PRIZES: We strive to be as transparent as possible with you when money is involved:

– a fixed amount (30 €) will be put aside by the DPL for the final knockout prizes (e.g. flight tickets to Milan) and the other fixed yearly costs (e.g. LPI affiliation and website);

– a fixed quote (2,5 € per player) will be paid for the location;

– the remaining money will be used for the top 3 budget, with a distribution of 50% for #1, 30% for #2 and 20% for #3.

For example:

– with a 16-player tournament, the budget is 90 € and the prizes are: 45 € for #1, 27 € for #2, 18 € for #3;

– with a 26-player tournament, the budget is 165 € and the prizes are: 82,5 € for #1, 49,5 € for #2, 33 € for #3;
