so who is really in

If these are set up as freerolls, what's to prevent members and ESPECIALLY non-mebers from playing like this is Play Money? Won't that really throw off the whole thing? I guess it would even out for everyone, but from all the hating that play money gets around here (especially from you), I'm surprised you'd be for this idea.

In theory, it's not a bad one... but I can forsee all sorts of problem is there isn't some sort of entry fee for each tourney...

This is a good point.

Brian, in your example above there would still only be 9 league placings (since the other 11 are excluded) though, and we need 15 to have the points work.

how do you think we should do it then?

say like in my example you get 20 people and had to let 11 non league memebers in how do you give them points? how do you keep track of how they are doing in league?

I have an idea to deal with letting non-league members play and the point system. I don't know if it's a good idea, but it's a thought. What if the non-league members act as ringers for league memebers who can't play. So say you can't play as a league member, but you find a non-league member that can. They play and get assigned the points depending on the place they make. But those points don't go to them, they actually get "transferred" to the league member who asked that person to play. The bad thing about this idea is finding that ringer (maybe use this forum) and the skill level of the ringer. If the ringer is better than the league member it may be unfair. But maybe set up rules that you can use a ringer only so many times. I dunno, like I said, just a thought.

Very interesting idea....consider it in the mix.

I agree I hate freerolls but its not really a freeroll because you are playing to accumulate points for a big payday at end of league. If we invite the non payers to play that day it will be basicly a come 20 minutes before league to see if you can play, we all like playing together so I think people will show up just for a fun game with freinds.

I see your point about people playing it like freeroll, BUT I think most on this site would play it serious. Now if i was somewere else id be like no way but even the play money people here seem serious about poker.
