Why not variable side pools?

In Response To: Why not variable side pools? (Stick)

I have been running optional variable side pools for 20 years! All I do is record what SP each player is in (they can only choose one) and then, I pay out 75%-25% to the two players who go farthest in their SP. If the top position is shared by two or more players the entire SP pot is split equally between them. If there is just one top placed player and more than one player shares the second position, the 25% is split equally.

I have in the past gone for three at the most, High, Medium and Low. This way, players can 'invest' whatever they like. I have a Registration spreadsheet that shows who is and what sum is in each pool so players can make their choice.

In some events I have actually paid out in the second round!
