    Hi - this is because it is a Bounty Hunter tournament.

    Don't forget that there is twice the amount shown here in prizes (the other half being bounties)

    Thanks

    People will generally end up in profit with the bounties they have earned (as will some people who don't actually 'cash'). What would you suggest?

    If people support this, we'll certainly look at changing.

    What do other people think please?

    It's always a balance between paying more people less or paying less people more (especially in Bounty Hunters where half the prizes are bounties).

    I think theres a case for using different payout structures for different tournys (as always, people can't complain if they have a choice)

    I think buy ins of £10 and over, should have less places paid.

    For the lower £1/2/3 buy in tournaments, full mainly of beginners, paying more places (the current structure) is fine.

    There are exceptions to both, like beginners who sat into big events etc etc, but on the whole, we really need to look at making sure a cash is significant.

    To do that you could maybe even take some away from the winner, runner up, and third, pay a few less places, and squeeze the pay outs abit.

    For a 100 BH with 101 runners, pay 15, take 2% off 1st 2nd 3rd, and squeeze it abit.

    Im just guessing, why not post 3/4/5 alternative structures for a hypothetical event and run a poll on what players would prefer?

    This is my main point, cashing for half of the buy in is pointless even though people will probably make money from bounties.
