How are the prizes distributed during a Basic Tournament?

Of the total in players' stake money 25% always goes to QuizWinners.com (to cover the administrative costs involved in running the game). The remaining 75% goes to the winner or winners.

The distribution of prizes during a Basic Tournament depends on the number of contestants. In case of 1, 2 or 3 contestants, there is 1 winner. In case of 4 contestants, there are 2 winners. In that case, number 1 wins 65% of the total amount in prize money and number 2 gets 35% of the total amount in prize money.

Mind: when every player in a tournament scores zero (0) points, none of the players wins a prize and the total (100 %) in players' stake money goes to QuizWinners.com.
