Why the hard line at week 20? What if it started at 10% of the current value in week 1, and increased by 10% every week? By week 20 it would be doubled.

And since RP ain't shit, there is no big loss. People would probably get more involved in survivor if it weren't for the low payouts.

+1. Don't do anything that would make it potentially even lower.

the strange thing about Survivor is the payouts don't necessarily reflect the difficulty of the competition.
some types of leagues (notably any of the D-leagues) are more difficult than others. Some are insanely easy until the playoffs because 3/4 of the teams are all or partially CPU teams. some attract 100s of competitors and some only 10 or 12.
if GLB were to re-do the payout forumlas, they should consider each league having a base value of between perhaps 5 and 20 then multiply that base value by the # of entries to get the prize amount. Elite Leagues should be worth more than competitive leagues and competitive worth more than regular.
as for the suggestion that started this thread, a bonus for contests that go past 16 weeks would be good, too.

Because for the time investment, most leagues are not worth the small RP amount as is. The thing about week 20 is that is as good as you can do. Otherwise, I really do not see the difference in a league with 20 people to start having a winner by week 5, and one with 50 that lasted until week week 14. The reward that I started this with is simply because you got to the end, not because you won some league that may or may not be harder than others. The lowest payouts are at rookie, and we all know how completely unpredictable some of those leagues are with CPU teams routinely pulling upsets.
