payouts by percentage?????????
- Thread starter raypoitra
- Start date
So....using this payout scale percentage with 32 players and a $10 entry, this would be the payouts.
1st - $112
2nd - $80
3rd - $48
4th - $32
5/6 - $16
7/8 - $8
So....you can see that after many matches and getting 7/8th, you would actually lose $2. It's not an exact science with payouts. I would suggest giving 7/8th a $15 or $20 payout and bump up 5/6th a little by trimming some from 1st and second.
You can play around with the payout percentage a wee bit, but remember, if the same people are winning these tournaments your field will get smaller and smaller.
If I could get 32 players, I would charge more than $10 entry and hopefully have a little added money as well. The payout schedule I posted is the same one used by the Midwest 9-Ball Tour, and it seems to work fine.

Doesn't the US Open have 128 players? If so, I would look at the US Open payouts and reverse-engineer their payout structure.
Edit: never mind, US Open is 256 players.

I agree, if the bar adds money, then 7/8th gets a little more along with the rest of the field.
It's tough to get added money for a weekly tourny. If you are holding a big, once a year or so tourney, then that's a different story.
I noticed the US Open actually pays more than 25% of the field. They paid out $500 to 65/96th. Tha's an extra 16k that was taken away from the top 25%.
Yes, and as much as you'd like to give everybody at least their entry fee back, sometimes you can't really do it without added money.
But this guy's talking about 128 players. If that's a weekly tournament, I want to move wherever it is. :smile:

LOL, you and me both. Our weekly tournies, which I hardly play in, usually get 8 to 16 guys. :frown:
Just to put Ray's question in perspective, here are his payouts from last year. He runs a major regional bar-table tournament. I don't know how many players he had last year. But he paid $12,300 to 32 players:
1. 4000
2. 2000
3. 1000
4. 800
5-6. 500
7-8 400
9-12 200
13-16 125
17-24 100
25-32 75
So here is an example of an alternative payout that is less top heavy and is a little more evenly distributed. Gut reactions? Is it important to have that top number be high?

3000 4000
2000 2000
1300 1000
900 800
600 500
400 400
250 200
150 125
110 100
80 75

thanks for the information, we try to keep the 1st place high, this year we will be adding 10k gtd . to the tournament, and we are still seeking sponsors and and fund raising so hopefully when tournament time comes it will be over 10k added. thanks again for the info.

based on true events
what ever you do.....or if you know someone retarted enough to do it......
Don't let anyone run a $50 + quarters 9 ball tournament that costs you almost $100 with the quarters added, not to mention calcutta.
about 35-40 players and only pay out 3 spots..........
the only thing worse than a goof doing stuff like that is when everyone stops coming and there is no more tournament to even play in.
Anyone that spends basically 100+ dollars to get top 4 in a 30-40 field and didn't get squat......WOULD BE FURIOUS
