20 Table Tennis World Championships - WTT (World Table Tennis Professional League) Macau Tournament will be held on November 25th, and related discussions have also begun lively. One of the more attractive topics is: How are the bonuses for up to .8 million US dollars (about 5.26 million RMB) distributed? Can the champion really get 600,000 yuan?
Before this, although the organizer had already announced the bonus allocation plan on the official website, because the rules of this competition were too strange, many people quickly became dizzy. Let Quanyan take everyone to sort it out.
First of all, the distribution of the first prize is very simple, that is, the athlete's "appearance fee": as long as you participate in the competition, you can get a reward of US$15,000, which is about 98,000 yuan, which is close to the 100,000 yuan mentioned online. At present, there are basically 27 athletes participating (but there may still be changes), so they will divide up 405,000 US dollars, which is approximately RMB 2660,000. The appearance fee of
accounts for more than half of the total prize money, which shows that this competition is generally very good at taking care of athletes with poor levels. This is also a small benefit at the end of the year! After
appears, two groups will be divided according to the rules. The first group is the top 4 seed players. They fight each other, but no one is eliminated. They mainly compete for the quarter-finals signing position, so everyone has to participate in two battles, of which the first win get $2,500, the second win get $5,000, and the first win get $2,500.
Then, if you calculate it here, you will have to invest 2500×(2+2) + 5000×(2+2) + 2500×2=35,000 US dollars, which is approximately RMB 230,000 —The reason why 2+2 is because the competition is divided into two events, the subsequent calculation will also be the same. I will note it hereby noted.
As for another group, that is, athletes who rank low, they also have to fight the so-called first and second battles - players who rank after the top 8 will participate in the first battle, 4 people will win and get $2,500, others will be eliminated, and then those who win will win and get $5,000, and those who lose will be eliminated.
Then the number of bonuses this group of people will be: 2500×(4+4)+5000×(4+4)=60,000 US dollars, which is approximately RMB 390,000 —It can be seen that unless the top 4 seed players can remain unbeaten in the first and second games, they will not receive more bonuses than those who win among these athletes, which also narrows the "rich and poor gap".
What really sets the prize money distance is the result of the last three rounds: the winner of the quarter-finals will get $12,500 (about 82,000 RMB); the winner of the semi-finals will get $17,500 (about 11,500 RMB); the champion will get $25,000 (about 164,000 RMB).
If an athlete can be unbeaten from beginning to end (the champion may not be able to do it), he will receive an additional $10,000 (about 65,000 RMB). Therefore, the total number of bonuses left in the last three rounds is: 12500×(4+4) + 17500×(2+2) + 25000×2+10000×2=240000 US dollars, which is approximately RMB 1570,000 .
To sum up, the guaranteed bonus for the champion of this WTT Macau Tournament is: 15,000 (appearance fee) + 2500 (first game) + 5,000 (second game) + 12,500 (quarter final) + 17,500 (semi-final) + 25,000 (final) = 77,500 US dollars, which is approximately RMB 510,000 .
If the champion is the top 4 seed and wins first place in the 1st and 2nd matches, then he will get another $2,500; and if he won all the game and was unbeaten, he will get another $10,000, plus the guaranteed bonus just calculated is: 77,500+2500+10,000=90,000, which is approximately RMB 592,000, which is close to the 600,000 mentioned online.
Overall, the prize money for the WTT Macau Tournament is still very attractive. Although it is not comparable to tennis and other events, it is still relatively high in the field of table tennis. However, even so, some athletes still chose to give up. This shows that the level of commercial operation of table tennis is still quite low. The prize money of commercial competitions is not attractive enough, and it is still incomparable to the fame and fortune you won after the Olympics.
So who will become the first king of this new competition in the table tennis world? Everything is still unpredictable now, so let’s wait for tomorrow’s competition to start: Come on, everyone!
