(Part 3 of what will be an occasional series on features I'd like to see added to Fantasy Sports Live. Please note that these are strictly my personal wishes, and they may or may not be something the good folks at FSL would ever consider. For all I know, they may be impractical - that's why this is a "wish" list)
If you play fantasy football at Fantasy Sports Live, you know what the payout structures are. Heads up contests pay 100% of the prize pool less contest fees to the winner (obviously). Six player contests pay two places, 66.6% and 33.3%. Ten player contests pay three spots: 50%/30%/20%.
For variety, I think it would be neat if FSL would implement two other types of contests - winner take all and double-or-nothing.
In a winner take all contest, one place would be paid (duh). For a $10+1 contest, a six player win would pay $60, a ten player win $100. Of course these contests would be insanely high variance, but a win would sure be rewarding.
In a double-or-nothing contest, half the field would get paid and would double (less contest fees) their buyin. Again at the $10+1 level, in a six player contest the top three scores would win $20; in a ten player contest five players would win $20. This would be the mirror image of a winner take all - extremely low variance.
Anyway, variety is the spice of life, here's hoping that as the user base at Fantasy Sports Live continues to explode that new and interesting contest offerings follow.

I like your ideas on the different type of payouts. I would play both of those type games.
I remeber Blinders stating they would have 40-50 player multis with very top heavy payouts. Don't know when that starts, though.
Another suggestion would be to have a $12 multi where $1 goes into a "jackpot" kitty that carrys over. The jackpot is won by achieving a certain score, or a cumulative score.
