OR.... have active TOP HOSTS on standby to play empty seats... I don't think anyone would say anything if a HOST with thier TOP name filled in for the last table. Simply have those who are available be waiting in lobby or on IM .. and give them a ring.

: Actually it has nothing to do with whether

: under.

: That's not the real problem being solved
: here. The problem is what to do when the
: number of people arriving to play EOY is not
: evenly divisible by 4. According to the
: standing rules, those 1-3 last qualified
: people who show up are denied a table. The
: rules specificially mention that this is a
: fact and to show up early.

: My understanding of Lee's proposal isn't to
: expand the field of qualifiers as I hear
: being suggested (including leaderboard
: champs) but to allow people to fill those
: spots.... like human bots.

: Had I felt free to deviate from the standing
: rules this past EOY, I would have set the

: would have taken myself out of eligibility

: fill the final table with that
: understanding.... that they are not
: qualified for the final round regardless of

: This suggestion has the least deviation from

: being unfair to those same qualified

: Lee,
: I know that the change to EOY will not be
: well liked by all. I would like all of the
: doubters to look at it this way. If one
: player has 3 names, that go to final table
: in EOM, we are losing qualifiers. (By the
: way, congrats to that person who
: accomplishes that) To bar people from the
: EOY because one player or 2 or 3 or
: whatever....qualify several times, is not
: fair to the player who qualifies one time,
: and is left out. EOY is open to all who
: qualify, and I think that all qualifiers
: should be allowed to play in recognition of
: their win(s). LB Champs I think are the next
: natural wilds, not just random ppl left in
: Lobby. Heres to the EOY of 2010

: We have decided to alter the rules a little.
: our EOY now provides for possible subs if
: needed.
: I have also added a host provision which may
: be used if needed.
