NY ABT Prize concerns

I post this not bcuz I like to see things done my way, but bcuz my concerns are to have prize distributions appeal to the most players.
Most 64 player ABT events pay 7 places. 4 in main, 2 conso, 1 LC and I certainly think that is appropriate. Personally, I think that paying 1/8 of the players is ideal, but that cannot always be done in some formats.
So in a 64 player event, I don't really mind if 3/4 Conso are paid, but I prefer not since those aren't large prizes anyhow. Alternately, I don't mind if 2nd LC is paid, but again that is a small prize. However, paying 10 players in a field of 64 seems a bit much to me. Paying 10 places in the Intermediate which had only 52 entrants after rebuys seems too much.
However, the real contradiction is that only 2 places were payed in the major jackpots, both of which had 32 entrants ! Very seriously I think that 4 places should be payed in these Master's JP's noting that they have no consos. A player who the first 3 matches in one of those JP's really should win something. What is wrong with paying out 55/25/10/10 in the Masters and Amateur JP's?
.. Just my opinions .. neilkaz ..
