    Will definitely make me more likely to play ring games with real points. (rather than just with rollover points)

    I am not mad with with, I just don't agree with it.

    Also, it is the opposite to what you stated, the lower players can play at all tables, the higher players cannot play at all of the tables.

    The table name is really accurate I guess, as it is a ringed off area where the endangered species are protected.... :-)

    Same here, but it allows me to sit at the sanctuary tables, so my rating must not be that good.

    It's not in the cashier. Clink on tools, then show statistics.

    My rating is low enough to sit at the sanctuary table, I have played 7 or so tournaments and cashed in 5 of them, and have rolled over something like 600 pts, I guess because I play at low stakes I'm not playing against good competition.

    I must be missing something. A new player starts out at 1500. These sanctuary tables have been opened for newbies and slumpers. Yet, one must have a score of 1450 or lower to sit down. It looks like these new tables are not for newbies.

    If you haven't played ever, your rating is 1500.

    If you've played before, go to tools, then stats, and you can see your rating.

    Not saying that the current SBR rating system is accurate or flawed but tourney ratings are much different than ring poker ratings.

    People that are good at turbo style poker tourneys will not always be good ring poker players.

    Cheers.

    I guess this ranking only applies to ring games. I won the 10pm tourney and ranking never budged, still at 1613.

    I would not have been able to play there for a couple of hours on 10 points if it wasn't all badish players, so without it there still may have been no one at the tables.
