That's too bad. I think someone ran an Idol contest last year, but it was on the last 12 I believe, and if your person lost, then you sent a $1 chip to each one that didn't lose. So the most it could cost any one person was 12 $1 chips. Of course, if your pick won you ended up with 12 chips. I think that was how it worked. I'm sure someone will let us know if I got it wrong.
