Progressive vs. traditional Last Chance

In Response To: Progressive vs. traditional Last Chance (sunny)

Is it clear that progressive last chance speeds things up? The players with one or two victories in the main/consolation get pushed back; waiting for those folks to catch up could easily end up delaying the event. In Vegas this spring, they alleviated this problem by giving byes to the zero- and one-victory players (in the advanced flight, at least), which didn't seem right to me. All the players with 1-2 records were grouped along with the 2-2 players, which seemed to fly in the face of what the "progressive" idea is supposed to achieve: greater equity for those players with better records.

My preference would be for what I perceive to be the British system: the last chance is a brand-new tournament (no progressive element); players have to register for last chance (so that no-shows do not delay the event); all brackets (open, advanced, etc.) are in one pool (which would greatly increase the prize pool); and buy-backs are allowed (which also increases the prize money).

In any case, I prefer last chance to be a "fresh start" event, so I prefer the traditional structure to a progressive one.
