    i have read and seen a few people complaing about the lack of turn outs and lack of members jumping. here is a thought perhaps its cuz your not hosting enough for example today has only 1 tourney scheduled on the ladder. how can you expect to get lots of jumpers and have a large official cases ladder league when your allowing the individually run myleagues to offer far more tourneys then you are. of course its going to be far more lucrative for the members to go elsewhere when your not creating any tourneys or advertising them in the lobby. 1 tourney per day is not enough to keep a league alive and attract new members. i would personally love the idea of playing in this league far more as it is run fairly without bias like the myleagues but alas you are setting your own demise and creating the atmosphere for not having any jumpers due to a lack of interest by the td staff to set some tourneys.

      Vinnie,

      In the past, the member of the TD staff have made tournaments throughout the day, but with little success. Fortunately, all of our TDs have jobs and they do a great job of making tournaments in their available time.As you can imagine, it is impossible for tournaments to be scheduled when there are no available TDs.Our TD staff makes sure that there is at least 1 tournament scheduled nightly, at 9:00 and when available, there is another tournament scheduled at 7:00. The 7:00 tournament is not a nightly occurrence as of yet, but we are working toward that. We're aware of the fact that we have some members who participate in the Myleague tournaments as well. That is their perogative and we wish them the best. However, at this time, we cannot and will not rearrange our scheduling to accomodate those tourneys.We don't aggressively advertise in the lobby because we don't want to "step on toes", especially after Pogo's removal of the Cases Tournament room.We welcome any new players who wish to join our ladder and we hope they feel appreciated. I hope I speak for everyone when I say our ladder is about friendship as much as it is about ladder ranks.If you have trouble attending one of our scheduled tournaments, please let me know and I'll see what can be done about accomodating your available time. In the meantime, please feel free to join any of our tournaments and good luck at the tables!

        see this is where we are very different. I understand when you say your ladder is about friendship as well as ladder ranks. however with that said i must openly say im not one that has ever joined a league to make friends as i join them to simply sompete and nothing more then that. i would most certainly enjoy playing in the official cases ladder league but with a lack of td's and tournaments i really dont see the competition that there should be happening. i do understand that the td's that are here how ever few there actually are do it on there own free will and do have lives outside of this, so perhaps maybe someone should look into getting more td's so perhaps the league could get very competitive again. as i said im personally not here to make friends and dont want any i just want to come in play a good game of euchre and leave when i lose and jump the next tourney available.

          We have a very competitive ladder here...and yes that is ladder we are not a myleague. We will in time be adding a 7pm tournament to our nightly rounds...We have the right amount of TD's and i might add very good TD's for the Tournaments at this time. THe players on this ladder knows each 1 of the TD's(that is including HTD's) and knows if they ever have a problem they can come to us and we will help. To me that is more important than having 200 people of this ladder with 50 TD's. I haven't seen you around before,playing or not so I am not sure how you know so much or so little about this ladder. If it from observation,when have you observed? If you need help in registering or finding us at pogo please let me know I will be happy to help.

          Sweet
