Help me understand.
I already thought that the Sunday's tournament will worth double points because is a buy-in instead of a freeroll.

It wasn't going to be originally, but now it is. The points will now be doubled, that is all you need to know.

This is certainly better than the past setup, but I'm still not sure if this is the perfect setup (if that even exists) - still think that Monday should be worth points. That's not to say that i'm not happy with the changes though - I very much look forward to it.

I agree with Nick. If anything, I would like to have them both worth regular points and them both count towards the league standings. I still like the changes being made, however.

okay I am confused ...if monday does not count towards points then why does sunday have its points doubled....also I am all for posting and making it a buyin in sundays...this will stop a lot of the pw thieves and it would encourage me to post more and play more. I hate playing against a a thief ..
While on this subject I have another question. Since the theft of pw's is so prevalent has any of the poker sites ever bothered to step up to the plate and help. I know all the forums are always threatening to send names to sites but so what, I have never seen a pw thief banned from a site and its always the same people doing it, especially on Titan ...they must have an internal leak problem. I assume the forums have discussed this with the sites, what is the feedback?

Most of the sites just said that it's not their problem since you organize the tourny. You can send them a list with the eligible players and they will make the software to accept only those players.
If a pass thief enter in a tournament who is organized by Titan then they will take them out. Thet's why the thiefs stay away from the private tournaments that Titan is organizing.
The leak come from the forums players who gave passwords.

well I can agree to a point however I know for a fact that a small group on titan are quite often in tournys before the pw's are even given out.....

here is a thought ....why not kill the freerolls for oh say a month and only have the buyin and the top 5 in the buyins get into the weekly freeroll if they post for a period of 4 weeks....

after 4 weeks they need to make the top 5 again for another 4 week grace.

this allows for players who are serious to play cuz they have to do the buyin
and it also means they have to post 50 points in a week as well....

I think if you do this its less chance of a leak....someone who buys in and plays to the top 5 then does the necessary posting would in my opinion be less likely to give a password that they worked so had to get...

And i know this might seem like extra work for whomever sets up the eligible list but of you have 5 buyins then barring anyone making the final 5 more then once you will have 20 people in the first freeroll...the list of peeple will be short,. and to make things more interesting you could even have say if a player makes top 5 in 2 buy ins in a month then the player who took 6th could then be allowed to make the posts that get them into the following freeroll....this would keep those interesting in the tournys also close to the forum and active...

That sounds a bit confusing and complex. Do you really think having 1 freeroll every once in awhile is worth it? I say just stick with having all events be buy-in events. It will make it more clear to the paricipants in the league and the organizers of it as well.

BBP already made a new format for the league.
We will not have the Sunday freeroll anymore.
Instead of the freeroll we will have a buy-in with $100 added to the prize pool. You will still need 50 points to enter.

Regard to the anterior post you have made: there are freerolls on titan who have the same password every week or which annouce the password even 2 weeks before the tournament.

[hayden1009]

there are also titan thieves out ...I am also a forum moderator and recently 3 people were in the tourny 3 hours before the password was posted in the forum....the owner and forum admin were the only 2 people who knew the password and it wasnt something you would have guessed,,,when asked during the tourny they remained silent and never spoke.....
