it is a level playing field. i guess that people are thinking about what is best for them personally, not what is best for the tournament. the twist is probably against my interests, the tweak is probably against my personal interests too. but let's start thinking more clearly and safeguard the interests of all not just one person.

Well I was thinking on the overall situation for ALL the players TBF. The 'twist' will only benefit a couple of individuals and hinder more. Go figure.

Alan - the "twist" will (potentially) benefit eight players each week for four weeks. That's 32 players.
Please remember that this is only the first week of the league!

Can I trade with Glitterbabe?...his a/c for mine thanks! Cheers.
BTW James, contrary to JJ's belief, I do appreciate you running this league and the late night updates you do. I am just offering some 'opinion' on it; that's all.

+1 again JJ is obviously just brown nosing....
Valid point 32 people will benefit so not all, it shouldnt be like that it should be 1 per person for everyone or no one
i shouldnt really keep on because i wont be taking a trade and will still play it all, i can see why its been introduced but it just doesnt appeal to me, surely it does someone though

And I thank you for sharing your opinion, Alan.
There have been a lot of points-based leagues on Sky Poker recently. I just wanted to do something different. But I appreciate it's not to everyone's taste.

What if, hypothetically speaking, you bust early in both of next week's tournaments (variance can be a cruel mistress!) and I make two final tables? Would you not be tempted...?
In Response to Re: SRL: Introducing "Free Agency" : Re:Your edit to op, If a player was unable/couldn't be bothered to play last night they can apply for your score ? If a player is unable/can't be bothered to play any of the next three weeks they cannot apply for your score ? L e V e L ? Posted by chrispip
The key difference being...
They now KNOW that they won't be able to trade in future weeks. So, if they're "unable/can't be bothered" to play in the next three weeks, they're now aware that they won't be able to improve their scores.
And, now they've been warned, they may wish to follow in the footsteps of hurst05 (i.e. if they're unable to play, they can register for both tournaments and be blinded out).
Thankfully you weren't that far ahead of me this week James - but I will be watching in future because my luck will run out - let's hope it's not the same week as you!!!
So the twist doesn't in fact save me from bottom score next week when I am on holiday, as you suggested it would do. Posted by SoLack
If you read back through the last 40+ posts, Paul, you'll see that I "compromised" and amended the rules after several players voiced their dissatisfaction with the original format.
However, I'm willing to make an exemption in your case, as you mentioned your holiday in advance. I assume that you wish to apply for a trade next week, regardless of my results?
I am so tempted to trade, as i think numbers might be lower next few weeks..........and theres no way i can do that bad again/james get so lucky................................however already 2 or more from north hav traded.........hmmmm decisions decisions Argghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
