I think it sounds like a cool idea.... Everyone is likely going to be in the freeroll, but it's probably easier for people to pay that money as you go instead of coughing it all up at once, so this is a great way to accomplish that.
If you think about it though, this set-up actually HURTS the best players in your game and helps the weakest. Figure even the weakest is going to win at least ONCE, so everyone is going to be in the freeroll. If that's true, that means the person who won the most times will have contributed the most to the freeroll money. the guy who won the least (say, once) will have only contributed $10. Interesting. |

We are doing something similar in our weekly NL tourney. We are basically having a POY race. We give points for finishes, and put up $1 extra each. At the end of the year we will split this up among top 3. 50%/30%/20%. Only thing is towards the end if someone has no chance, they may not be putting in the extra buck, but no big deal. This helps the consistent players a bit.

Good idea
I was in a regular home game for a couple of years and each week, on top of the buy-in, we put $5 in the "pickle jar" with a post it note paper clipped onto it with our names. Once the pickle jar reached $500 (usually 4-6 months), anyone who had a name in the jar would be invited to a large tournament to play for the money. Each $5 got you 100 chips. This prevented the "occasional" player from playing once and then winning the big tourney. The more you played at the weekly games, the more chips you started with. It worked well for the two years I was playing in the game.

Any jar will do. If you do use a pickle jar, make sure you do not clean the jar before putting the money in so for the few tourneys, the winnings have an authentic dill smell...
