Prize Policy
Prizes scale up if entries exceed 40 players. If the tournament advertises a $2,000 prize pool based on 40 entries, the organizer is committed to paying at least 50% of that amount, or $1,000, if entries fall below 40. The prize pool may increase proportionally with more than 40 entries.
