Dear [LanterneRouge],
Tournament #160529644 has been cancelled due to technical reasons.
When a tournament is cancelled before players are in the money, we refund each player their tournament fee, and then divide up the prize pool based on the following formula:
- 50% of the award pool distributed evenly between remaining players
- 50% of the award pool distributed proportionally according to the chip count
At the time of cancellation there were 710 players remaining, and your chip count was 3,660.00. Total chips in play were 5,940,000.00.
Prize pool to be divided equally: $4,000.00 / 2 = $2,000.00
Prize pool to be divided based on chip count: $4,000.00 / 2 = $2,000.00
Your share in money equally divided: $2,000.00 / 710 = $2.81
Your share based on chip count: $2,000.00 * (3,660.00 / 5,940,000.00) = $1.23
Your entry fee refunded: $0.20 Total money refunded to your account: $4.25

Edit... on now... time to look for overlay tourneys... only 27k people on the site
Gave up last night...find any good overlays?
No.. unfortunately... only thing I found was a $2 or $100 (2x Chance) with a small overlay, but didn't want to stay up till 5am playing.
