The idea is that Payout Tickets could be assigned, much like Payout Percentages under the Payout Structure system.
3-5 Entrants 100% Payout and 1 Payout Ticket
6-8 Entrants 65%, 35% Payouts and 2 Payout Tickets
9-18 Entrants 50%, 30%, 20% Payouts and 3 Payout Tickets
As it stands now, if the minimum players were set to 3 and 3 Payout Tickets were entered, then if a player was lost, registration would be closed as a Payout Ticket would have been rewarded.
There are obviously a number of other details that would likely have to be implemented, but the variable payout tickets is the goal and I would imagine extremely doable.
Thanks for your consideration.
