I'm starting to figure out the prizes, and I have a couple tiny things to solve. I'd like to be transparent about this, so here's the situation.
We collected $1,725 in GC, including admin's $300 contribution, because we had 95 paid participants. We promised a minimum of $30 to everyone in Round 2, plus $15 for each Round 1 best record, plus $15 for the theme contributor for R1. All told the amount we posted to distribute originally would add up to $1,755. This leaves us $30 short. Here's how the payouts were projected based on 96 teams (it appears we did not account for the extra $15 to the theme creator, alas):

25th-28th |
$10 |
The team with the best regular season record in each of the six Round 1 themes will each receive $15 (ties split).
So, does anyone have a fair way they'd suggest to make up for the lost $30 in here? I am willing to just deduct it from my GC share as a way to avoid anyone feeling wronged, which is really not a big deal since I'll get the theme creator credits for 12 total teams anyway (it added up to $155, so really I'm fine to lose $30 off the prize money here). But I'll open it to discussion in case anyone has a good idea.
