Prize Distribution Report

The output from the Reports>Show Prize Distribution operation is a Report Window which shows how the money is distributed among different players (showing only those that win something). An example is

Name	Rate	Score	Prize	For
Player0002	2427	9.5	2000.00	1st

Player0005	2295	8.0	1300.00	1st U2400

Player0001	2525	8.0	1000.00	2nd

Player0018	2100	7.5	700.00	2nd U2400

Player0006	2262	7.0	266.67	3rd
Player0007	2244	7.0	266.67	4th
Player0023	2035	7.0	266.67

which distributes this prize fund

Value	Upper	Description
2000		1st
1000		2nd
500		3rd
300		4th
1300	2400	1st U2400
700	2400	2nd U2400

Any set of players who are grouped together are splitting the prizes described. Here there is a three-way tie at 7.0 for the 3rd and 4th prizes so they get even splits of 500+300. Where there are players with the same score who are in different "groups", this shows how each earns a different set of prizes. In this case, Player0005 and Player0001 tied at 8.0 points. The two highest prizes available to them are the 2nd ($1000) and, for Player0005, the 1st U2400 ($1300). The average would be $1150, but Player0005 does better by taking just the U2400 money. So Player0005 has a separate line showing $1300 for the 1st U2400, while Player0001 has a separate line showing $1000 for the 2nd prize.
