Per table prizes in Melee

By dormouse, in 1. AGoT General Discussion

So I know several people dislike the idea of people in the preliminary rounds vying for the best placement rather than trying to take the win if it looks like someone else may lock it up. I was thinking what could be done to resolve this (understand I don't honestly see this as a major issue) and came upon the idea of offering prizes to the first person at each table at the preliminary rounds. What if advance Chapter packs were given away at Gencon, or art prints, in addition to the extra points. Do people think this may encourage people to really strive for the top position?
