Waller, you mentioned the payouts for cancelled tournies. A few points:
1) If you were still in a Bounty Hunter MTT when the MTTs were paused and settled, the amount which popped up will not be the full refund amount. All head prizes accumulated, including your own, appears to have been added as well and was not part of the amount stated in the pop up.
2) Formula for settlements of cancelled MTTs: Please read here: Link
That is the policy from the help pages. I can't copy and paste the whole page but I think this exert covers the majority of people for the main and other MTTs going on at the time of the crash:
The tournament has started but the money has not yet been reached
If the tournament has started and the money has not yet been reached, then the tournament will be settled as follows:
e.g.
You are playing in a £9 + £1 tournament with 500 players, a starting chipstack of 3,000 and a total prize pool of £4,500 which pays the top 60 places.
The tournament is settled when there are 100 players remaining and you have a chip stack of 80,000 your returns would be calculated as follows:
Prize pool to be divided equally: £4500 / 2 = £2250
Prize pool to be divided based on chip count: £4500 / 2 £2250
Entry fee refunded = £1
Share in equally divided money: £2250/100 = £22.50
Share based on chip count: £2250 x (80,000/1,500,000) = £119.99
Total refund = £143.49
This rule will be applied to all scheduled tournaments unless the total number of players left in the tournament is equal to or less than the declared number of paid places for that particular tournament.
The tournament has started and all remaining players are in the paid places
If the tournament has started and all remaining players are now in paid places then the tournament will be settled as follows:
e.g.
You are playing in a £9 + £1 tournament with 500 players, a starting chipstack of 3,000 and a total prize pool of £4,500 which pays the top 60 places.
The tournament is settled when there are 30 players remaining, the minimum prize yet to be awarded is £29.25 and you have a chip stack of 150,000 your returns would be calculated as follows:
Prize pool to be divided equally: £29.25 x 30 = £877.50
Prize pool still to be awarded: £3870 (£630 already paid out to players placed 31-60)
Prize pool to be divided based on chip count: £3870 - £877.50 = £2992.50
Entry fee refunded = £1
Your minimum prize share = £29.25
Share based on chip count: £2992.5 x (150,000/1,500,000) = £299.25
Total refund due = £329.50
Players placed 31 – 60 receive their payout as normal but not their fees.
Bounty Hunter Tournaments
A bounty hunter scheduled tournament which has been settled early due to a server issue will follow all of the rules listed above, with the following additions:
e.g
You are playing in a £9 + £1 Bounty Hunter tournament with 500 players, a starting chipstack of 3,000 and a total prize pool of £4,500 (Split 50/50 between heads & cash prizes) which pays the top 60 places.
The tournament is settled when there are 30 players remaining, the minimum prize yet to be awarded is £14.625, you have a chip stack of 150,000, your head value is £20 and you have currently collected £40 in Heads. Your returns would be calculated as follows:
Cash Prize pool to be divided equally: £14.625 x 30 = £438.75
Cash Prize pool still to be awarded: £1935 (£315 already paid out to players placed 31-60)
Cash Prize pool to be divided based on chip count: £1935 - £438.75 = £1496.25
Entry fee refunded = £1
Banked funds from heads collected = £40
Current head value = £20 Minimum prize share = £14.625
Share based on chip count: £1496.25 x (150,000/1,500,000) = £149.625
Total refund due = £225.25
And this adds to another point. Not all My Accounts seem to be up to full working snuff yet then. So if anyone has a problem with their one, consider giving it a bit and checking again.
Fair play, proper ballache for you and you don't even have to give your time here. I respect that, But I had more chips, we both had no heads, had been on same table from the off and he gets refunded more............no logic in that whatsoever....just something for ppl to think about who were maybe playing for more money
The reason i didn't complain about that one was because i thought it would be just a one off.
IMO everyone should wait till tomorrow to check final amounts, just an opinion though, not a fact.
@ mattbates......sorry but we don't all win 4 figure sums for fun, so this crash may have a bigger impact on our balance than yours.......best to clear things up
Maybe read back your posts in the morning and see if they were in fact helpful to getting things cleared up as you put it. I have had a similar thing happen on other sites as well so it can happen on other sites. Things like this don't happen often and sky have tried to resolve things as quick as they can. Did they get everything 100% correct, no it doesn't seem like they did but they have been trying to resolve things so if people have queries they should raise them and allow sky some time to resolve them.
