And ill answer your good question with a long winded cut and paste job from FTP tournament rules.
If a tournament is voided before it starts - Players will have their buy-ins and
fees returned in the same currency they used to enter the tournament (real
money, tokens, etc.), unless they entered the tournament through a satellite,
in which case they will be refunded the standard buy-in for the tournament.
If the tournament had not yet reached the money - All players still in the
tournament at the time of the cancellation will be refunded their tournament
buy-in and tournament fee. Players will have their buy-ins refunded in the
same currency they used to enter the tournament (
real money, tokens, etc.),
unless they earned their entry through a satellite, in which case, they will be
refunded the standard buy-in for the tournament. In addition, the buy-ins of
players already eliminated from the tournament will be divided up and
distributed to the remaining players, based on their chip counts. Guarantees
and money added to the prize pool will not be included in the player payouts.
If the tournament had reached the money - All players still in the tournament
at the time of the cancellation will be awarded with the next guaranteed payout
and have their tournament fee returned. In addition, the remaining prize pool
will be distributed amongst the surviving players based on their chip counts.
If a tournament awards a non-monetary prize, such as
world series of poker
prize package, Full Tilt Poker will assign a monetary value to the prize, and
distribute the cash value to the remaining players, based on their chip counts.
If all remaining players have each won the first-place prize at the time of
cancellation (e.g., the remaining players have each already secured a
wsop
prize package), they will each keep their prizes.
