i thought overlays were when the site guarantees a certain amount of money in the prize pool, but not enough people register to cover that guarantee, and the site has to dish out some money on its own

example, stars sunday million, 4500 people register. the prize pool is guaranteed to be at least 1 million, so stars has to fork up the extra 100 grand

in the main example, i figure it was:

an extra 56000 to be spread across people who play (since it's a freeroll so = no money required)....

meaning 56,000 + 9 packages to be spread amongst those who play?

It cost fpp to play. $75 worth I think.

304 registered, meaning $22,800 of the prizepool is coming from the players.

IIRC the packages are worth $9,000 each, and there are 9 of them being awarded for a total of $81,000.

This means the site contributed $58,200 to the tournament.

Wow. They even started you guys with 3000 chips and gave you 20 minute levels.

Sweet.
