ollywood, It probably depends, but it would be best if every bankrollmob player can play.
Here's just a few things you need to be aware of:
* Password protected freerolls are usually a bad idea, the password(s) WILL spread on the internet. Even though this is not a freeroll, I'm sure lots of non-BRM members will still join and then it won't be as fun.
* How you plan on restricting the tournmanet to only BRM members? By tracking only? (in that case, members who already have an account NOT through BRM, will not be able to play).

Is there a way to randomly generate a password for each bankrollmob member which will work to register on the tournament? Then we can see which password is used more than once, therefore finding the leaker and also being able to un-register the outsiders from the tourney.
No idea if this is anywhere near possible, but just an idea

DIESeven, It's possible for us to generate a password for each member, yes. But I highly doubt it's possible for the pokersite to include all those passwords and I don't know if they even want to spend ressources on telling us which passwords were used more than once (if it's even possible). I'v never seen such a thing before

i think this is a good idea. but you should try to set it up with the site that supports you the most and if you want to move it between sites move down the order of sites that support you. if you need any help contact me i will try to help in some way.
brilliant idea.. i have played in forum leagues before though.. it's needs to be done right.. otherwise everything will go pear shaped in seconds.. but yeah I support this idea,

Hi Everyone!
I also have came out with this idea, I guess great minds think alike. haha okay heres how it can work and will with BRM support.
I am a computer programmer, I am more then willing to do what it takes to write a program for this or whatever I am asked to do. I seen you were talking about password protected freerolls! Bad, bad idea, best is a resricted freeroll with registed list of people that can join. Exculsively for THE MOB. Also the League should played once a week same time same day. Each game should be worth MRB points, So say you win a night, you get say 1000 points second takes 500 etc. Then at the end of each month the top say 30 players should play for a couple free bankrolls. Just an idea. But if BRM lets me in I can do all this work.
K guys let me know. I am going to report this message... BRM Admin, I work from home so I am always here. Peace Jay

As already mentioned, please keep us out of this until there's a gameplan or something ready we really don't have time to organize a tournament like this, at this time
Hoovs, your idea sounds more like a freeroll tournament for registered players. As I understand, most people in here would prefer a buy-in tournament?

These are pretty easy to set up. A lot of sites facilitate this. It would be unfair to ask Admin to do this on top of his other duties but it is easily done if someone would be dedicated enough.
In another forum, these are regularly offered to us by pokersites. On that forum, we've had a few offers of leagues for posters on that forum, with some serious value added! Now that was value! So sites are very keen to take people up on this, cos it will attract people to their site.
Also, another popular option is a heads-up league or championship. This would be a series of heads-up SnGs, best of 3 for each fixture. Obv it can be either knock-out or league format.

I can put 5 hours a week in, maybe more some weeks if needed. but I think 5 hours is enough for stats. I will need one helper/runner that will do the dirty work talking to whom ever the poker site is we work with on this. But I have a plan just need a poker SITE!! also I need to know what Admin is going to sponsor us with money/points/prizes.

As I understand, the league would be with buy-in tournaments?
My suggestion would be (nothing we've discussed in the management though), that ones winnings would count as their "score". So if I were to play and finished 6th in round 1 and won maybe $8, and finished 4th in round 2 and won $13, then my total score would be $21.
If there would be 20 rounds (for example), then the guy(s) with highest score after 20 rounds would win a prize from us (not decided / agreed on yet!!). With this model, you don't have to play EACH round to be able to keep up, but one good result might keep you in the top for a while without playing some rounds.
Just an idea, this worked pretty well for a minor club/group I was part of a few years ago (played every monday).
we really don't have time to organize a tournament like this, at this time
