Ahh right.
So there's not that much participation during the tournament but that's still a good start for them.
Maybe they need to make a louder noise next time if they will make another so that more participants will be interested on this event they'll make.
It's worth noting that the larger the prize pool in such free tournaments, the more likely it is that it will attract the attention of more users. Although for those who participate, it's better to have less competition in the tournament, because in this case, it's easier to accumulate chips and compete for prizes in the final stage of the tournament.
That's right.
It attracts more poker players to get into these free tournaments when there is a high prize. But I think that even with less, as long as it's managed by a known person.
The crowd will flock and join it and so, informing the public about it that it's gonna happen is also important. And so for the early participation when they're not that much, it had given them higher chance of winning it.
