Is there two payouts?

Rookie is there two payouts for this event (one for BJ and one for slots)?
I added up the prize money posted and it only adds up to $110,000 but you posted a $200,000 total prize payout.

1st - $50,000
2nd - $10,000 ($60,000)
3rd - $7,500 ($67,500)
4th - $5,000 ($72,500)
5th - $2,500 ($75,000)
6th-10th - $1,500 each ($7,500 = $82,500)
11th - 25th - $500 each ($7,500 = $90,000)
26th - 50th - $200 each ($5,000 = $95,000)
51st - 200th - $100 each ($15,000 = $110,000)

Tx,

I didn't attend due to the format and the invitation is long gone. As I recall there were 2 Slot and 2 BJ sessions for each player with each individual session paying 1st place only to make the total purse $200,000. Don't know why I failed to include that information, the prizes listed were for total points accumulated in all 4 sessions of play by each participant.

My decision not to attend was based on information from someone that played a recent MB accumulation BJ tournament. BR is 100,000 each session,
1,000 min, 10,000 max, 20 hands with no max bet the last hand. I was told to expect 200 players each betting max for 19 hands then going all in the final hand.

Mandalay Bay BJ Tournaments

I still do have in my email archive an invite to that tournament. It, however,
indicated that it was a $150k prize fund tournament with the other $40k consisting of a pair of $10k prizes each day for the highest bj rounds total for that day and highest slot rounds total for that day. I did play in the previous
Mandalay Bay accumulation blackjack tournament, and the format was as bad as rookie suggested. I remember being puzzled by the discrepancy between
the $150k and $200k prize fund listings, but since I wasn't interested in the tournament, I never tried to resolve the discrepancy.
