5th = 0
4th = 0
3rd = 0
2nd = 3.5K
1st = 6.5K
If the buy-in is 10K then the prizepool would be 50K with the 5 entrants with 32.5K going to 1st place and 17.5K to 2nd. The payouts for a tourney are displayed on the General tab after you click the Options button in the table window. Prior to starting, it just shows the general payout as I wrote in my previous message. After it starts, the exact chip payouts are shown once the number of entrants is known.
and, should there be a player disconnect ( weather, whatever ) they are dropped from the terney - eventually, correct?
They keep posting blinds and auto-folding until they get blinded out. Or if they return before then, they can continue playing.
and, what happens in the event of a 'server' disconnect ( the host PC, not pokermavens.net, under conditions same as above, shudder ) ?
If your server dies, you'll need to manually refund the buy-ins when you restart as I don't currently have any crash protection (that's on my to-do list). You can look at your hand history files to see who was playing at the time.
