There's an excellent thread around here where Nightfly totted up all the stats for Gala, Notts.

To paraphrase the one & only Red-Dog (or was it his twin?), may I be the first to second that?

Now, after me, louder this time.

WHY ARE SO MANY DEALS DONE?

Cos people are scared of droppin a large chunk of potential prize money on one hand.

[mikkyT]

And why are so many deals done?...........

Because the prize structure is lame!!!! (Rinse repeat ad finitum)

paraphrasing myself Deals are done at least round these parts because there are only 3 prizes. With 4k in the kitty, first place would get 2k of it. 4th - 10th would get nadda.

At least with red-dogs proposal, you'd get a snifter of a bit of the kitty.

A lot of the regulars in Glasgow either agree with me but are too polite to stand an argue, or don't agree with me and are too rude to let me explain

[tikay]

Glasgow folks too polite? Absolutely........

Better, but with this structure deals will still inevitably done top 3.

The gaps are still too large if the intention is to totally disincentivise deal making.

[RED-DOG]

better than deals done top 8

I wouldnt want to remove dealing totally, but rather than have 7 people at the table either doing a deal or walking away with nothing is unacceptable, imo.
