Estimated cutoff: ~860 [cf:https://forums.playcontestofchampions.com/en/discussion/comment/2176659/#Comment_2176659]

Estimated cutoff for 1-10%: ~50 (between 33 and 60)
Estimated cutoff for 11-20%: ~30 (between 26 and 49)
Estimated cutoff for 21-30%: ~10 (between 6 and 25)
Estimated cutoff for 31-50%: ~4 (4-5)

Estimated number of participants: 211,000**
Estimated Gold produced by the event: 443 billion gold


** This estimate comes from a statistical calculation that guestimates the percentage of players who scored exactly one point from the cutoff figures above, then uses a simplified version of the German Tank Problem calculations to estimate the number of one point scorers based on the rank values I achieved from two alts. Although there are large margins for error with this calculation, the number is almost certainly higher than 200k and almost certainly lower than 300k.

    I've been told that because of the number of players (accounts) that participated, the game server reward granting systems are still clearing the backlog. And they are not necessarily granting rewards in rank order, so it may take a while even if you placed highly.
