Big pot, big crowd

The headline number is the whole prize pool, usually split across many places and categories. First place is often a fraction of it. Large pools also pull in thousands of entrants, so a mid-sized prize with a small field can be the better bet. Compare the “per entrant” figure across cards to see it.

We only count prizes listed in US dollars. Events that list prizes in other currencies, or as credits and swag, show the organizer’s own wording instead.
