$50k HORSE event, trading disclosures

[wins_pot]

It seems like trading arrangements will be very commmon during this tournament, and very much to the disadvantage of those players who aren't trading.

I've heard that Casey Kastle has been speaking against trading in tournaments. What are some of the proposals out there? It seems to me that, in your typical 300-person $10k tournament, it is reasonable to let people trade up to 5% with another person without disclosing the trade. Any stake or trade b/w 5% and 25% should be disclosed somehow. You probably shouldn't be allowed to play in a tournament if you own 25% or more of another player.

Thoughts?

If people want to buy pieces of each other, there's nothing you can do about it. If they make a rule against it, it would just be done behind the scenes.

No way to stop it.
No way to check it.
and WHO cares if it happens----
You still need to be able to play to win----

I dont think people are going to softplay against a guy they have 25% of. Especially if they are giving up equity in getting a bracelet or a win which carries mroe then just the priz emoney.
