What i don't understand is if the most a person win in a BBO tournament is .5 point, how it is possible that at least 10 people are winning 20 - 30 points per day. By that math you would have to play and win something on the order of 50 tournaments - in one day!

The number of points you get depends on the number of players you beat, so the larger the tournament, the more points available. The most recent Zenith Daylong Reward tournament had 2040 entrants; first place received 31.95 BBO points in a single go (and the entire top 100 received over 10 points each).

BBO Daylongs (ie, the ones not named "ACBL") award a lot more points than the ACBL ones. Someone who consistently plays these and does well can amass a lot of points fairly quick. But it is tough to finish in top 10 or even 100; a lot of people to beat for that!
You can see recent results from these games on this page -- click some of the leaderboards to get a sense of the field size and rewards:
