FWIW, this is exactly the kind of situation why I will never enter into a conditional hedge with anyone. The moneys owed due to a hedge should always be known at the end of the current match.

Otherwise, it creates situations where a player may have a conflict of interest in their future matches. In this case, if a player knows he owes 25% of all prize money earned in the finals, it is in his financial interest to agree to split the pot in the finals, and then somehow lose the match and "earn" the second place prize. Early round hedges should never create these kinds of conflicts of interest in later rounds.
