The only other thing I"d suggest is that instead of the Champions prize going to the champion - it"s staggered more like a SNG payout. Perhaps pay the same number of places as there are tables, maybe capping it at top 3?
Could open up some interesting dynamics and give some middle of the road players something extra to aim at? As Mr Murray has pointed out in the past, the winner already has the most money.

Great idea. Would make the last part of the Final more interesting IMO.

I strongly disagree. This idea only works with a greater number of runners, at the moment i think graduating a payout is pointless, the money jumps will not be sufficient to encourage action, if anything it will discourage it.....this idea can only work when the tournament gets 40plus runners imo

What jumps would you consider sufficient? Can obviously tweak rules regarding runners and payouts, so say 10 runners per place paid, up to top 3 on standard SNG payouts gives a split as such:
10 players - £100
20 players - £135-£65
30 players - £150-£90-£60
40 players - £200-£120-£80
I"d go a bit further and equalise the jumps a bit (so 150-100-50 for 30 runners), but £60ish feels like a reasonable minimum pay jump to me.
As for action, the single payment doesn"t help this in any way. The guy in 2nd may have exceptional value to make -cEV call, but the flip side is true for the player in 1st who should then be avoiding all confrontations if vulnerable. It"s like a weird reverse ICM spot, or something.
The more players that have an incentive to create action, the more action there will likely be.

Having given this quite a lot of thought i think im inclined to change my mind and agree with u. If there is enough money to make a 60-100 jump then i think it could work.
