    Future Bounty Games

    just for the record bounty games on thursdays suck!! that tournament, because of the buy-in amount and normal number of players already gets you max points in the LPL standings. bounties make the player turnout even larger thereby awarding even MORE LPL points to the top-10. it also sucks for any of us overseas who cannot play at 3:35 am or 4:45 am in Europe or mid-afternoon in Australia who are actually hoping to compete for a monthly title.

    I think that is a valid point. Let's consider making it the first Saturday night graveyard game of every month. We do struggle for more players on Sunday mornings, but the point of this game is to gain maximum points and bounties, so we would really like to keep the bounty game attached to our most popular games. Sundays are always hard to get players. Nothing new there. On the other hand, as you well know Rob, we can't please everyone, no matter how hard we try. If we make it a graveyard game, then many US players will complain it is too late for them.

    No, not a grave yard game. I'm usually too tired and already dosing off during games before that game starts so often I don't get to play them.

    If the problem is points for league play, why not just exclude the bounty game from the points race.

    And I agree with Ms Debbie, the graveyard game starts at midnight my time, too late for me.
    You don't always need cards, just courage.

    No way for Graveyard, it really doesn't need boosting, the turn outs are really good as it is.
    Maybe Bob's suggestion is the best, the bounty game doesn't count towards LPL points.

    We just don't get enough players on Sunday to make for a good bounty turnout. I don't think it is a matter of maybe this will bring more players. I think between church, sports and family days, Sundays are traditionally always very difficult to fill.

    We'd have a lot of people complaining if they didn't get points and this was a league slot. There is just no way to please everyone. (especially this week )

    Perhaps we can think about a Saturday afternoon game in a non-league spot so there is no confusion over anyone getting points.

    Personally, I think this game is a great asset to the league schedule and is further reason to play it. We can't accommodate everyone's schedule no matter how hard we try. The best we can hope for is a popular time slot.

    It would be great if everyone posted bounties amidst this discussion.

    For now, this game is scheduled for Feb 2nd during the Thursday Broadcast game. We had 40 players last week in the Thursday game and 45 and 48 during the graveyard games. Sunday had 21 players.

    Hey all, I moved this to it's own thread as we are trying to promote the bounty game and it seems everything gets derailed lately.
