I don't agree that tighter brackets necessarily increases spending. Lots of people will not shoot for a rank that they are certain they cannot achieve. Some people might spend more but there also will be a lot of people opting to not spend because the rewards aren't very compelling. In the end you get a handful of players spending more than they normally would while a vast amount of players will put off spending.

e.g. if rank A is 1-20 (as it is in this event) then probably 40 people who believe they have a good shot at rank A will compete for it. The others won't even attempt because they are certain they cannot achieve top 20 and therefore spend nothing. If rank A was 1-50, then maybe 150 people will try to compete for it. Now you have 150 spenders, each of them spending a bit less than the original 40 people.
