Ridiculous? Nah. Would have been better if the format was announced sooner, but the date has been set for months. Requiring some type of skill for the final tournament is a very nice change, as the only final to a contest, since I've played poker here, that required skill was the World Cup. Of course, it's a luck fest to get on to a team in the first place in that.
All of the donkaroos have had their share of turbo final tournaments that end up being all in/fold with half the field left. Now the people who want to actually play some poker get their turn. The good news, for those who want a bingofest instead, is that there is bound to be a bingo hall open at 5pm EST on Saturday that they can go attend instead.
