I eventually dug up the numbers (I found time...) and by my count, 2011 has yielded roughly $235,925 in prize money so far, but my numbers don't match up with yours exactly, some months are drastically different.

Thanks for the information, I'm not going to go over it all and try to find why the numbers don't match up, because I've already done all this research for the past 5 editions and I know it's solid, but here's some potential reasons for why they'd be different.

1. This isn't a 'monthly' thing as you said, it's a bi-weekly thing.
2. You have no way of knowing the cutoff values imposed (based on tournament type) for I don't believe I've ever released them publicly.
3/4. If your values are lower than mine, you may not have been as thorough as I was. TLPD doesn't cover everything. You've gotta dig much deeper than that. If your values are higher than mine, you're probably counting events that don't make the previously mentioned cutoff values, or counting lesser events that never publicly recorded results/dates/winners/prizedistribution.

If you'd like to go into it further, PM me.

Will never understand why Jinro looks scared/sad in that picture.

Yeah. I probably covered a few things a bit more leniently than you, but still. All the money I did show was given out, so it's still prize money - kinda crazy to see that much.
