Re: Monthly Contest
I'm waiting....Switch classic single-line games to weekly so that all of us old-schoolers can enjoy our favorite contest games with a chance to win that lasts longer than one week per month....Do not block my opinions on this forum.....

Appreciate the suggestion. We won't be changing our contest format immediately but this sort of feedback always helps as we plan for the future.

The Daily should at least be cumulative.....best eight out of twelve.....I'm already---all but eliminated from the monthly......My original basic membership was 13 years ago......I'm the idiot that hammered 20k single points in a 24hr period--before the 5k/day rule.....You-re not the original WEBMAN....

Maybe put a limit of 4k pts/day.....Funny how only supposedly 2500 players in the monthly---yet 90% of said players never make it into the top 10%........every month.....for years....and years....

Interesting idea to cap the points per day. I'm sure that would be popular for anyone who doesn't get multiple big hands. But people who do would probably be quite upset. I'd hate to make that rule and then have it finally be your big month.
As for reaching the top 10%, do you mean the top 10 overall? Top 10% wold be 250th place or better. You should be able to do that every 10 months or so if those numbers held up and everyone was playing equally.
If you mean the top 10 overall, then even if the same 2500 players played every month and nobody was allowed to finish in the top 10 twice, it would take 250 months (more than 10 years) for them all to reach the top 10. So you might need to lower your expectations.
Of course, there are certainly strategies that can increase your odds of having such a score. More importantly, poor strategies that will almost certainly prevent it from ever happening.
Good luck!
