Yesterday the first place prize was $8200, today it says $7560. Why did it change?

It must be incorrect based on the number of players who picked after missing a pick (did a buyback), so I'll have to dig in to this. In the meantime can you tell me what you expect the number of buybacks to be? One thing that I can't readily tell is if you granted someone a buyback, but they failed to make a pick. If I assume that 'No Pick' after a loss means the person chose not to do the buyback. the current number of buybacks should be 86, which means your buyback total should be $3440, for a total pot of $8640.

86 total buy back times 40 
104 entries times $50.

OK, that's what I came up with. I found the problem and should have it uploaded tonight. It looks like your prize management page is correct. Thanks for letting me know.

This looks like pilot error on your part. :) The logs show you sent 13 players an Invite, which changed their status to 'Invited'. To fix this, go in to 'Edit Player Status' and filter on 'Invitees yet to respond' and set their status to what you expect it to be, either 'Out of Lives' if they have no more lives, or Active if they have at least 1 life left.
