We've been playing a few games of poker around here, and now it's time to turn up the heat. This tourney will last 3 hands, and I'm committing 500 of my own mana to the prize pool. Plus I'm giving 10 mana per point earned to each person on the scoreboard. How many points will the winner of the tourney have?

Current Score

@Jason, 15 points!

@ChristopherRandles, 11 points

@A, 7 points

@Dilon, 6 points

@Fion, 2 points

@Rorau, 1 point

@brubsby, 1 point

Scoring Points

Starting with the newest hand, Hand 4 (finished), then Hand 5 (finished) and Hand 6, players and non-players alike can score points in the tourney. Points are awarded per account (in case of alts).

There's a bunch of ways to score points. First and foremost, by playing in the hands:

• 3 points for a solo win, +1 if showdown

• 2 points for split win, each

• 2 points for 2nd place

• 1 point for 3rd place

• 1 point for highest buy-in

• The Audience grants its points, if any, to its biggest supporter

  • the biggest supporter is the trader who paid the most mana, net, to keep it in the game

But also for contributing to the whole environment of the game:

• 1 point for the most popular meta question in each hand (traders)

• 1 point for the most popular meta question about the tournament (traders)

• 1 point for single most profit from any question of a hand (main + all rounds)

• 1 point for single most profit from any of a hand's meta questions

• 1 point for committing at least 100 mana to any of the game's prize pools (send me a managram and tag it as "for Hand 4's prize pool" or such)

  • Up to 4 points per contributor to the prize pools; 1 for the tourney and 1 per hand

I won't be earning any points myself, and my own meta questions' trader counts will be ignored for these purposes.

The Prizes

Whereas each hand's prize pool goes to the hand's winner(s), the tournament's pool is divided among the top 3 scorers:

1st (Win) - 60% of pool

2nd (Place) - 30% of pool

3rd (Show) - 10% of pool

Ties split. Examples:

• Two 1st place: 45%/45%, 3rd gets 10%

• Two 3rd place: split 5%/5%

This question resolves to the number of points held by the tourney winner (1st) at the end of the tournament.
