Fixed Prizes with Entry Tickets

Post by BearMetal »

I've looked through the tournament settings, but I haven't been able to find what I want, so I thought I would ask. I'm hosting a tournament for my poker club's kids.
  • There's no entry fee; it's free to enter for them
  • I want fixed payouts ($25, $15, $10, and then $5 for the remaining 7 players)
It looks like I can't do fixed prize money payouts; that it's always a percentage of some pool. If that's true, then is the only way to accomplish this with a fixed prize pool and some weird percentages for the math?
  • 30%, 18%, 10%, 6%, 6%, 6%, 6%, 6%, 6%, 6%
What happens if 2 kids don't show up? I don't want extra money being distributed. Any way I can make it fixed payouts?

The payout structure is not setup for fixed payouts. I'd suggest just awarding payout tickets. For example:

T25, T15, T10, T5, T5, T5, T5, T5, T5, T5

And then after the tournament, manually (or with code) convert those tickets to account chips.
