to the other 72c?

  I'm sure it's scaled up correctly.

  I recall being the only one in CC tourney for 25 Credit entry fee (ya...was a real active club...lol)

  Anyway, purse was 20CR IIRC, and that's what I received.

  Pretty much my situation.  An Unlimited CC Tourney, 18 at Bethpage.  I posted the second score, a 59, and now no one else will play LOL.  There are only three entrants right now, @200c each, so the prize pool is 480.  So, right now 40% of that is 192, meaning I lose 8c for winning the tourney.  But, after the three entrants, there will still be 144c left over.

  40%=192c

  20%=96c

  10%=48c for a total of 336 out of 480.  Perhaps a question for WGT, how are the other 144c dispersed in that case?  And don't tell me WGT gets them, you already got your cut.

  If it remains at 3  players then= (rounded to the nearest whole credit)

  1st=274

  2nd=137

  3rd=69
