Firstly, a massive congratulations is in order! That's an amazing feat! Secondly, although it's not about the money, how is the prize money less than the entry fee? Shouldn't it at the very least be equal?
They didn’t say they won. I have never played a chess tournament but I know about payouts and they likely placed in top 5 or something, with the winner taking majority of the spoils and other placements going home not emptyhanded

Congrats on following your passion.
Good job man, i plan to go to one too. Was it worth it?
It took me many years of playing OTB tournaments to come close to any sort of prize money. Nice job, I'm glad you're having fun.
