Do you think this tournament is a joke?
They supposed to pay 990 players, as shown in the graph bellow. (Usually around this number, sometimes more, sometimes less)
When this happens they are supposed to pay place 990 about: 0.023% of the prizepool. Resulting on a value they can't even calculate. It would be $0,0023
As result of this ridiculous values, they end up paying just 90 places.
Place 90 is the first one that in reality should get 1,14 cents. But pokerstars just round this at 1 cent.
What happens with the remainder 0,14 cents? Well, they go adding to the first place prices. And it ends up looking something like this.
First place should get about $1,52, but as first place gets all the remainders of the prizes that PS can't pay, they end up winning $5,15 (So 51,5% of the prizepool)
I just don't understand what's the point of this tournament. I know (or at least I think) nobody forces Pokerstars to run this freerolls. But $10 as a prizepool on a tournament where about 7000 player entry to play it... To me sounds like a joke. It would be better for them to cancel this ridiculous tournament, or increase the prizepool, or do something different, don't know what. But to me, looks like a joke.
