Though to be fair, your monthlies and weeklies weren't really worth that much since you wouldn't have actually been able to get any more entries into the Monster Final. The Monster Final was worth quite a bit more as your calculations point out.

I agree BernieMac. The calcs I used were simplified and they undervalue the Final seats at the expense of overvaluing Monthly seats EV for those people who already won a Final seat.

My rationale? I pictured the programmer at Party trying to do nested condition logic on "if player has 1 Final seat, then", and "if player has too many Monthly / weekly seats, then reduce weekly seat EV by x since no player can play in >8 Monthlies" and having his head explode.

But you are definitely correct, the TRUE EV calc would have to cap each players maximum share of the Final proze pool by excluding a portion of EV in Monthly/weekly for people in Final.
