Big problem with this lockout system is that it's fundamentally useless. One player cannot carry 7, so all they'll be is a hanger on that brings the party down in some way, and it just gets worse as you add more.

Zero benefit, only detracts from rewards. Good job.
The point isn't to carry. It's to allow experienced people to fill in small hole(s) in a party (e.g. Replacing an underperformer) in order to help out.
This way, people are still encouraged to earn wins without being carried.
