    Getting the Game Numbers Up...

    So, here's a question for the players...

    The games are obviously so much better when we have a larger turn out. We have it in us. Dayum..the bounty games prove that..40-45 players! As long as we have been putting on these games there is one constant trend. People look, see only a few are in and decide to wait until just before the game begins to register. However, I have definitely noticed when a few people are pre-registered, then more and more play and we get the larger turnout.

    I've been playing with ideas in my head on how to get people to register early. I'd like to propose this initially just for the leader board games, but if it works we will use it for all games which is truly where it is needed (Omaha, Horse, Stud).

    We are thinking about offering 25 stars to any player that registers before midnight ET for the following day's game. Tell me if this is any added incentive for you.

    i was thinking that giving stars equal to the number of points earned in a game might be a good idea. i know a few people at least would love that

    I like it!

    Maybe I can get some of the stars back that I lost betting on New England! The suckers won 18 in a row and then lost the first time I bet stars on them!

    Hmmm...

    lol thats a lot more work. She'd have to credit every player vs. only the select few who register early. We don't wanna reward those who wait until the last second to regsiter. Just those who register really early
