Dealing with sandbaggers

At backgammon tournaments that feature both a Masters/Super Jackpot event and a Limited Jackpot event, where the Masters is "full" (as in, a nice even pretty 32-player bracket has been filled already) but the Limited is not, TDs are faced with some sticky decisions.

Is it okay to just allow sharks who are late to the party to jump into the fish pond, or do we turn them away and lose the commission?

If we do decide it is better to try to accommodate these late comers by busting up a nice and even and pretty 32-player bracket, then how do we go about doing so?
