(2) Given that bracket shares will be based on participating CP, I think lower brackets will have very little SPS shares, potentially making them uninteresting for players to participate. I'd like the team to run some analyses to make sure this is the right reward calculation.
I think this is an important point.
If players believe that less CP will be used for their "naturally-preferred" bracket, then they are more likely to choose a different bracket to "beat the pack" so the rewards will simply gravitate to wherever Black Foil cards and Wild cards get used most ...
The CP-based formula seems likely to create a death spiral mechanic for smaller leagues - and eventually max level wild botted format is going to absorb most of the pool.

I'd prefer to remove this dynamic CP part and just go back to a small fixed pools to start with; and revisit them each season after we get some data on participation and earning levels.
I will still vote for the overall concept but ideally we give the team discretion to allocate between the brackets at their discretion for the duration of the test period (since they have all the data and can react faster than a DAO proposal).
