I don't play many tourneys but how can you have a negative ROI if your average profit is higher than your average stake? I guess I'm just slow.

How are you calculating the averages of your roi?

Do 2 10% roi tournaments lose out to a -21% roi?

ROI is calculated by dividing total profit by total buy-ins. So if you cashed in a few freerolls but lost more than that in games where you had to pay to enter, you'd have a negative ROI.

I'll post my graph later, but my graph is way in the positive

Stats can be manipulated, in this case it's like mixing high hand/promo/bbj funds with cash game play. You'd have to try and figure out what factors they are putting in the calculations. If you have no cashes when you've actually put in cash to play then your ROI should be -100% since when you play a freeroll there is no 'investment' made. GL
