I saw some new unknown names in Superbru, so decided to check the main thread to know who they are and this caught my eye.
Distribution of the prize
Top 3 wins
1st - 50% of prize pool
2nd - 30% of prize pool
3rd - 20% of prize pool
More than one winner in the same category share the prize equally.
I think this rule is not needed and it's contradictory IMO.
Why contradictory? Let's say if 2 of them take 1st position, as per this rule both share the 50% prize ie. 25% each which is less than the 2nd positions prize.
Instead, it should have been like 2 person share 50%+30% ie. 40% for both and the 3rd person takes 20%. If it's 3 or more took the 1st place, then the entire prize pool is split among them.
Why not needed? Because, Superbru itself offers a tie breaker policy.
Tie breaking
In the event of points ties on a leaderboard, position is allocated on the basis of higher WP total, then the higher MP total, then lower TDM. TDM is Total Distance from Margin: the sum of the differences between a player's margin predictions and the actual margins. Example: Where Thrashing = 4, Easy = 3, Comfortable = 2, Narrow = 1: if you picked Easy (3) and the result was Narrow (1), your TDM for that match would be 3 - 1 = 2. Lower is better.
So I think we don't need the rule mentioned in the main thread and we could follow the tie breaker policy of Superbru.
I am not sure if this was already discussed in the thread, as I didn't go through it all
I would like to know who are the BTT users behind - maidak, SwordsRex & kpk333
