I don't browse the forum much but most of everyone's arguments are partially right and partially flawed.
I agree that the rewards drop is stupid and that it makes sense for the site, but it makes no sense for people to keep complaining. Just stop playing in them. It's not worth the time. The fact that despite the complaints these still fill up 50 people it tells SBR it's worth it for everyone so there's no need to change the structure.
As per consistency with other outside nonSBR tournaments, I agree for the most part except SBR needs to give incentives for people to play because
1. this is for points not cash and they need rollover
2. the blind structure is retarded (my least favorite is the jump from 100/200 to 150/300/25. You go from spending 300 in 1 orbit to 600-700 in 1 orbit).
3. the software itself sucks and it's a pain to play there: no timeouts at all-- can't give a 10 second bank per session?, the player notes' format doesn't save, the cash game is nonexistent
