A good suggestion Dave, but I'd prefer (along with your suggestion) to continue on with what Todd has initiated which is an intermembership tournament--limited to us on the Chipboard. Most of us know each other personally and it makes for great comradership. Just wish more people would participate and maybe shorten the lenght of time between tournaments.

Personally, I care less about the payoffs the big tournaments offer and more about the fun we are having among ourselves but would participate in either or both.

I did play in one of the big tournaments last week ($10.00 + $1.00) and finished 134th out of about 1,300 or so but still out of the money--but even finishing in the money meant very little payoff unless one finished in the top 4 or 5th place.
