making tournament more attractive to money players

There are many things that are strange to me about this:
1) If one wants to play money matches why does one need a money match tournament to do that at all?
2) This is aimed at money players. If you much prefer money matches you may not like all the shifting values of points that happens in match play. But your system has that shifting as well. For example if down 15 - 0 you have an automatic double. The strategy seems much more like a complicated match than money play. In the last game after time has expired the cube could be dead
3) You assert that it is but I don't see how this payout structure is much easier to comprehend for poker players and newbies compared to just a regular tournament match to say 9 points.
4) In normal money play what is important is the difference not the ratio of points. Why should a 20 - 12 win gain the same number of $ as a 10 - 6 win or even more bizarrely as a 20 - 19 win from a 1 point tiebreak?
5) "Players are clocked so there is no stalling. 12 second delay and a total of 5 minutes in the bank."
There absolutely would still be strategic stalling. For example if one is up say 10 - 0 and have a won position should try to make it be the last game. Having to play one extra game could only hurt you. Could lead to something like using the full 12 seconds on a forced play.
