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.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.papparico.finance/explore-papparico/tournaments/prize-distribution.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
