My apologies. You are absolutely correct. The prize package is 50K at 3X the number of participants for an EV of less then $100. Pretty crappy as slot tournaments go.
I'll let my host know what I think of the new format.

prize package? Conceptually it doesn't sound like a bad idea, it just seems to
be splitting the prize pool between a larger number of players.The original high end slot tourneys were 160 players with a total prize
package of $50,000. This will involve over 500 players and the total prize
package doesn't seem to be much over $50,000.[Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
