Prize pool of tournament is build from players’ buy-ins minus tournament fee. Prize pool distribution depends on number of players so lets say if player plays in tournament with 10 players then prize pool is distributed between top three positions, but if he plays in tournament with 120 players then prize pool is distributed between top 20 positions.
IMPORTANT: IQ Wars are very unique because players playing with Play credits and Real credits are playing in the same tournaments (except SNG) and because of this there is separate Real credits prize pool created for those who are playing with Real credits within the same tournament. In other words it means that if player plays tournament with Real credits and takes 50th place, but all positions above is Play credit players, so this Real credit player will distribute prize pool of Real credits with other Real credits players and his position in this list will be top (1st place) position despite he was only 50th on general players list.
