As it stands you have to play within the balance of your point winnings. So if you win 225 points in a tournament that is essentially your bankroll at the tables until you either:

A) Bust it
B) Roll it over

The current system causes a number of problems for people:
1)They can't combine their point winnings into one bankroll
2)They can't combine their SBR forum points with their SBR bonus poker points.

The addition of 50NL tables has alleviated a portion of the problem but the system is still clunky. My suggestions would be twofold:
1) Allow the user access to all poker point bonus balances at one time
2) Have rollover requirements continuously staggered. That is to say if your rollover winnings look like the following:
- 25/75 rolloved balance 2
- 0/450 rollover balance 150
You would be able to play with the total of 152 points. If you bust the 2 points remaining in the first rollover it stays stickied until the 75 points is finished rolling over. At that time 75 points would be available for withdrawal if you so choose from your total poker bonus balance.

In conjunction with this change you could also implement a 1x rollover requirement when transferring from SBR forum points. This 1x rollover would allow you to combine SBR forum points and SBR poker bonus points equitably while allowing a player access to all the funds at their disposal.

This system is a little fairer for the players but still requires the same rollover as far as SBR is concerned.

Wow I would assume suggestion #1 would be a no brainer. Seems the rollover could potentially influence a session as being a winning or losing.

Placing in a tourney and cashing does not directly result in an immediate winning of a prize. So when you cash in a tourney the winning players receive a prize that is more like a stake to be played at the ring tables. The higher you place, the bigger stake you receive to play at the ring tables.

Which makes the tourneys being played now more like a satellite tourney.

the rollover is easy and encourages ring game play----
