Nice race, I'm super glad that you're now doing this. Though, 1000 split by 30 people is somewhat Ok but imagine how much better it would have been if the prize was split among the top 10 players - just saying
While traffic is still low compared to other sites they should award only first three players (500,300,200) with reward that would for sure increase fight to place in top 3.
It cant be a double edge sword if the prize split between 3 players only.
You might be right that it will increase the fight and wagered amount to win the prize but on other hand it will also decrease the fight between those who usually fight for lower reward (4-30th position)
I guess having 30 winners is the best at the moment, it means that low bankroll players still has the chance to win something from the competition.
I agree , think they are doing it right , while giving top 3 a relatively big prizes compared to the rest
they also reward 30 people for participating in the race , only 3 places is not a good idea
after all , their marketing team does the math and sees if the contest is going to be a good tool to promote
if they are doing it this particular way , means that they are happy with the way it is going so far
