Good (spoy?) point Downtown. I don't think anyone begrudges those execellent players on the Spoy leaderboard their positions there. They are well deserved indeed. I sense players would also like to see something weekly/monthly as well. Rather than either/or, why not both? Lotta brains on this site. Surely someone could think of something. ;o)

TELL'EM DOWNTOWN

way to many..and i notice 99% OF THE PEOPLE WRITING THEM HAVENT EVEN WON 1 TOURNEY...ITS NOT SPOY POINTS THAT MAKE U A BAD PLAYED ITS U,,,i heard all the excuses..like the spoy winner will be different this year .lmao wrong u can change it all u want the same top players will be there still ..and u guys will still be on the bottom makeing excuses on why u cant make the spoy..all i care about is these checks they keep sending me .... if u cant final 1 tourney a week playing 1 game a day .quit

cont..u get 400 spoy points each compared to 7200 for winning the 500 and like 10k for winning the 1k...so iam just trying to say u dont have to play all day...and for the race being over in january i came in late in sept last year and still got 28th...leave spoy alone get off its nuts u cant do it so leave it alone,,play ur game ...stop trashing them makes u guys even look more jeoulos n like a child who got picked last to play dodge ball...and dont write another blog about spoy there is con..

i play 3 tourneys a day get it through ur thick skulls its not easy ..u must win..u think people havent tryed to play them all ,,ive seen plenty of people who play every tourney..n not place top 1000 in spoy....its about winning guys ...i realy dont care for spoy..but stop crying about it ...or quit ur job for these pennys u can win here...and remember look at my stats i play both 500/1k n the high rollers thats it...u could play thoise 10# won all night u win all of them that night u get 400spo

I agree...ditto...I own and run 2 businesses,,,,I'm lucky if I can get out of my house long enough to cruise to the store. Even if I won I couldn't take a cruise.

I'm with Mike...Trash it. Why not jest a monthly leaderboard for top 100 and then playoff each month for those 100? Who wants to get hijacked on a cruise anyway...enuf of that going on at the tables ;oP

they need to trash the whole thing instead of giving the cruise to Chillshot each year. take that money and put it back into the tourneys.

Something has to be done, Spoy merely reflects volume of play and some of the leaderboard players are in so many tournaments there's no way they're playing them all. There has to more than one player on the same screen name. Also, I'm currently 47th in SPOY yet not one of the 46 players ahead of me has more money won or as high a total in 30k and 5k finishes and wins. Some have more daily tropheys and daily FTs but with less than 5% FT to trophey win ratios. Yet SPOY ranks them higher than me.

Great ideal, the way it is now proves nothing but you played a million hands, a total joke.

I've said it numerous times before. SPOY becomes completely irrelevant to nearly everyone at SC after January, and really for only the top 10 throughout the year. A very poor marketing tool especially for newcomers during the year. SPOY should be tracked WEEKLY and MONTHLY, giving everyone a chance to be relevant at different times throughout the year. Then have a year end tournament based on chips earned...and stil have the cruise thing for overall SPOY if desired.

good idea, sesible and FAIR

Keep it as it is but also have a "high rollers" spoy ladder based on your idea. Cruise for the spoy and wsop seat for high roller of the year.
