I have no problems with deals being done at any time, deals are even stretching into big international evens more and more.
But the general gripe seemsto be at times, that players say they are forced to deal by the structure???
What i do have a problem with however is players bitching about deals and some even forcing inexperienced players into doing a deal tha they wouldnt normally want. If players wanna deal then deal, its your bloody money i dont really care. The fact we have to payout as stated causes a few gripes as people seem to think we wont accomodate deals, wqhen really we cant anyway.
The issue with structures really isnt to discourage deals but to spread the money a little more amongst the players finishing in the top 10 for example, after all everyone who has made the final has sometimes played for a long time and usually endured a lot, to some players making the final is enough but i think its better for the playrs having a flatter structure as it encourages more play on finals instead of having people sitting back until forced to play sometimes as they want to scrape to the next payout level cos the jump is usually significant
