We won't delve into the distribution calculations (it's not the scope of this document), but we'll summarize how it works:
Basically we divide the total prize pool in 3 groups. Assuming the total prize pool is P, we organize the group as follows:
* Group 1 = 50% of P
* Group 2 = 30% of P
* Group 3 = 20% of P
These percentages are not static and we may change them depending on the tournament.
After the groups division, we apply a Geometric Progression in order to generate the places paid. Each group has a different progression ratio (e.g. Group 1 ratio = 1.3, Group 2 ratio = 1.1, Group 3 ratio = 1.05). We believe this way we make a fair distribution.
