Do you want to get rid of the end of the year category payouts? This would end the winnings for each win that you have at the end of the season. The thought here would be that we would then increase the spoils for the two WS participants.
I am going to leave it with this for now. There has been discussions about getting rid of the money for 3-7. By doing that though we would also need to end the playoffs for 3-7 because you would be asking those teams to play to lose. Right now the draft order is set for those teams by how they do in the consolation playoffs. Without the money they would only play for draft slot, and obviously in that case it is better for them to lose. So, we will see how this poll ends up and revisit this side of things later on if necessary.

I say keep money for 1-4 and get rid of category payouts. I like category payouts for the winners of each category over the course of the whole season. Doesn't have to be much, but a little something

I kinda like that idea as well, would keep teams that are out of the running at least somewhat interested if they have a chance at a category.

Most teams not in the running are not going to be in the running to win a category in all likelihood. In fact, I would bet very few if any teams in the 10-20 place range would really be in the running for a category. And if they were, why should they try to win a week instead of trying to load up their lineup with players that could help in the category? Without any real incentive to win, why shouldn't a team in that 10-20 range try to win? It only benefits them to lose.
I'm not saying any of us would do that, but it sure would be a strong temptation to do so. Which is why I've always thought the payout for wins at least minimizes that temptation. If we eliminate the win payout as it appears we will, I don't think instituting a payout for category wins is worth voting on. After all, one argument for eliminating the wins payout is that it does not amount to much money in the big scheme of things. Neither will the category payouts.

I am in a couple of leagues that do that as well. Can't say that I am for it in this league though. To make it worth while we would have to pay at least $20 for each category to be relevant, and really should make it more. If we made it $20 that would be $240 in payouts. That would eat up a good portion of the money gained by eliminating the category payouts, and from my recollection the driving force behind getting rid of the cat payouts was to have more dough for the champions.

Ya, on second thought I don't want any payouts for categories.

I'm not in favor of category payouts.
