I will repeat here the comments I have made on another forum.

I think it is generally accepted that our friends across the pond lead the way in structuring tournaments - after all they have far more practice.
Why not just use the Tex Morgan payout structure, which I think was used at the World Series up until recently.

For the record a 100 runner event would break down as follows:

1) 34.00%
2) 18.50%
3) 12.90%
4) 9.50%
5) 7.10%
6) 5.40%
7) 4.20%
3.34%
9) 2.73%
10) 2.33%

Also bear in mind the Morgan stucture provides a sliding scale dependant on the number of players. It is readily available and easy to use.

It would at least provide us a benchmark from which to work and hopefully create a standard throughout Casino's.

And I will repeat my comment back. I personally love this structure!

well thats pretty much what i'd said in the other comments somewhere between 30-40% using common sense and pay 10% of runners   DOH!!!

glad somebody is listening

did someone say something?

[dik9]

Ok there are 10 more options now I have 100 results in

[Colchester Kev]

30% is repeated

[dik9]

becuase people that have already voted 30% might infact want 31% so its a fresher version LOL

[Colchester Kev]

but once you have voted, you cant vote again... and you have 40 votes, not 100... or am i missing something ?

[dik9]

Other forums LOL
How can I change this to 2 votes then?

[Colchester Kev]

Not sure, best ask Ironside,   the thing is, i think you are complicating matters, the original poll was good, and the fact that you put the poll on other sites means that the same people could be voting on each site meaning the result is flawed ... im not being pedantic, just offering my view.

[RED-DOG]

No, that woudnt flaw the result
