Well then that's a start Lenny, more tournamentsand perhaps individual playas long as they're rated. I think perhaps "parallel league" isn't really the best representation of the idea, you're right Lenny. Perhaps a sort of "parallel rating system" (Mark was mentioning a sort ofladder systemmaybe?)based on individualplay, not team play... something along those lines. I think some would be happy with just having a rated-tournament every weekendtheycould choose tojoin... if we can get bars to sponsor these throughout the season and make a set schedule forthis, that would be a push in the right direction. You're always good in Tournaments Lenny, you definitely would enjoy them I'm sure. Just needs a bit of organization and allignment with the Itaewon establishments... Depending on the bar, there could be a buy-in (Say 10,000 and winnings could be split between first, second and third places...), Since a 20 or 30 person tournament would be impossible for one bar to sponsor (considering the time it would take on one table...) there could be a cap on how many players join any particular tournament (A sort of sign up sheet - first come first play)... or also multiple tournaments played in different bars on the same night... anyways, many ideas there...
Cheers~

I think first, Got to ask the league (show of hands at the banquet) , Do you want more tournaments? IF no (stop) IF yes... then flush out details with bars...
I knowthere is atleast one bar owner that would be willing to sponsor IPLtournaments on a regular basis.

I have been following this with increased interest and reading between the lines (and there are a lot of lines to read between), I propose a new executive committee of President Josh Suarez, VP Mark Barnes and Treasurer Johnny Magyaros. I think you guys might be able to persuade Lenny to be secretary too.
Hopefully this will bring like-minded people together and the healing process can begin. There needs to be more love in this league as well as fun

Oh Dom, your intentions are good but soo misguided. Clearly the Wolfman is the master of them all.

Dom,I understand the suggestion that I be the secretary for that motley crew, because someone would need to chronicle the madness, and it should be someone who actually knows how to write a coherent sentence.
However, that executive committee combination would in most likelihood lead to a double-murder double-suicide case. My suicide, of course, would come WAY before any of the murders.
