i not only like the idea of a 9 point game,but i also think that
they should play the game with 6 post positions and in single
point format.
i often wonder if the game should be extended to 11 points with
the current 8 post positions and points doubled after the 1st
round.
first off,the advantage of the early post positions of post 1,2
and 3 would disappear if the game was extended to 11 points.
another thing that should be changed is the player money situation
for finishing in the money, i think that if the players only earned
money for 1st and 2nd but MORE money in a longer point played
game, then not only would the jai alai be more exciting, but the
fans would also know that there is a need to win by the player
he is betting on. (too many times have i wagered on a player
and felt after he drops a ball, he just seemed to not care and
was happy with 3rd or 4th)
i like the idea of longer games also because sometimes it seems
that a player that will not be "INTO THE GAME" the 1st
round up at times.
single games i feel are more exciting the more a player has a
chance to get up and play hard to win.
