$600 extra isn't where I was going when raising the league prizes either.
I too would like to see 2nd, 3rd, ,4th-10th overall get a little more as well. I just don't see the point for 75K. In your proposal Greg, you had $98,100 going to overall, and $9,800 going to each league.
I would rather see something along these lines....
Overall -- League
1st $50,000.00 --- $6,500.00
2nd $15,000.00 --- $3,000.00
3rd $7,500.00 --- $1,400.00
4th $3,000.00
5th $1,400.00
6th $1,400.00
7th $1,400.00
8th $1,400.00
(keep consolation/combined the same).
Now you are talking $1,500 MORE for first place, and $500 more for 2nd in each league!!! Along with 2nd, 3rd, and 4th overall prizes that are better, for roughly exactly the same total payout based on 15 or so leagues. (If needed, just cut the prizes cut the consolation/combined prizes down a bit).
As someone who has won a grand prize in a national contest, I can tell you the money is nice, but knowing you were the best is something far more desirable IMO. The difference between 50K and 75K.....simply not much difference when you could raise EVERYTHING else up.
Besides, if someone is interested in ONE big overall prize, there are TWO other options.....NFFC Primetime and FFPC.
