I will propose to draw the lottery 30 mins before the start of the big games. OK?
Yes, sure, though I am not involved, so don't really have a say. But if you see no one opposing this idea, just do it at that time, I will watch

Here are the prizes I calculated on top of the BIG BTC ticket, hope this is correct.
The Chips Prizes for Grand Final Place | Sponsored by SwC | From Chips Pool |

The prizes for small final will be 5,000/3,000/2,000 for the Top3 as always.
When everything is said and done (and sent^^) 237,000 chips were paid out in total in this series.
Series 1: 310,000
Series 2: 224,000
Series 3: 257,600
15.38 players joined the tournaments on average in this series. We "lost" four regular players (figmentofmyass, SyGambler, BitcoinGirlClub, myself) from the series before and two new (seek3r, famososMuertos) joined for this series. I might give my comeback for a possible 5th series and figment too I guess. That would make it around ~19 regular players, which is a good number to get two tables full every Sunday.
