I understand there is a 25k win for rounds with 1,024 competitors. But with this being the 3rd round, where are we really at with remaining competitors? 4096? 2048?

Maybe I am too lazy to sort through it myself, but I was hoping someone could point me to the right place to find the information.

* Semi-Final: $ 100 000
* Quarter-Final: $ 75 000
* 16-team round: $ 50 000

Except, I didn't ask that question. I can read the rules. :P

I was looking for a way to figure out how many teams are remaining now that we are in the 3rd round. Just so I can figure out what my income potential will be at each stage should I be successful in my cup run.

I'm guess at some point, you can count the number of teams...

just do the math. we've played 1 round with 4096 teams. then another with half that. and now we have another with half that. so up until the 5th round we will still only get 25k per game.

Like I said, I was lazy.

But, having gotten that bit of informatiom, there are 1024 left which I just confirmed.

Maybe I will get lucky next week with a good matchup in the cup and make it into the final 256.

the problem is, that not every team was shown ... So you can't count, and normally there is no information how long the tournament goes, and with how much teams it starts.

Well, there are 50 games a 'page', and 10 pages with a few extra games on the 11th.

512 games = 1024 teams left. I've been very fortunate so far to get 3 Div V bots, my good fortune cannot continue forever. ;)
