:rolleyes: Well... benefit to td is obvious. since pairs who is not doing good is cut we go to zero sub needs in later rounds.

benefit to players is they do not need suffer with bad results or unhappy partnership for very much time.

in final rounds people is excite if they make cut. and in last round it is sense of accomplishment to survive to end.

so i do 35% cuts in fishy - for this approximate doing knock out tournaments i adore very much. I also do variable cut tournaments for this to is very fun (40-30-20-10)

For people who do not like survivor then happily many other tournaments exist. but from large numbers we see in this events i think people enjoy challenge of surviving :-)

My problem with survivor tournaments is that it does not approximate anything that happens in ftf bridge; hence I have no interest in it whatsoever.

Yeah, it's kinda like running an Adv/Exp tourney here, except half of the experts can't count to 13.

In my never-to-be-humble opinion, people should just play the format they enjoy and leave the one's they dislike to those that prefer them :P. I certainly appreciate having so many options!

hrothgar - I hope you found the many reasons offered why people like Survivor format. They seem to be plentiful and there seems to be no problem filling them each day.
