I don't know if this has been asked.
Is it possible to stop people that have qualified for the monthly Final from playing in the daily qualifying event?
I go to play it and find 70-80% of players are playing that have already qualified for the monthly final. These people are okay to risk their stacks, as they have already qualified for the monthly final.
If these players just want to make some quick money why not go on the (empty) 888pl exclusive sit and go's, that cost the same to play in!!

Re: Grand Final MQF qualifying!!

I am one that plays but have a ticket. I don't mind the odds when we have less than 10 runners and I can pick up $50 for $5.50 outlay. Plus if I win it means there is one less opponent for the MQF.

Re: Grand Final MQF qualifying!!
I guess it comes down to choice, I prefer not to play the MQF as more in the final means more tickets. I usually play the silver dollars & gold rush.

Re: Grand Final MQF qualifying!!
I see the point of paying your $5 to win $50 but maybe then the rules should be changed so that you can only win the
"1 seat to the MQF for every $50 in the prize pool" as advertised.
Two players that have qualified can easily conspire to eliminate players who haven't qualified and then go onto split the $50.
If not getting the number of players to cover the $50 why not combine with the AK R&A (150 players) and give away MQF for every $50 in the prize pool and distribute rest in cash.

no difference between this and a standard SNG if you want to conspire
also, i think its a bit of a long bow to draw to think that people would deliberately stop people from qualifying from in what is essentially a steps tourney
