Last-Longer Side-Bet
Overview
A last-longer side-bet is a side-bet that
rewards players for lasting longer than other players before their first elimination.
Last longer sidebets are created from the tournament side-bet panel
and edited in the last
longer side-bet dialog.
You have two types of last-longer side-bets at your disposal:
- Public Last-Longer: All players are eligible for reward.
- Private Last-Longer: Only players that have opted in are eligible
for reward.
Refer to the side-bet topic for further discussion on public vs.
private side-bets.
How this differs from the general prize pool and payout schedule
You might be wondering how this is different from just using the tournament payout schedule to reward players for finishing well. There are two main differences:
- This side-bet can be private, whereas the tournament payout schedule applies to everyone.
- This side-bet rewards people for lasting longer before their *first* elimination, whereas the tournament payout schedule only cares about your final finishing position.
If your tournament has no rebuys, then a "public" laster longer side-bet is redundant.
Attributes
Aside from the standard side-bet attributes (see the side-bet topic), last-longer side-bets also have
the following attributes:
- Payout plan: Your way of determining how the prize pool for
this side-bet should be distributed. You define the number of spots to
pay and what percentage of the side-bet pool should go to each spot.
The percentages must add up to 100%.
- Win candidates: You way of keeping track of the participants
who are candidates for receiving a portion of the side-bet prize pool.
The candidates are ranked in order of how they performed. You cannot edit the ranking since it is derived from the tournament knockout log. Each candidate has a "time out" attribute that shows when they were eliminated.
