Hi there,
This is not a bug actually, but a problem that need work around.
PS is running "steps" SnGs to qualify to events.

When I climb steps I earn tickets instead of money.
So lets say I got to step 3, that cost 82$ to enter, and I bust out from it.
Now, in the winning graphs it shows that I lost 82$, while I lost only the ticket and my BR did not change.

Any idea how to work around this?
Thanks

You can manually edit the tournament results if you want it to show up as a Freeroll. However, I think it's not wise to think of this tournament as not having a buyin. Instead, you should think of each Step as a satellite to the next step, which it is. If you had qualified for the sunday million through a satellite, would you think of the sunday million as a freeroll? Probably not. However, unless you are able to turn these step tickets into an actual cash prize, there is no real ROI. But if you do manage to get some cash out of them, you would definitely think you got a return on your investment. I guess my main point is that you can't treat losses different from wins. A step 3 loss is in reality an $82 loss.
