700 x $300 is 210,000. $210,000 – 3.5% = $202,650.

ahh, ahh, ok … (i think).

here’s my source:

still doesn’t add up … .5 percent is only $1,050. There must be some other fee involved. $7,350 is 3.5 percent of $210,000.

The 1,650 difference is the .5%. The 3% was already removed from the prize pool.

Ahh ah, I got the math wrong — will correct … it’s not a $1,650 overlay, it’s a $7,350 underlay … which translates, i presume, to .5 percent?

Figured it out, they take out an additional .5% for the Best Overall Points of the DSE (Top 10 points earners get $).

That’s what I’ve been told.
