on same points at the end of the tournament. Here is an example of this system; suppose 4 players share the same place. The four prizes are as follows: 1st € 10.000, 2nd € 8.000, 3rd € 6.000, 4th € 4.000. We have to split € 28.000. We split this amount in two equal parts, each of € 14.000. The first part will be split equally and each player receives € 3.500. The second part will be split according to the ranking after a tie-break. # 1 receives € 3.500 + € 5.000 = € 8.500 # 2 receives € 3.500 + € 4.000 = € 7.500 # 3 receives € 3.500 + € 3.000 = € 6.500 # 4 receives € 3.500 + € 2.000 = € 5.500( Please note that the amounts € 5.000, 4.000, 3.000 and 2.000 are just half of the original prizes.)
