Tournament Advantages over place-based scoring.

• Less Waiting: Your score determines your prize. Once you finish your last game, you can receive your prize.
• Less Uncertainty: Your prize does not get lowered if others tie with you. For example, if there are two 4-0 players, both receive the full amount for 4-0.
