Because there was already a question if enough people competed to make it medal worthy.
There are a lot of veteran camps/high level players that only have a coupe medals. This makes it a lot easier to earn a medal.
The medals lose their worth if over half of the people participating the event receive one. Plus as the 8th seed beating the 1 seed in the playoffs means nothing at that point.
Most divisions had 2 people, some had 3, 1 had 1, so essentially you are awarding a medal for a 1-3 man tournament just because the tournament lasted 10 days.
