I haven't played much at Full Tilt, but I wouldn't mind a site that has a slower blind structure if we were only playing a couple games a week. If there are going to be more then 2 events a week I'd perfer the faster events.

Yeah, i was also thinking 2 events are good.....How about having them both on the weekends? One on Saturday and another on Sunday (close to the freeroll)?

As for having a slower blind structure, i think i can request that with Titan as well..so we won't have to make a switch..

The points system I think works well, but maybe there should be some kind of constant points stucture. For example, 1st,2nd, and 3rd place points should always be the same, for every league game. But I also know that the number of entries won't be the same each night, so I guess its a double edged sword. I vote to keep the points system how it is now...

Playing every night is a negativo. twice a week tops.

I don't mind transferring to another site, full tilt, stars, whatever, i'll go where this league goes.

I agree with Track on his thoughts about the first league. I think that one was awesome. A points race to the end, and then having a "final battle" where the points are doubled or whatever...That was nice.

I like the points system the way it is, though I am kind of intrigued by the suggestion of negative points (which I kind of flirted with in this league anyway .) I also agree that the frequency of the tourney is not good (too many games!), and weekends would work out better for me. Maybe having two events at the same time, but one on Saturday (buy-in) and one on Sunday (freeroll)?

People will still have conflicts (I can see that I would have occasional Sunday conflicts already), but if the final tourney game allowed double points, as someone suggested, that might give people a chance to place.

Whatever works best for everyone, but I doubt I'd be attending many games on a Saturday. If its Saturday early afternoon there is a chance, but there is no chance Saturdays nights. I love poker, but I usally go out Friday and Saturday nights. Of course if you make the games around 2am EST on Friday and Saturday nights I'm in.

Personally I perfer two weekdays like Monday and Wednesday or Tuesday and Thursday but thats just me.

Oh and by the way, I am not a fan of the negative points system idea. I do not agree with having points you earned be taken away if you have a bad night. Not all losing nights of poker are b/c you played bad. You can just have a horribly unlucky night were Thinkers K-x catches 2pair to beat your Aces. Or godlike catches 4 to a flush when you had the same hand. its just not a good way to mess with points in poker. too much luck involved.

That's a good point, Trip. After thinking it over, I agree. I'm not sure negative points are a good idea, either.

Im in the same boat, I usually not near a computer on friday and saturday nights. Mabye we could have one sunday and then find a week day to have it.

Another idea would be to have the sunday games and then rotate over the weekdays. For example if the next league is over a month, the first week the tourny could be on monday, the 2nd week on tuesday, 3rd on wedsday and 4th on thursday. That way people wouldnt get screw if the event was on a bad day.
