What happens when party crashes and your in a sit and go?

[Eihli]

Do they divide the prize money according to the chip stacks left?

Say I have 3300 chips... Do I get 33% of the prize pool?

[Cubswin]

Bend over, grap your ankles because i'm sure they are going to give 'it' to you.

[zooey]

chips stacks are irrelevant.

Payout = 10*(buy-in + fees)/(number left)

eg crash at $33 with 7 left: 330/7 = $47

Best,

Zooey

[Drunk Bob]

What if it just started are you out the 10% fee?

[Pensive Gerbil]

I was in a $25 PPM satellite with an above average stack when I lost connection. Was able to exit the program and log back on, but could not get back to the table. Now I can't logon at all.

That's the suck. I had first place in my hand damnit. I'll bet the 93 people left in the 200+20 NL are going ape.

[Cubswin]

Not the short stacks [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

[zooey]

no, they always have returned the fees.

I'll bet the 93 people left in the 200+20 NL are going ape.

Actually, the 55-60 who have less than average chips would probably be happy about it.

I hate this rule, but I have to laugh that it comes up here about four times a week and still nobody knows it until it happens to them.

Yeah, except for when they don't enforce the rule. I was in a PP-multi 10 days ago during the "Fold to any bet" software upgrade fiasco, and they restarted a tourney that was down for 70 minutes - many of the tables had players who never came back, people stole their blinds, and the whole thing was rather unfair. I expected the rule to be enforced, but they for some reason let the re-started results stand. I complained on email and live chat, to no fruition.

It really is annoying to play there, but good lord are the low-limit NL live games soft. I just keep having to remind myself of it...
