888pl SNG madness / leaderboards for non 888pl games

Postby maccatak11 » Tue May 10, 2011 4:36 pm

Is there a way of 888pl tracking results for sit and go games over a certain period of time?

For a while now there has been 888pl Sit and Go games available to players, but to be honest i have never seen one actually fill, except when me and some friends have preorganised it on msn or whatever.

Idea:
888pl to run a sit and go madness where players play as many different sit and go games as they want within a given time period (say 2 hours).

Players would accrue points toward a leaderboard (or perhaps leaderboards for different stakes games $1, or $5 etc), or a list could be created of the top ten money winners during this time.

Perhaps this could coincide with the next online championships with a bracelet up for grabs for the winner.

If tracking of results is too hard in real time, then winners could be announced the next day (or there could be a break in the middle where an interim leaderboard is created before a final hour's dash to the finish).

It could be a good way to kickstart interest in these tables.

cool thanks for that harps

i actually think some sort of leaderboard for 888pl players playing wider 888 games would be cool - imagine having a leaderboard where you could score points playing ANY game on the 888 site.

pros - would be great at driving more traffic to the site, as the 888pl only players will venture out into the other games.

cons - would lose some of the community feel that some people like about 888.

im not talking about scrapping all 888pl only games, but running some sort of 888pl leaderboard for all games would be cool imo.

yeah this would also be good. make it opt in (some people dont like broadcasting their results), but could make it an ROI% leaderboard, or a cash won leaderboard etc

yeah opt in, doesn't have to be in terms of money won.

thinking about it though, it would have to be run on 888's side instead of 888pl - i can't imagine 888pl would love getting the results of every single tourney just on the off chance an 888pl player is playing in it.
