FWIW, I'm R17 (Wisdom) and usually get 1st place. I can get 4 runs out of my MP (currently 106) if I wait the 70 mins for the 14 MP to recover. If everything goes right, I'd only need 1 crystal to get 6000 pts (2, if I'm feeling impatient).

Long before I hit R17, I used quite a few more crystals, but if you rank high enough, you get plenty of them as rewards. I never really gave a second thought to using them during a tourney because of that, especially if it netted an awesome spirit. I probably netted about 40 crystals from Flower Carnival (70-ish reward crystals minus 30-ish for MP recovery) which I believe was the first touney that I spent completely in R17. If you're looking to get the top rewards, then being in R17 is pretty much a necessity.
