I think it is the fairest option considering the oversight in the rules. I did not expect this many people to have a clean sheet at this point or this many people to still be alive. Last year we didn't have anyone get to the rebuy deadline without using it and only one player came close, losing the last possible week.

This is on me for not thinking through all the scenarios fully which is why I am trying to rectify it now. I don't like making changing in the middle of contests but I don't think anyone has an issue with this one as 1 person would get the 20% anyways if they got to the deadline so what's the difference for everyone else whether it is 1,2,3 or 4.

I should have asked this before week 1.

Why is there a re-buy deadline?

Here is an unlikely scenario: perfect record thru week 17 then loses in week 18 (no chance for re-buy)

Because I didn't want someone winning by losing. That's why we added the side pot. I am open to adjustments for next year. I hear what you are saying.

of course it would have been easier if everyone but one person lost in week 1 lol

20 percent payout after week 1 lol

edit: because of the re-buy deadline, your proposal to split the pot is probably the most reasonable

I could have done the math wrong but it does guarantee the 4 of us 20k and the buy in was only 10k so we already double our sats lol
