This math is OK, even though the first point says one seat will be awarded for every eight entries, which isn't exactly correct:

CPC Qualifier $30 + $3

When: Daily @ 8:10 PM EST
Format: NL Hold'em
Buy-in: $30 + $3

* One seat in the CPC Satellite $200 + $15 tournament will be awarded for every eight entries.
* The remaining money will be awarded to the next three highest finishers on a 50%, 30%, 20% ratio. For example, if there are 100 entries, the prize pool breakdown will be as follows: 1st place - 13th place = Seat, 14th place =$102.5, 15th = $61.5, 16th = $41.

But then there are these fiasco's.
In this first one, $275 is unaccounted for in their example.

CPC SPECIAL Qualifier $90 + $9

When: Monday, Wednesday, Friday & Saturday @ 11 PM EST
Format: NL Hold'em
Buy-in: $90 + $9

* One seat in the CPC SPECIAL $800 + $50 will be awarded for every ten entries.
* The remaining money will be awarded to the next three highest finishers on a 50%, 30%, 20% ratio. For example, if there are 55 entries, the prize pool breakdown will be as follows: 1st place - 5th place = Seat, 6th place =$212.5, 7th = $127.5, 8th = $85.

Then, in this example, the prize pool is $100, but they pay out $106.

CPC SPECIAL Sub-Qualifier $10 + $1

When: Available 24/7

* The 1st place will win an entry into the CPC SPECIAL Qualifier $90 + $9 tournament.
* The 2nd place gets $7.

WTF PARTY!?!?
Should I assume their software is smarter than whoever wrote these examples?
Argh.
