Tournament Payouts. The Big Question. Whats the Most Popular.
« on: December 04, 2008, 08:26:44 pm »
Ok lets vote, so we can all see what payout is most popular among everyone.  This will help me decide, and other tournament organizers what they need to plan for on cash payouts.

It's really hard to say honestly. 2 tier and 3 tier are totally different animals and depend on turnout. The larger your sign-ups you can move into a 3 tier or greater breakdown. If I had 100 individual contestants and had only 2 prizes then it would seem a bit of a sham. But if those same 100 people were divided into 25 teams of 4 players each then a 2 tier prize would be more acceptable. Just like any major tournament that has thousands of contestants it's not unheard of to have placings up to the hundreds.

But for a small tournament with 30 players or less then go for 2 tier. Anything more I personally would start considering 3 tier.

Most communities standards are 60/30/10 - as a result I've always ran that as the pot breakdown for events I've held.

I say just split the pot between first and second, if you get third then best of luck next time. I dont really care about what ratio is used.
