KP,
I think you are making it overly complicated, and I don't see much upside in doing so.
First, it makes more sense that all teams knocked out in the same round get paid the same. If you try to adhere to the payout groupings given by Wargaming, you will have a team knocked out in the 2nd round that gets the same prize as a team knocked out in the first round. In fact, you could eliminate a team and end up getting awarded the same amount! When Wargaming released that prize payout, they were obviously thinking that this was a single elimination tournament. In a single elimination tournament, 3rd & 4th are the semi-finals losers. In a double elimination with >32 teams, 3rd knocks out 4th (and thus deserves a bigger prize).
Second, making the rewards based on round eliminated is a heck of a lot easier to track. You won't need to record number of wins or number of kills.
Third, this could actually penalize the teams who receive a bye (since they won't be recording any wins).
Instead, why not just make minor changes to the payout structure and get it approved by Wargaming. I think this is a good solution:

Note that the total payout remains the same in all cases (and the amounts remain very close to the original amount proposed for each place).
