    To Whom It May Concern:

    I had an idea today.

    You could sell an item in your store. Call it something like a Step rewind ticket.

    Something like. For 100FPPs you can trade a "step 4" ticket for 8 "step 2" tickets.

    A player who enjoyed that kind of structure could then play lots of "step 2" and "step 3" tourneys, and have another option for using his higher step tickets.

    There could be other levels of rewind etc....

    Thanks, Gomer

    P.S. I also think in general there should be more options for higher step tickets, including making them somehow negotiable. This would increase traffic in the steps system.

    I know several persons, myself included that enjoy playing with a prize structure like the steps, but are less than enchanted with the options for the higher steps. If I check my "tournament tickets for example I have a step 4 ticket that was issued in 2008.

    Give us some options, and you will see traffic in these soar.

    OK discuss.........

    ...isn't the point of the Steps structure to try to go up in Steps, not throw yourself back down the ladder once you've gotten higher?

    EDIT: I guess it makes sense if they already allow you to opt out of the Steps system by using Step 2/3/4 tickets as general tourney buy-ins. Seems like a good idea.

    I do agree that different options need to be made in order get more people in the system (not sure about this one), especially the higher steps. As is now for most people like me who cannot travel the world I stop at 4 with no incentive to try to play higher cause even if I win life gets in the way. Ive presented options in the past, particularly a post with a revamped system for other step outs to all the big tournys. With SCOOP coming now is great time to introduce more exit options (to 109s, 162s, a step 4 exit offering a 3 ticket pacakge to the 3 big sunday 215s etc) as well as numerous exits to scoop tournys - and dare I say cash steps? Many others have posted similr threads before, with similar ideas - again maybe this one time
