Default Re: Chip race question in MTT

Typically they always round up, no matter what. Each table is independent also. So with a little math you can easily see why in a tourney as big as the WSOP main event chipping up the $25's to $100's can add a bunch to the total chip count

Coloring up $25s, you add $0, $25, $50, or $75 to the table by rounding up. On average, that would be $37.50 per table, or a bit more than $4 per player (9 handed). Not that much added, considering the starting stacks.

Each step up adds more chips and more per table, but there are fewer tables as you go on. So the effect should not be that big.
