Purpose:
To explain when and how private contests are resized to ensure fair play and payouts—even if the contest doesn’t fill completely.
🧩 Step-by-Step Instructions:
1. What is Contest Resizing?
Contest resizing allows private contests to still run 💡 even if they don’t reach full capacity, so users can still play and win.
2. Does My Contest Qualify?
✔️ Resizing only applies to private contests
❌ Public contests will NOT be resized
3. Basic Resizing Rules
If the number of entries > number of prize spots → The contest will be resized and run ✅
If the number of entries < number of prize spots → The contest runs for free, and entry fees are fully refunded 💸
4. How Payouts Work After Resizing
🏆 Splash will try to keep the original prize structure.
📉 If that’s not possible, it will choose the closest payout format available.
Examples:
Winner Takes All: 2+ players = one winner gets the prize
Top X Win:
If fewer than X join → contest runs for free
If X or more join → Top X win 💰
5. Multiplier Contest Resizing
(Applies to Double Up, Triple Up, Quadruple Up contests)
🧮 Prize per winner never decreases
👥 Instead, the number of winners adjusts based on actual entries
💵 Formula for resized prize pool:
{Entry Fee} x {Actual # of Entrants} x 0.90
🔢 Winner count is rounded down if it's a decimal
