I haven't been posting on this, but I've certainly been thinking about it. Overall I think I prefer a MTT league, but this is an interesting idea.
With regard to handicapping the levels and games (6-max, HU, FR - limit, no limit?) - I think it would be beneficial for those of you who have enough hands in each category (or even just more than 1 category) to do some checking and see how you make out at the different types. We should be able to use the data we have to properly handicap them. I'm not sure what to do about the limit level - on the one hand I can understand that it, in theory, should be easier to double-up at lower limits I'm not sure thats reason enough to handicap based on limit. Players at higher limits should be there because they are better players - the chances of doing well should be roughly the same. BB/100 is supposed to be a measure that works across limits for exactly that reason. On the other hand I understand that it might just be easier to find fish at $10NL than at $200NL - again, I'm not sure one way or the other.
We'd also be taking quite a lot on faith that people are recording and reporting everything correctly. Apart from that there are sometimes technical problems out of our control that result in the
For me I know I'm away for a while in August and won't be playing as much as I'd like - that would also make it hard for me to sign up for this.
It's an interesting idea though - I'm curious to see how it turns out.
