In Response To: Amazing Coincidence! (Phil Simborg)

Well, your argument is basically that we should pay more places. But it doesn't really indicate anything about how many places are appropriate to pay. Just that there should always be more.

Personally I think it's pretty silly to pay 8 players in a 16 player field.
