I don't think many of us joined this specific contest for the league prizes, but more for the "lottery" prize at a reasonable cost.

Seriously, what's an extra couple hundred for first or fifty bucks for second. Now adding a few grand for a top five finish in the overall, now that gets exciting.

Glenn Seconded.

I too vote for the 1600/750 option. No need for 3rd, and no need to give more to the overall prizes.

The difference between 50 and 55 thousand is minor, and let's face it....the playoffs are a lottery.


Ditto!!!!!

Count me as one of the "oddballs". I definitely joined for the league prizes; the lottery at the end is nice but only if the league prizes are a decent per cent payback. Increasing the league prizes to $1500 and $750 would represent a 60% payback assuming a "3 pack" buyin. 60% is nice when a lottery is also included.

I'd vote for a combination of league prize increases and Overall prize increases.

Increase leasgue first to $1500 and 2nd to $750

With the additional $6000 increase overall prizes:

2nd place from $8000 to $10,000
3rd place from $4000 to $5000
4th place from $2500 to $4000
5th place from $2000 to $3000
6th place from $1500 to $2000 Agree with Riff's schedule above. I'd rather see a noticeable bump in the overall after 1500/750.

I'm on board w/ Riff and KJ too. Bump the leagues up to 1500/750 then add more money to the overall 2nd-down prizes.

IMHO, if you joined the Online for the league prizes, you maybe should've joined a private satellite league? :rolleyes:

I would rather the league prize money stay as it is.

I think the extra juice should go to the overall prizes. I agree that 1st should stay at 50K but I would bump up the other prizes or add more of them.

I think that paying more folks in the Championship Round is better for the game. It gives more championship teams a chance to cash and imho, that is the premise of this contest.

Now when I win my 3 leagues, I will thank all of you for voting to increase the league cash instead of the overall prizes.

Note: This shouldn't be put to the MB for input. This should be spelled out in your rules. Having said that, thanks for letting us have a say.

I would have to agree with Rob. The race is 16 weeks long not 13. The Million Saturday was won at the finish line, not at the quarter pole.
