...Sitting out for the entire tournament with this series higher field of entries, a player would only reach the low 80's to mid 70's for position in the tournament. That would give them about 5 to 8 points depending on where they went out, which would barey add one point to a teams score. We really need not worry about a player who get 5 - 8 points do we?

This is a silly poll. I am not even gonna comment on this.

I agree it is a silly poll. come on now let poll some of relevence. If your worrying about this then you are missing the point of this league.

If you use a tourney coupon to get in the game, then you deserve to be there.

I myself wouldn't sit out unless if it were an emergency and i had to leave but i feel if they earned the points to enter the tourney they should get points but if they sit out they probably will get litlte to nothing points anyways.just my opinion

Not sure of the point of this pole. However, If i had register to play a tournament I would do just that; The only reason i would play would be either I had computer issues or god forbid an emergency

My philosphy is this...If you cannot commit to play in a game (with the exception of an emergency during the game) you should not register. But as others have stated, the sitters won't make alot of points so really not that big of a deal with the way poker.org comes up with the points at the end of a game.

One of the skins, I am not sure which when writing this, takes out the players who are sitting out after 20 minutes. I guess that would not stop them getting points but it would at least keep them down the list. There is nothing worse than a sitter getting into the later stages of a tourney because they keep catching hands when all in which keeps them in for a another few rounds.

I haven't a clue how the points work in the first place but if a player misses one game or two, yeah he(or she) should get team points as long as the person participates on a regular bases. that would make sense, but really this is a silly question. next.

No comment

Yes i don't think it hurts any one but the player who is sitting out you wont get that many points if anything it could hurt the teem points at best

They earned the points. That should be enough reason to earn the game points in my opinion.
