    In Response to Re: UKOPS XVI is announced. : What is the relevance of guarantee being met or not to the bounty element of the prizepool?

    Here is a example for you. The prize will add up to the guarantee but the two prize pools will be different. The cash pool always being the larger and the head prize pool the least. You must always play the ones that smash the guarantee (which TBF most do on here). I wasnt trying to start an issue, just stating the facts.

    The head prize is set. 50% of £5 multiplied by the number of entrants. The cash element of the prize pool is increased to meet the guarantee. That's why the guarantee is irrelevant to the bounty element of the prizepool.

    Max, This.

    If the guarantee is met or exceeded, then yes the two prize pools are equal but the effective head prize per person remains at 50% per person of buy in. 

    I would get more £££'s in my pocket for knocking someone out in hand one of mtt if was £2000 over or under guarantee.  If it misses guarantee I would just be likely to get more for a min cash :)

    In your example, divide the 79 players by bountie prize pool - should = £2.50 :) do that for one that smashed guarantee - will be same :) 

    Gl Angel in the mtt :)

    Didn't want to start a heated discussion. Thank you all for the replies. Sorry just heads a bit fuzzy and feeling thick (who am I kidding I am lol)

    Good luck all who are playing the UKOPS events hope you run golden. If you can't cash then the next best thing is to have fun.
