Seems like the pot this year is gonna be distributed in a diferent way right? I mean less for the top spot and a little bit more for the players between 6 to 10.
Yes. I personally prefer to do it in fixed amounts and have higher percentage for first place but jeremypwr wanted to do it this way and also send the sponsorship at the end of the season so we couldn't really do it the old way with prizes allocated in bitcoin amounts.
A relatively small reward for the highest weekly cap might lead to bottom of the table teams losing interest midway throughout the competition, but other than that I like the distribution.
Almost 20% of the pool gets rewarded, and even a 10th place finish leads to a very nice reward.
Just 1 question though @hilariousandco - I assume that the sponsorship money will be transferred to BTC as soon as it's received, correct?
The weekly cap has always been a small amount
, usually whatever was left in the pot. The sponsorship is just 10k in bitcoin this time and will be distributed at the end of the tournament.
