If you award purse for your tournaments, you can set up custom distribution tables to be used for any of your events and leagues. These distribution tables allocate a certain % of the total pot for every awarded position. They can be set up using one of the following methods:
Fixed number of awarded positions: Award top X number of finishers regardless of field size.
Number of Awarded Positions based on Field Size: Different distribution tables will be used depending on the field size.
After setting up the distribution tables, they can be selected (and used) when setting up your tournaments.
In this article, we will discuss how to set up, manage, and use distribution tables.
Accessing Purse Distribution Tables:
To access and set up distribution tables, go to Customer Center > Customer Settings > Purse Distribution Tables.

Name the distribution table.
Enter a value to round to (optional).

Enter the maximum number of players for the lowest field size range, the number of positions to award for that field size range, and the percentage to be earned for every awarded position. In the example below, the top three positions are awarded purse in cases where the field size is 10 or less.
Click "New Purse Distribution Rule" and repeat step #5 for any additional field size ranges. Continue to add more rules until all field size range tables are added.
Click "Save" and the distribution table will be created.
Below is an example setup that awards 3 positions when there are 10 or less players, 7 positions if there are 11-30 players, and 10 positions if there are 31-50 players.
