5000 / 8 = 625 (average per player, 8 players)
625 / 30 = 20.83 (average per hour over 30 hours if equal share).

So they average to $20/hour, but if someone pulls out, fails etc, then the others get more.

Is it a 30 hour non stop marathon, or over 3-4 days?

Not that's some serious blue-sky imagineering. Configuresoft obviously sing off the same song-sheet as those who invented Parking Wardens.

...who is the handsome fellow with the goatee? Heh heh.
