Integrity of the game is the main reason for overnight redraws. It's much harder to plan any form of collusion if you don't find out who will be on your table until fairly close to the start of play and if they move you around fairly often.

Good point Mr C, hadn't thought of that.

Tenuous IMO. we all know that if people want to collude then they will find a way regardless.

I guess the only argument for me would be the fact it gives you a better chance of playing against more of the players left, so effectively the luck of the draw becomes evened out. If you have had the benefit of a more easy table for a whole day you may then be moved to a more difficult one and someone else may get the benefit of said easier table.

Probably not the best time to receive the Dominos 2 for 1 Pizza offer. Guaranteed to increase the risk of tilt

I don't know how he does it. I was only railing and I woke up this morning feeling my someone else's age.

We have established that there are at least three TightEnds, so his spritely omnipresence is at least explicable.

Pretty sure there's only one tikay.

When I asked Toby Stone (TD of EPT/UKIPT) about re-draws, this is one of the main reasons given for the re-draws that occur with 24 and 16 players left. The other one being that if they only broke one table the players from that table would be at a significant disadvantage with significant money on the line.
