4. Divide Money
* While players are playing the seeding bracket you should divide the money.
* Total players in each bracket and divide that number by $20.00
( Example: 12 players x $20.00 = $240.00 )
( Winner = 40 % - $240.00 x .40 = $96.00 )
( 2nd = 20% - $240.00 x .20 = $48.00 )
( Top 4 = 10% - $240.00 x .10 = $24.00 )
( Top 4 = 10% - $240.00 x .10 = $24.00 )
( Event Manager - 10% = $240.00 x .10 = $24.00 )
( USSDA = 10% - $240.00 x .10 = $24.00 )
* If you have any added money from venues or sponsors you add this to the purse as you wish.
* Total players in each bracket and divide that number by $20.00
( Example: 12 players x $20.00 = $240.00 )
( Winner = 40 % - $240.00 x .40 = $96.00 )
( 2nd = 20% - $240.00 x .20 = $48.00 )
( Top 4 = 10% - $240.00 x .10 = $24.00 )
( Top 4 = 10% - $240.00 x .10 = $24.00 )
( Event Manager - 10% = $240.00 x .10 = $24.00 )
( USSDA = 10% - $240.00 x .10 = $24.00 )
* If you have any added money from venues or sponsors you add this to the purse as you wish.
5. Seed Knockout Bracket
* As the seeding brackets finish, count up wins and losses and assign a percentage to each player
( Example: Divide the number of legs won by the number of legs played )
( Example: 7 wins dived by 8 played = ..875 )
( Example : 4 wins divided by 8 games played = .500 )
* Seed the players from top to bottom according to winning percentage,
players with the same percentage are decided by random draw.
* At that point it becomes a long format best 4 of 7, if time and boards permit you
can increase to longer best of 9, 11, 13 etc. as the bracket narrows.
* As players are eliminated ask them to help score matches to
move the eventalong in a timely fashion.
