prize pools
Tournament payout totals
A prize pool is the total amount of money or rewards to be distributed among winners in a competition.
The term appears most often in esports, poker tournaments, and gaming contexts: The tournament's prize pool reached two million dollars.
Prize pools may come from entry fees, sponsorships, or crowdfunding.
How the pool is divided—winner-take-all versus tiered payouts—varies by event.
