Your score of 294.00 would gotten you $2 in the $1 Double-up R2 Showdown I played in. You would have placed 2nd of 39 in that contest. I cashed for $1.33, in a 3-way tie for 16th-18th (top 17 positions paid).
Your score of 294.00 would gotten you 75 cents in the Quarter Jukebox R2 Showdown I also played in. You would have placed 279th out of 4,447. So you would have tripled your money back. Another 20-30 points would have put you in the $5 range for your 25 cent entry fee.
