Ummm, because we don't always just sit idly by and wait for the timer to go down to 0. We could be involved with other things including maybe being in the middle of a big hand in another tournament. That 3 minutes can go by pretty quickly, and on BCP you really only have 2 minutes because registration ends 1 minute before the tournament starts.Quote:

have the table you are playing on in the bottom third of your page and the tourney you are regging in in the top third of the page so u can navigate between all three with ease
Can we have more of an incentive/reward to filling out the whats working info?
I personally do it just because it is good karma and I notice it is just a handful of the same people who actually bother to do it. Maybe if there was more of a reward than a few pts rebate, others would be more motivated to share that extremely useful information with everyone else.
tbh i dont even know where u fill out your whats working info any more, never bothered to look since the task ticker was introduced
Here's an idea I had that should be easy to get going since we already have a lot of the moving parts working on the site.
How about "Match Play" throughout the day? 16 players for each single-elimination tournament (you can have more than 1 tournament a day) with, lets say a 100-200 point entry. Using only the Carbon tournaments, you just have to outlast your opponent to advance, just like the LLBs. If you had a 16 person tournament, you'd be down to 8 by the 4 PM Carbon, 4 by the 7 PM, and the finals at the 10 PM.
People are always looking for ways to make a lot of points with a small investment, and I think the players would be in to this. Plus, it rewards your players that play all day as they're the only ones that could really take part in it.
What do you think?

Then you forfeit. The reason it can only really work with Carbon is you'd want to know your opponent for the next round, and it's rare that two Carbon tournaments overlap. Also, we get more people for those tournaments than any other you run.Quote:

I think the idea is sound, just its hard for people to play in all 4 Carbon tournaments.. Ur talking 12 straight hours of playing poker every time you want to play.. Maybe 2-3 people mightQuote:

OK, well this idea is in the draft stage :). Maybe you could spread it out over a few days.Quote:

You should do some kind of donkey bet tournament where people pay like 100 points to enter and get like 1000 units to use in donkey bets. At the end of the day/week the person with the most units wins the prizepool.
Edit: Thinking about it you could do the exact same thing with LLB's.
There are at least 16 degens here that would be all for it.Quote:

Ok imagine a bracket: https://encrypted-tbn3.gstatic.com/i...Bdzp7itxmRik-g
You get randomly seeded...
What we do is make it a LLB challenge..
Example: Lets say you are seeded against Prawney. Rivdee vs Prawney
- THE FIRST tournament that BOTH of you play in together, whoever Lasts Longer than the other wins and advances to the next round (Tomorrow)
- If neither of you play in the same tournament, whoever finishes higher for the day (5th place vs 15th place etc, 5th place advances)
- If neither of you play at all today, winner determined by coin flip
- In the event of a tie, whoever finished in a higher place with a larger field (5th place - 80 person field vs 5th place 60 person field, the 80 person field would advance)
Wednesday - Monday field of 64 starts to be filled for the next week
Round 1- Monday (Down to 32)
Round 2- Tuesday (Down to 16)
Round 3- Wednesday (Down to 8)
Round 4- Thursday (Down to 4)
Round 5 - Friday (Down to 2)
Round 6 - Saturday (Winner)
i think the random seeding is whack. You can rank players on here.

The cool thing is, for a very small investment of 100 pts, you could win 6400 if the tournament filled in.
I like the bracket format, players are already familiar with March Madness brackets. Looking forward to start participating in the promotion. Thanks again for your hard work Zab, Kudos to you !!Quote:

Also, a Draw I don't think we should do, think about how that effects the next round.. Someone gets a free bye
What about more poker sites? like fulltilt I LIKE THIS POKER ROOM SO MUCH!
Please
please
please! :O
Yeah but would you rather reward someone that didn't play? Luck plays a huge factor, so why not have luck of the draw?Quote:

3rd and 4th: 600 pts. (unless you want to do a 3rd place game)

1st place: 4000 pts.
This promotion has got to be called PO Madness

Say if i was to play the 1pm game and finish 1st place but my opponent didnt play, my best strategy would be to just not play the rest of the games that day because only way i could not advance is if my opponent wins a game that and i lose the coinflip.
Well there is strategy involved.. What if you play at 1pm with a field of 60 and your opponent plays the 7pm and 10pm with bigger fieldsQuote:

If people are going to pay to enter i dont think many would pay then not play atleast 1 game a day. Maybe just open up some reserves spots for the same entry fee. If both people from a game dont play then they both get eliminated and forfeit their entry fee and the first reserve advances to the 2nd round.
OK, lets not get ridiculous - you aren't finishing a tournament in 1st place :)Quote:

Zab, I like the idea of "Best finish by a loser" advances in lieu of a bye because their opponents didn't play. As long as you can override it easily, it could work.
I'm speaking frankly as someone who's done web/database development for 15 years - start simple, make sure the basic logic works and you can just override any results we need changing. Easiest way to get it off of the ground.
