The $100 GTD tournament says that the prize pool is $76.50. Is this a scam, or am I missing something? I noticed the same issue on the newbie $1K guarantee. I thought that if there are less money in the prize pool, then there would be a $23.50 overlay which would be matched by ACR to get a $100 prize pool. Does this happen on all the tournaments? Maybe guarantee doesn't mean guarantee anymore?

I think if you manually add up the pay-outs starting at the $0.26 pay-out for position 90 and finishing at the $18.75 for position 1. You will find the total is $100 not $76.50. I added the top pay-outs 1-18 and then went and started adding in the pay-outs but stopped while I was still in the .$026 pay-out zone because the total was already over $76.50 so I assume the total would be $100 if I had continued adding.

Can a mod close this thread, haha. I just learned how to do math, and even though the prize pool is less than the guarantee, the payouts match the guarantee. Thanks smallfrie!

It might help someone else with the same question. ACR should really work on that total that they post in the lobby to actually show the correct pay-out total. Manually adding just because of their incorrect total in the lobby is a pain.
