Oh, Josh. I never claimed to understand what you are saying.

Mark, I never said I was against bar-sponsored tournaments. I said we don't need a parallel league.

ok, I'm just going to stick to my own thread.... but I'm still going to be angling for the name change.

Hey Lenny, isn't Lesbos French for "victim of troll job"?

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.
