    I know p5's has updated the requirements for a TC a couple of times over the years. I think a new update is needed. The online poker scene has changed a ton since the last update. One of the things that have happened is that virtually all the big tournaments are on 2 sites. Winning a tournament on Cake or Bodog (and to an extent Cereus) is much less prestigious that winning one on stars or FTP. I believe that award should be changed to reflect this reality. The 3 different site requirement should be dropped and a new clause requiring at least 2 wins to me on FTP/Stars should be implemented. Thoughts?

    I see what you mean but I'm not sure if it would take some of the prestige of being a triple crown winner. Regardless tho, its still a great accomplish to win 3 mtt's in 7 days.

    Totally agree with OP. Not that I have to worry about taking down 3 in one week, but if I did and they were all on stars (where I play exclusively b/c it's the best and it's hard to deposit these days) that should be a triple crown imo. Never really understood the 3 different sites requirement...

    Eh, no. If P5s do this, we will get a BUNCH of TC-winners. Like, LOTS of them. And that will ruin the TC...
    Im 100% against it.

    Well, maybe if its 3 tournaments with a 50k+ prizepool or something. Then I can support it.

    you do understand that what you're suggesting would actually make it EASIER to win a triple crown....right?

    It would be too easy but I've always thought the three site requirement was pretty gay. Just make it any sites with a larger prizepool requirement.

    easier but more relevant. few regs play sites other than PS/FTP and pretty sure if they change the 3 sites clause they can also change the prizepool or 1st place guars necessary

    I don't mind if they up the prizepool requirement, I'm not trying to make it easier, just think its stupid that people have to grind ub to get one nowadays

    Cake and Bodog are pretty much irrelevant nowadays anyways.

    europeans triple crowns are watered down when they accomplish them on sites that americans can't even play on u...the only site that americans can't play on that can sometimes put up decent numbers is party poker, but i'm not even so sure on what the landscape of that site looks like now..

    personally, i think the requirements should remain the same...the closest i ever came to a triple crown was winning a 10 k guarantee prize pool tourney on tilt and taking 2nd in the the dime on UB in a 10 day span...and a triple crown was a goal of mine in 2010. Unfortunately, i didn't achieve it and now it's one of my many goals in 2011. If the requirements for the tc are changed, a lot of ppl will not have a realistic chance at getting one. also, if the requirements are changed, many ppl will lose their triple crowns

    leave it be

    Think you shouldn't change 3 site requirement. Each year more people achieve a Triple Crown than the year before so it doesn't seem impossible to do or anything. All removing the three sites rule would do is make it easier and therefore lower the prestige. In time may have to up the prizepool requirement.

    It doesn't mean much as it is with the amount of TCs floating around and ur proposal seems to make it easier. I think 3 total wins no matter what site with same requirements but change it to 100k prize pool would be cool.

    i see the problem here but im not sure theres an easy way to really fix it. i hear people saying theres way more TCs than a few years ago, well the answers to this seems pretty obv, 1. there are A LOT more qualifying tourneys than a few years back. 2. the overall quality of players is drastically better (ie the decent players are as good if not better than a lot of the "best" players of that time) so obv there are going to be more people winning TCs.

    one solution would be to increase the prize pool requirements, but by doing this u cut out bodog and certainly cake almost all together. AP/UB would have a few but u would basically make the TC a European only thing.

    a way around this would b to make u able to double up on a site for the 3rd win, but this would probably result in just as many, if not more, winners than the way it is now. maybe if they upped the prize pool requirements, and allowed u to double up on a site, but if u used the same site twice the total prize pools of tourneys won would have to add up to 100k or something. im not sure what a good number is for that, but being able to just win 2 stars and 1 ftp tourney seems like it would happen quite frequently if there werent some other stipulation.

    instead of changing the existing TC that everyone has grown so accustomed to, pocketfives could add in like a Quadruple Crown, and a Mega Crown where u win 3 with prizepools 30k+ or 50k or sumthin. i dont get how making the triple crown easier to get makes it any more prestigous...
