Message: [QUOTE="robwhufc, post: 784835, member: 4289"] ESPN will decide what deals you can or cannot negotiate. Someone who has made a final table has zero marketable value unless the sponsor can get the logo on the telly. ESPN will decide that - they have paying advertisers who will not want competitors to be shown on people's logos. And a lot of players are sponsored anyway, is a Pokerroom player going to be able to accept a lucrative offer from Full Tilt? What do you think? I considered it, so i'm a moron? Why is it a low ridiculously low probability that someone who is able to play the 14th day of a 2 week event in July could be unable to play in both July and November? From my own personal experience, I was told a couple of years ago that my (then) 4 year old daughter had Cancer. Had I been told that on July 13th or whatever, of course I would have been devasted, but being a thousand of miles away from home with a flight booked a couple of days later, I imagine I would have played on. Had I been told the same a day before I was due to fly back out in November? I don't know, probably not. People do get hit by buses, they do contract illnesses. And what about people stranded at airports due to a Airline strike? What about people that have got jobs that don't enable them to take holidays at 4 month's notice? Surgeons? Policemen? Armed Forces? Maybe they can pack the job in if they are refused permission, and wreck their career? Is this better than having it played out in one go? I don't really know what you do (House Husband?), but not everyone can drop and go like you. I don't think that overseas players have been considered for one second (and if you read the views from European pros regarding the WSOP, they never really have been). This change is supposed to be for THIS year isn't it? The main event is early July, it's May now, so that's 2 months. Absolutely scandalous to propose a change this massive, when numerous qualification events have already been held. I hope the entries will be way down because of this. [/QUOTE]
