Prize Payouts

This year we will have 12 GMs participating at $50 each totalling $600 in prize money.

Your commish suggests one of the below options for prize payouts, please let me know which you prefer.

Option A (status quo):
1st - $250
2nd - $150
3rd - $50
Mid-season 1st - $100
Mid-season 2nd - $50


Option B:
1st - $200
2nd - $100
3rd - $50
Mid-season 1st - $100
Mid-season 2nd - $50
Monthly Prizes - $25 (weeks 1-4, 5-8, 9-12, 13-17)

Option C:
1st - $250
2nd - $100
3rd - $50
Monthly Prizes - $25 (weeks 1-4, 5-8, 9-12, 13-17)
Most points by drafted players - $50
Most points by non-drafted players - $50

Personally, I think Option C is the best - I'm not a huge fan of mid-season prizes, but monthly prizes gives every GM something to fight for all the way through week 17.  Also, Yahoo! makes tracking the drafted/non-drafted points easy so I think it adds another layer of bragging rights to everything.

Let me know your thoughts!

  1. I vote for Option C, but only include most points from drafted players and then throw the extra $50 back into the 2nd place prize.

  2. I like most of Option C... mostly for the quarterly prizes...

    I don't know about the other $$$ being for 'drafted' and 'non-drafted' though... In most cases, whoever wins the league will probably be winning one (or both) of these categories...

    Maybe Option C but then throw an extra $50 for 1st and 2nd at mid-year... like an Option A and C hybrid...
