I like that we now have the option to round the percentage payout numbers in a payout schedule. Any reason why the number doesn't round up when it is .5 or higher rather than .6? |

It should be rounding up for .5 or higher. Basically, I just add 0.5 and truncate.
Gimmie a for instance. _________________ --

I'm in the payout schedule I customized. It is for 10-10,000 players, pays out over 25% of the buy ins with a spread of 50% and a decay of 30%.
When I edit the Distribution Method, for rounding the two options it gives me are: Round (3.6-->4) or Truncate (3.6-->3). And if I put 10 players in the preview, it only pays out 2 players (25% of 10 is 2.5 players, and it rounds that down to 2 because it is not 2.6 or higher). Does this make sense? |

I got around to trying your exact scenario last night and, at least for me, it actually works the way it is supposed to and pays out 3.
Can you check it again? _________________ --

It now works and it paying out three spots when I have 10 entrants. The rounding method still says 3.6-->4, but that isn't a big deal as long as it is rounding properly, and it looks ike that is the case now. |

Note, though, that you're still using the same version. I haven't changed anything yet. _________________ --
