Dear ,

Tournament #160529578 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 96 players remaining, and your chip count was 22,451.00. Total chips in play were 999,000.00.

Prize pool to be divided equally: $7,000.00 / 2 = $3,500.00
Prize pool to be divided based on chip count: $7,000.00 / 2 = $3,500.00

Your share in money equally divided: $3,500.00 / 96 = $36.45
Your share based on chip count: $3,500.00 * (22,451.00 / 999,000.00) = $78.65
Your entry fee refunded: $2.00
Total money refunded to your account: $117.12

We apologize for the inconvenience.
