Title: Tournament Payout Percentages
Post by: BUMMERBAITS on March 28, 2007, 10:50:26 AM
Looking to see if anyone has on hand a quick Payout Percentage Scale.

I am working on a program to automatically calculate tournament payouts. But kinda starting to get stuck with the percentages. So far I have fiqured out the following

Pay 2 Places - 60% / 40%
Pay 3 Places - 50% / 30% / 20%
Pay 4 Places - 50% / 25% / 15% / 10%
Pay 5 Places - 50% / 20% / 15% / 10% / 5%
Pay 6 Places - 42% / 27% / 11% / 9% / 6% / 5%

Just looking to see if anyone has one that goes out alot farther like up to paying out 25 Places or so.

Thank's

Hey Bummer, I created a file that I could send you.  Basically, all you put in is

Number of participants
Entry Fee
Tournament costs (if any)
% places to pay out

It calculates the number of pays based on the % you put in, places the % to pay out based on the participants, and even calculates the dollars to pay out each person factoring in tournament costs.  Anyone that would like to check it out, PM me your email address.  The spreadsheet is too big to post here...

First let me welcome you to the Ultimate Bass family. Pull up a chair and make yourself at home.

As Ron pointed out above, this is an old thread and it is probably best to send a PM directly to Creel Limit Zero to see if he still has this available as he may not be monitoring this thread anymore.

If you would like to win some free gear from some of the great companies that sponsor our site be sure and put your name in for the  New Member's Contest  (http://www.ultimatebass.com/bass-fishing-forum/index.php?topic=129949.0) and the Weekly Contests  (http://www.ultimatebass.com/bass-fishing-forum/index.php?board=193.0).

In the meantime if I can be of any help with anything please don't hesitate to contact me or any other staff member. Looking forward to seeing you around the boards and to learning from what you share with us.

Once again, Welcome!

This thread is 10 years old. The member who posted about having a file to send out has not been active for a while now. I suggest you try sending him a PM directly but just be aware that you may not get a response.
