"the Main Event of the Festival, the "Riviera Cup" will be played with the new format CashPlay™"

Full rules about this format can be found here - http://www.rivieracup.com/docs/rivieracup-cashplay-rules.pdf

-----

What do you think about this format? Do you think it has future in backgammon?
It is obviously inspired by poker - will this make (tournament) backgammon more interesting to poker players, and new players in general?
No METs, no score-dependent plays, etc. = better players have smaller edge - good or bad thing?
