Commissions versus overrides

Hi,
First, let me say that setting things up to this point has been extremely simple and straight forward. I have been reading the docs and understand Affiliates Enterprise is very strong with features, but I am having a problem determining how to apply the settings for my desired output even though I can see the individual pieces fine.

I have 10 tiers and do not plan to support more than that.

Here are the commission rules I am attempting to apply:
For Product A:
1. Sales people receive 20% on direct sales
2. Any affiliate a salesperson signs up receives 10% on their direct sales
3. An affiliate signed up by another affiliate receives 10% on their direct sales
4. Salespeople also receive 5% on any of their downline affiliates’ sales regardless of what tier the affiliate is on
5. Affiliates receive 5% override on their 1st downline tier affiliates’ sales.
6. Affiliates receive 1% override on their 2nd and beyond downline tier affiliates’ sales.

Example 1:
A sale made by an affiliate just below a salesperson will result in 10% to the affiliate and 5% to the salesperson

Example 2:
A sale made by an affiliate signed up by another affiliate under a salesperson will result in 5% to the salesperson, 5% to the affiliate who signed up the affiliate making the sale and 10% to the affiliate making the sale

Example 3:
A sales made by an affiliate who is tier 10 who was signed up by affiliates that signed up affiliates all the way up to the affiliate signed up by a salesperson should result in the salesperson receiving 5%, the affiliate in tier 10 who made the sale receiving 10%, the tier 9 affiliate who signed up the affiliate making the sale receiving 5% and all the affiliates on tier 2 through 8 receiving 1%

I cannot seem to get the tier/rates to work correctly in this combination. What am I missing? Also, is there a wa to limit the number of people in the downline who get the 1% override?
