This guide explains how teams can win prize money in Power League. There are two main ways to earn money: by winning games during the regular season (the Round Robin) and by finishing in the Top 3 in the playoffs.

Power League splits the total prize pool into two equal halves:

1. 50% goes to the Round Robin (regular season games where every win earns money).
2. 50% goes to the Playoffs (Top 3 teams at the end of the season).

There are 8 rounds in the season. In each round, every team plays one game. There are 20

teams, so that means 10 games per round and 10 winners per round.

The Round Robin prize pool (50% of the total) is divided evenly between ALL wins across the entire season. So every single win is worth the same amount.

Example With a $50,000 Prize Pool

1. Total prize pool: $50,000
2. Round Robin pool = 50% = $25,000
3. Total wins available: 80 (10 winners × 8 rounds)
4. Money per win: $25,000 ÷ 80 = $312.50 per win

The other 50% of the prize pool goes to the Top 3 teams in the playoffs:

Placing	Percent of Playoff Pool	Amount (Example with $25,000 Playoff Pool)
1st Place	60%	$15,000
2nd Place	30%	$7,500
3rd Place	10%	$2,500

Remember: this playoff money is on top of any Round Robin money the team has already earned.

Below is a clear example showing how the Top 3 playoff teams could earn BOTH playoff money and Round Robin money. This assumes the $50,000 total prize pool and $312.50 paid per win.

Example Wins for Top 3 Teams

1. 1st Place Team wins 6 round robin games.
2. 2nd Place Team wins 5 round robin games.
3. 3rd Place Team wins 3 round robin games.

Their Total Earnings Would Be:

Team	Round Robin Wins	Round Robin Money	Playoff Money + Total
1st Place Team	6 wins	$1,875	$15,000 + $1,875 = $16,875
2nd Place Team	5 wins	$1,562.50	$7,500 + $1,562.50 = $9,062.50
3rd Place Team	3 wins	$937.50	$2,500 + $937.50 = $3,437.50

This version is useful when the total prize pool has not been finalised yet.

Total Prize Pool	Split 50% Round Robin, 50% Playoffs
Rounds	8
Teams	20 (10 games per round)
Total Wins (Season)	80
Playoff Distribution	1st: 60%, 2nd: 30%, 3rd: 10%

1. Use Power League colours: deep blue, strong red, and white.
2. Present the information in two clear blocks or 'cards': one for Round Robin, one for Playoffs.
3. Use simple icons where possible, for example: a scoreboard icon for Round Robin and a trophy icon for Playoffs.
4. Make sure the tables are mobile-friendly and easy to read.
5. Consider using a two-tab layout on the website: one tab for 'Percentages' and one tab for the '$50,000 Example'.

Power League is excited to introduce a prize pool system that rewards teams for every win. Half of the total prize pool is paid out during the Round Robin season, where every game win earns money. The other half is reserved for the Top 3 teams in the playoffs, with 1st place receiving 60% of the playoff pool, 2nd place 30%, and 3rd place 10%. This means every game matters—teams can earn real money throughout the season, and those who make a deep playoff run can compete for the biggest rewards.
