Their ruling was to give me my 17 back, then give all 4 players their 12 back. This seemed a bit odd to me, seeing as seats 3 and 6 had folded to my bet. I thought maybe my 17 would come back then seat 10 and I would split the 48 in there.

This seems odd to me too.

You get your 17 back regardless. That's a no-brainer.

After that, splitting the rest of the money between you and Seat 10 comes the closest to making a fair decision. Why would Seat 3 or Seat 6 get the money? It's clear that after they intentionally and knowingly folded, they had a 0% chance of winning the pot... why should they get any chips back?

I don't know about the rules on the books, but I've often heard that the floorpeople are supposed to make decisions that best reflect the integrity of the game, and giving chips to someone who had no chance of winning them doesn't seem to do that.
