Standard Top Prizing.

One booster pack per two participants (rounded up), distributed trickle-down across the top places starting from first.

How it works

The rule.

For every two participants in the prize pool, one booster pack is awarded — rounded up. So a 5-player event awards 3 packs, an 11-player event awards 6.

Packs are then distributed trickle-down: 1st place gets the first pack, then 1st again on the second, then 2nd, then 3rd, and so on — gradually rewarding more places as the pool gets bigger.

Pattern: 1 → 1·1 → 2·1 → 2·1·1 → 2·2·1 → 3·2·1 → 3·2·1·1 → 3·2·2·1 → 3·3·2·1 → 4·3·2·1, and so on.
