We have introduced (G+) contests that are guaranteed at the starting amount and will grow past that size automatically. The prize pool increases and payouts adjust with every entry over the guaranteed amount. e.g. Draftstars will guarantee the prize pool for the first 200 entries, then it will increase by itself. You will see 250/200+ while in the lobby, then 250/250 when in progress. The prize payout will reflect the new prize pool amount.

YES Please

This is a feature that benefits DS disproportionately more than the users and you should really implement this ASAP to stop some headaches for yourselves.

If the prize pools are too low-balled, we will complain. If you get too aggressive with them and they don't fill, then you will be on the hook for the overlay. If a contest fills early and doesn't grow, we will complain.

Yes definitely but just make sure you adjust payouts in the same way the contest started. (or close too it)
