Qualifiers To Bigger By In Tournaments.

Let me begin by stating that I understand what happened after investigating after it happened.I signed in to play a $3+.40 qualifier to a $20+2 MTT. When I signed up it showed there were 22 entries and that 5 would cash. I end up finishing 4th and receive zero. I realize it wouldn't have been big money anyway, but if the softwares says that 5 are going to cash, then that is what should happen. I understand after looking at the general payout page, not the one you see when checking out the tournament it was the one that you have to click on about three different pages to get to, that the $66 entries paid back the 3 $20+2 spots and that there was no other money to pay out. Why can't the software update it correctly instead of saying 5 will cash when it is actually 3?

Just wanted to bump this up. FCP Info, is there anything that can be done as far as listing how many gets paid in the downloaded version where you are actually signing up for these tournaments? Not a huge deal, but with it being a computer program, I would think it could be changed to reflect reality. Just glad it was a cheap tournament.

Hi EStormOk, it is a quirk in the software that when the prize pool for a qualifier tournament exactly covers an exact number of tickets that it'll show those last 2 spots as being paid when they are paid nothing.What the software does is take the prize pool, take out the tickets and then pay the next 2 spots 70% and 30% of the remaining money. In your case there was $0 remaining. You're correct that it is confusing and misleading.You should always check the the tournament info browser to show the exact payouts.
