Weekly Tournament Part 2

I've been updating this post in real time through last weeks Weekly Tournament. Check it out.

I got 60k pretty effortlessly so far. (lol @ effortlessly).
I said that I probably won't be playing the weekly tournament again, but I think I figured out something.

Yes, I think I did. I now have 100K.

Now I have 200K.

270K.

400K...

600K.. 

800K.. 

900K..

1 Million...

1.2 Million...

1.5 Million... 

1.8 Million...

2 Million...

2.3 Million...

2.4 Million...

I finished the Weekly Tournament with 2,623,316 chips, November 8 - 15, 2009.
I ranked #16 in the world.
Do you know what I got for it? Nothing.

Unfortunately, 48 hours have passed. If only I knew I was wasting my valuable chip taking time...Now I have confirmed my original thoughts on the weekly tournament.  See what I said here .

This is what a difficult to find section of Zynga's website says,

"Only the top 20% players will receive 20% of their tournament earnings which will be added to their regular poker account balance. The rest of the players will start the new tournament with 1.1k again.  It typically takes 24-48 hrs after the Weekly Tournament ends to distribute the purse and send out congratulation e-mails."

"Congratulation email"??? That's a joke. The only congratulations I got were from a few friends. So after a long week of taking chips from my opponents, I discover that I will receive a pitiful 20% of what I made (if they ever decide to reward me). Therefore, I am supposed to get 520K for ranking 16th in a  
685 Million (685,000,000) chip pot!!!! That equals about .08% for 16th place.

Is that fair? Will you play the weekly tournament after reading this?
Tell me what you think.
