Default Deal or No Deal

You know my situation already and the reason I didn't join the league in the first place.

I would only be able to play till the end of this month. (4 tourneys at most)

Here's the deal I'm proposing. If I pay you $15 instead of the original league fee of $10, would I be able to receive my points for my 2 wins?

Please discuss this with all the league members before you make your decision. Thankyou.

No, sorry.... We can't just change the rules like that. I mean, how much should we charge Aeq to convert his points over from his win? And his win was an actual WIN - not just finishing in the points...

Feel free to set up a poll in a new thread if you want, but I know how I'm voting and it would take a damn near unanimous decision to change my mind... and I know that's not gonna happen.

You are still welcome to pay $10 and join the league like everyone else, with your points counting from this point forward.

What do you mean by "an ACTUAL win?" Wasn't mine a win too? I didn't get 1st, but I won 2nd & 3rd place.

As for joining the league, I'll pass. Won't be able to play more than 4 games at most. No poll needed. Sorry for even mentioning it.

No problem.

As for the win thing, I've never heard anyone - ever - say they won something when they finished second or worse. Especially in poker - 1 players wins a tournament.

For example: Joe Hachem won the 2005 WSOP. The other 560 players who cashed did not. I finished 41st in Aruba and 6th at a WSOP event last year. Both were nice cashes for me, but I would never, EVER claim that I won either of those tournaments... because I didn't!
