1 I'm not against trying the 11v11 limit. But the "large rooms kills small rooms" attitude is wrong and confused no matter how many times its expressed. 1 I'm not against trying the 11v11 limit.

3 In BAR you can choose from multiple large or (active!) small rooms anytime you like, and people still overwhelmingly go for larger rooms. How can you argue this isn't just a reflection that most people like large rooms? Yet still people claim the greater popularity of large rooms in ZK is because they sucked the life out of the small rooms. But we have evidence sitting right there, of an almost identical game, that this isn't the case! 3 In BAR you can choose from multiple large or (active!) small rooms anytime you like, and people still overwhelmingly go for larger rooms.

5 I play both, and often you'll find people in the small rooms that currently prefer large rooms and are just trying something new. The large rooms actually help the small rooms! 5 I play both, and often you'll find people in the small rooms that currently prefer large rooms and are just trying something new.

7 Billiards has two versions, pool, which is popular and easier, and snooker, which is more obscure and arguably much more challenging. At billiards halls, you'll find pool has way more people. But restricting pool is obviously a stupid way to grow snooker. Besides it being a bit like forcibly telling people what they're meant to be doing for fun ( !) , you're basically killing off your gateway drug for the thing you want them to play. I don't think small rooms purists ever consider that many small rooms players were either introduced to a game via large rooms, or are in the small rooms because they just want a break from large rooms which they also enjoy. 7 Billiards has two versions, pool, which is popular and easier, and snooker, which is more obscure and arguably much more challenging.

And both would not be in the game at all if the large room wasn't there to attract them.

9 Promoting small rooms is great, telling people to "get over" what they enjoy so they do what you think they should enjoy IS NOT THE WAY. 9 Promoting small rooms is great, telling people to "get over" what they enjoy so they do what you think they should enjoy IS NOT THE WAY.
