totally wouldn't work as intended. everyone would just go there attack everyone randomly for fucks.
.
we have 0point tables, where loss is relatively small, and you lose nothing if you have 0 points. there you have practise tables.

won't this just give a greater shortage of available players for the tables? There's already a frustratingly long wait for some tables....

The practise tables would be a great place to set up kdice variations

That way we can battle with our own family members in the same house"

why would you need kdice for that?

i have a solution for fair competition in kdice but i fear - no one will listen

how to make kdice more competitive

instead of "score based" tables - we need a two level based table

a free - qualification level --- level 1
and a closed - competition level ---- level 2

u can only join a competition level (2) if u won level (1) to open it

for example:
level 1 table (open for everyone but no points no scores)
level 2 table (only open for players who won last level 1 or 2 game)

as long as u not win, u keep playing level 1 and don´t get scores and don´t lose score

after a victory u can play level 2 and get the chance to score but u go back to level 1 if u not win

and ONLY WINNER GETS POINTS OR QUALIFY FOR COMPETITION - 2nd, 3rd, 4th places and flags are valueless

and u get more points if u win couple of level 2 table games in a row:

1 point for winning level 2 1 time
7 points for winning level 2 2 times in a row
49 points for winning level 2 3 times in a row

but as soon as u NOT BECOME 1st u bump back to level 1

this system would block pga...and even more the whole flagging shit

but the current free and open system makes the whole ranks valueless

but i fear again...noone listen..."

im not listening, but im reading.
even tho im not sure i would completely like this, it is a very sophisticated and well thought-out idea that has its beauty and i think it woiuld indeed work, the way you describe it. we would have a ratio of seven level-one tables to one level-2 table. pga indeed would be hardly possible.
brilliant.
but too revolutionary, i fear.
scoring (career) would have to start over from scratch.
people wouldnt like it, it would be too hard and tedious to earn points compared to the almost inflationary way it is now.
even tho your system would actually be superior, the masses wouldnt see that and wouldnt like it because there is too little instant gratification pointwise. in the current system, a 2 or 3 feels like a little victory. in your system, ppl would feel losers 6 out of 7 games.

This is a good idea. Do you mean friendly games?
Suggestion: Maybe there could be a "friends only" table :D

no they mean a table in which there are no points involved... but if this is implemented, it would be nice to have no ip address restrictions
