Re: A Proposal For A New Way To Distribute Tournament Prizes

I think it's terrible. Making a less intuitive system would reduce the popularity of tournaments, especially with regard to TV viewers. Start explaining this system to the general public and they probably lose interest.
Keep in mind a lot of people who watch poker still have no idea why chips are valuable. They stick to phrases such as "You can't go all-in on a draw" which any regular tournament player would find patently absurd. Consequently, if you want to sell the sport you can't focus on pleasing its experts, you have to maintain a framework simple enough that everyone can get interested and excited about it.

You are forgetting that my suggestion would kick in and be over with well before it got to TV time.
