i would think of it on the flip side, and say that it is more advantageous to get people to cross that boundary into the group that DO financially support 888pl in a way. and give them incentives to do so.

"why should these people get ANYTHING?!?!?!?!"
they are made to work bloody hard if thats the way they choose to play. it is possible to qualify for finals and prizes whilst not paying a cent, but i would say that it is much easier to financially support the venue.
it should be a similar thing with the online games. at present, the rebuy games are a loophole.

yep, this is true. i can't begrudge a person that uses the current system to their advantage. but on a forum such as this, it is a great place to come up with improvements. i can think of numerous examples where us forumers had an influence on the competition we play in (which is awesome, and a credit to garth and other management)
