[QUOTE="shutyertrap, post: 239946, member: 134"] I think people that don't have time for all 8 tables can instead act as spoilers, which I like! Follow me here... If 10 people played all 8 tables, the same point value is available for each. So if player 1 wins 4 tables (40 points) and takes second on the other 4 (36 points), they are guaranteed to win, or possibly tie with player 2 who does the same thing. But let's say on the tables they didn't win, there were more players. Players 11-15 also happen to be really good. Player 2 still takes first on these 4 tables, but 11-15 fill in the point disparity between what used to be good enough for player 1's second place finish. So player 2 now earns 60 points on four tables, and still 36 on the other 4. Player 1 comes in 5th place now on the ones he used to have 2nd on. Suddenly he has lost big. That's just one example of having extra players on a few tables can affect the outcome. You see what I'm getting at I hope. So come play what you can, shake things up. [/QUOTE]
