PRIZE MONEY BREAKDOWN

|Prize Breakdown: Single Elimination|
|Prize Breakdown: Double Elimination|
|Prize Distribution| |Respect to Winners|

The breakdown of the prize money is up to the organizer, as long as the breakdown is posted before the start of the tournament or announced in the flyers. It should be noted that the prize breakdown of a single elimination format is different from a double elimination format.

As shown in the example below, the single elimination format comes in multiples of 1 – 2 – 4 – 8 – 16 – 32. Therefore, prizes are for the champion, 2nd place, joint 3rd and 4th (top 4), joint 5th to 8th (top 8), joint 9th to 16th (top 16) and joint 17th to 32nd (top 32).

The breakdown in a double elimination format are for the champion, 2nd place, 3rd place, 4th place, joint 5th and 6th; joint 7th and 8th; joint 9th to 12th and joint 13th to 16th places.

It should be noted that the 2nd placer’s money is one-half the champion’s and the joint 3rd and 4th placers are one-half the money of the 2nd placer and so forth. This breakdown is the most ideal prize breakdown and only serves as a guide. In a lot of instances, the top 4 breakdown is normally followed and the prizes for joint 5th to 8th placers are usually lower than one-half the joint 3rd and 4th placers. Usually the lowest prize is money back from the entry fee.

The above examples are actual money payoffs in a double elimination format tournament. Notice the wide variation in money distribution. In the first example, 60% of the money is divided to the top three finishers whereas the second example shows 82% distribution to the top three finishers. The prize distribution in a double elimination format is a little bit tricky compared to a single elimination format. Again, it is up to the organizer to determine the prize breakdown in a double elimination format and the above serves as a good guide.
 
 
   
Prize Distribution  
Often overlooked, the organizer should facilitate easy distribution of the prize money to the winners. In the doubles event, prepare two envelopes for both winners. We often see doubles winners receiving a single cash envelope and looking for change to divide their winnings. For example, a doubles team wins P1,000 and is given a P1,000 bill. They still have to change the P1,000 between themselves. Why not prepare two envelopes of P500 each and let the winners be on their way home? Provide some extra service to darters.
 
 
   
Respect to Winners  
Time and again we have seen organizers deduct cash winnings from players that should be deducted from their managers or somebody else. Refrain from deducting any amount without the consent of the winner. Always give proper respect for winners and to darters.
