In Response To: About online Leagues and free BG (Mislav Radica)

I agree with Mislav in that there is a very large pre-existing player base who may only play online, and for one reason or another, does not know or hasn't considered trying live play.

The league which I am associated with plays on Yahoo and, over the years, after tons and tons of promotion, arm twisting, threats, begging, you name it, we have probably pushed a good 10 to 15 players to attend ABT events or other live events in their part of the world, on a semi regular basis. It is really great to watch the progress of these players and applaud their accomplishments over time.

So sure, even a "B" level site such as Yahoo, which does not provide a way to access dice logs, therefore, eliminating the ability to analyze, can produce some very talented live players.
