Format
The term 'skins' comes from golf, for a tournament where the prize money based on winning individual holes. Win the hole/game, win the 'skin'. For this tournament, winning the first game will net the progamer 100,000 KRW (~100 USD), while the next game is worth 200,000 KRW (~200 USD) and so forth. There will also be bonuses for streaks, like winning 2 games in a row will net a 200,000 KRW (~200 USD) bonus, etc. Thus, with a perfect score on the day, a player could end up with a total prize of more than 5,000,000 KRW (~5000 USD).
