I agree with you on the rebuy part... if you are seated when the rebuy period is almost over, you are at a big disadvantage.
Then again the alternatives might like to not rebuy multiple times so they can just buyin, rebuy then addon at break and be fine with that.
in a nonrebuy tourney, I would have no problem with a alternative comes and sits at my table. Its more money for me when I win the tourney
