    I voted yes, but agree with others that it would perhaps need re-vamping. Quite like lamberts idea tbh or maybe have a Higher, Middle and Lower stakes league (top 10 from each level and format winning cash prizes, tsp tournament entry etc..)

    Either way.......I miss the league!

    I think it would be great to have the league back and is a much better way (imo) of picking players for TSP but I agree with others that it would need a re-vamp to somehow even the scores because most of us could probably name the people who will finish top 10 in each league now if the old system was used For instance maybe the cash leaderboard should be purely based on BBs so like you get X points for every pot you win that is 20-30xBB, X points for 30-50xBB pots, etc etc. If you can easily report on this in-house then maybe STT could be best ROI (minimum 1000 games for a 3 month period) Maybe something similar for MTTs too, but maybe less games required as a minimum Obviously this still favours larger volume players, and it's hard to get round that but at least it cancels out the affect of higher stakes players having a huge advantage. This is just a really quick idea thrown together in 5 mins, I'll leave you to sort the great ideas from the trash ;)

    The only problem with this is it could discourage players from playing if they hit the minimum gams played mark and have a good ROI, they may feel they are in danger of losing it and stop playing which is the opposite of what a promotion is designed to do

    What is the benefit of getting into TSP? i'm not sure what gaining this entails.

    The only thing i used to like about the league was checking how far i could get and comparing against some of the well known regs and seeing how they were matching up, i don't see how it benefits anyone but higher stakes grinders though so it's pretty useless imo.

    I would prefer KOC promos or similar on the regular where it is tiered and each level of play has a chance to make some extra £££ if they put the extra hours in.

    If the league was to be brought back it would have to be completely revamped imo.

    PS. scrap the golden ticket promo, i feel i could play this my whole life and i wouldn't win a thing with my luck...

    Bring league back, but RR should not get league points, as there is no skill involved just people with most cash pumping money in to get league points.....
