Re-entry Tournaments

[NuGHuFFeR]

I just played in the $1.10; $250gtd w/re-entries on Carbon and yes the re-entries are added to the prizepool.

If it doesn't hit its guarantee with the original buy ins, shouldn't the re-entries be added anyway to at least get close or match the guarantee?

The re-entries are added, but if the total amount of money from buy ins, re-buys, add-ons, and re-entries does not exceed the gurantee, then your not gonna see the prizepool grow larger. They don't add the buy ins on top of the guarantee untill the total buy ins have exceeded the gurantee. When the total amount of buy-ins does not meet the guarantee then this is called "overlay", meaning there is more money in the prizepool than amount from buy-ins. Overlay is a good thing because that means there is more money in the prizepool than there are buy-ins so it's extra or free money.

Now if it was an "$x.xx added" mtt instead of "$x.xx guaranteed" ,then yes the buy-ins would be added to the already guaranteed amount like you, WILD, described in quotes at the top of this post.
