- Rewards list correction: small bug in the algo

We ran a manual check on all the data gathered by the top players calculator after the prizes were calculated and found a small bug.

The algo had a cap in data gathering, but it resulted a bit low. This caused some players at the end of the list to get a wrong position due to data being missed by the algo.

Basically, the cap excluded some purchases made by the affected users in the last hours of the tournament.

We increased the cap and it fixed the issue, so the list matched our manual calculation.

Here is the winners list as advertised at the end of the tournament:

Mukesh and Mamta Devi are the ones affected by the bug.

This is the results table of our manual run:

So, the final list, now available in the stats browser, is as follows:
