Don't confuse Rudy with sense.

He thinks that table proves people play every day. He aint great with the logic stuff.

Rudy and I have disagreed in the past, but his point is solid here. To make that leaderboard, some combination of playing frequently and well is needed. The people on it currently demonstrates that some amount of skill is required, but that the current structure emphasizes participation strongly, and playing every day is more important than playing well.

Under a normal payout structure, the leaderboard would be a bit more balanced...but as it is, it's a highly visible symptom of the participation award payouts. I probably shouldn't say symptom, as only a few of us consider it a problem

It would be nice to see one L.B. including the cash games, and all tournaments including the high rollers and finals like the one Ron Paul just won. I see many tournament finalist leaving all those earned points later on the cash games to specialists like bite, austin, rudy, bigorange etc.etc.
The L.B. only shows the daily, and leaves a great deal of names out.

That would certainly be nice! Don't now how difficult it would be to implement, but might drive some more cash game activity.
