table setting perameters vote

should the table be set to the minimum (on the 50's) of the table host's rating?

the present system is easily bypassed by setting a table by using a high enough nic to set a desired rating, and then simply having a partner sit at the table while the host leaves and returns with a nic with a rating which compliments the table rating, as opposed to risking staying at the table with a nic 75 to 124 pts above the minimum rating required to sit.

one school of thought would be...if a person could set a table based on a more equal rating to the rating used to set the table....more games would be played, and there would be fewer people sitting idly by in the lobby waiting for a table to be set which challenged their rating.

the present system is prejudicial to the host if he/she choses to sit, as they gamble more points to a loss than they can gain for a win, should the opponents sit with nic's that merely qualify for the table rating

to clarify the question...a yes vote means you would like to see a 1501 nic able to set a 1500 table. as would a 1549. a 1553 nic would set a 1550 rating. a no vote of course means leave things as they are.

so, of course, my vote is yes....plz change this system

i'd like to see the ability to set for different intervals:

if you are 1725, you could not only set for 1700, but for 1650, 1600, 1550, etc.

why? because sometimes you just want to attract people to the table and get a game - this is our problem in hearts. it's not so much the risk of losing points, we just want to get a game with people on an equal skill level.

i did vote yes to this. mainly because its become a feature that people have created their own fix for.

why are people voting no? please add your comments to the discussion.

I also voted yes, because I feel this would be a good change.

I dont pretend to understand the points system in hearts or spades

sure would like a post from a nay~sayer tho. if the structure and points systems are different between game formats, then this should be a euchre only poll. the only reason I can even come up with that folks would vote no is...they are a predatory player that needs this host disadvantage to boost their ratings. shed some light folks and leave a comment when you hit the NO button.

I definitely think it needs to be changed. I voted yes. This may not be the best solution, but better than the current system.

im unsure but i voted no. i think the present system is fine .i do get annoyed wen im 1774 and can only set 1650 i know there are more reasons but my head is not on form tonight i will thgink and add them soon but no keep it the way it is sorry ez

ok im back i dont see much of a difference to be honest it would only leave it harder for low nics eg: 1300s - 1449s to get a decent game

also i know its not nice but wen u host u can kick players if u think they are too low without a vote before game start

and i dont see it creating more games.people just sit in the lobby anyway i dont know y but they dont seem interested in playing dam lobby rats get up my nose when i need 1 lol

and a point was said u can set a high nic for anything in my opinion its silly if u just want a game make a new nic get it established the more nics u have u tend to have 1 for evry rating so y risk ur big points just to have a game when u can have a game anyway with a nic thats better for u at any rating u want

so i still say no i dot see a problem with the present system sozzzz again

I actually don't understand the whole system...I think it's weird and confusing....but I do know that I dis-like the fact that sometimes I have to get stuck with certain people that don't really know how to play and that messes me up cause then if my rating goes down then I can't join certain games with people I like to play with....To me this does not make any sense whatsoever...

Try, yesterday I had a P who will never learn to play well, she had a rating in the 1400's, she had played nearly 4000 games here and lost almost 3000 of them but I would like to reserve her right to keep playing. She obviously enjoys playing win or lose. These are the nice people.

That is very true Red! I agree. If you pay, you should play!
