Lets give them some incentive to start at the back, or at least outside the top 10. Throw some money at them and see how they respond. We, collectively, have a year to put a handsome purse together. I'm already hemorrhging money for 8 days in January, I can surely invest another $20, $50, or $100 to watch them put on a real show, with the same probable results.

What are the odds of Sammy and Kevin starting from the front 2 rows next year? Who will complain after watching the Swindells win the Chili Bowl from the back? Are the promoters motivated to alter the format? Would it be worth the effort? I'm willing to sweeten the pot and find out.
