I understand that TO players are treated as added cash. But if they are also treated as added # of players to the percentage of cash payout then that means they diminish the avg. amount of cash to each of the full price players that cash.

For example, if you have 72 players, 60 full price ($80/ea), 12 TO ($25/ea) that would be $5,100 in the pool. Paying 40% of all players would mean 29 players (72*40%) will avg $177/ea. If the TO's are excluded from percentage of cash payout, then 24 players (60*40%) will avg $212/ea.

So although a TO will add cash they in effect take away cash from the original pool of the top 40% and distribute a portion of their contribution to players that would not of cashed in the first place.
