Classification in tournements

Ryan if u read this it would be nice if you could explain me the prize and money classification of the tournements.
Before I signed in the Monday 20k today I saw the last tournement pay out:

Top 4 were paid out : (261k;145k;104,4k; and 69;9k) with 28 people.

Then I played the tourney and was at the final table and somebody was kicked out 5th.
Later I finished 4th and I thought I get some cash but I was wrong and got 0.

26 people played there (only 2 people less than the tournement last week).

Top 3: 270k;162k; and 108k

So Ryan can u tell me if theres a automatic generation of delivery schedule (internet translation lol) or arbitrary classification or who gives these instructions???

I would like to know this because it would be useful for me to see my chances to get paid out before the tourney starts.
If someone knows how this system works please post it here cause I think many players are interested in that.

If the payout is variable rather than fixed then the payout will be equal to the number of tables there are in the tourney with a minimum of 3 and a maximum of 9.

If you click on the tourney link, then you will be able to see if the payout is variable or fixed.

The amount of the payouts is then determined by a percentage based system and is different according to the number of people that will get paid out. I have the percentages at home and will post later if i remember. hahahhahahahahhahahah LMAO xo ;-)

I think this might be slightly different for the Friday 5's tourney where there are 5 per table but if I recall, is still equal to the number of tables.

Basically, for the other tournies divide the number of entrants by 9 to get the number of tables and round up. For Friday 5's tourney, divide by 5.

I know this pending on how many table there are is how many get paid.

7 tables top 7 get paid.

Max of top 9 can get paid and min of top 3 get paid so if there are 12 tables or 25 tables only the top 9 get paid.

However, if there are 1,2 or 3 tables only the top 3 make any cash back.

"(yep pays out 100.5% in total) "

Pay outs are within 90-something % and 100-something % I even seen a payout of 103% in past week.
The excact % are not used on here and (im just guessing here) it seems that the more chips you won ingame, the higher the payout % gets..

all the payouts in the tournies have equalled the exact percentages i stated apart from maybe the ones that payout at 100.5%
