The prize slot of the tournament is terribly bad. Only the winner??? Mind you it will not encourage players to play. Me alone doubts that there's manipulation in here; that the funds will goes back to the organizer! If you want fair distribution and etc. give it the place winners.
I won two of them yesterday, so they're not rigged. But the way they pay out in Pokercoin is to manually send POKER to your wallet after the tournament, so I can see why they don't want to have multiple payouts. (Also, while there are 12-16 players registered, only three or four actually show up, so winner-take-all isn't unreasonable right now.) I agree that this should be fixed somehow but I understand why it's the way it is right now.
mBTC tournaments seem like they will work normally, though I have't seen one run.
it sounds silly to sit around each tournament and send prize manually, probably they did'nt have the money or skillset to program paymaent automation frontend or whatever it's called
