Could you not set up the freeroll tourneys where it would require an upvote on steemit to play? Post the tourneys ahead of time and make upvoting a requirement to play? Those would be the ones set up by you only, unless other hosts make it a requirement also. Couldn't you also setup a special one-time tourney where you announce it on steemit in a post, invite all who want to play to come to lucksacks? You could give each person who upvotes a generic onetime lucksacks name to let them get involved and play. Names could be something like donkey1, donkey2, etc. If they get in the money, then manually send to steemit account. Just a few thoughts.

Requiring upvotes to play = possible legal issues for the site owner.
And honestly, even if we required all players who play to upvote, there are not a lot of players in our league who have an upvote worth more than a few cents.
So the issue is, we need to attract players who have larger Steem accounts. =)
But people with larger Steem accounts don't need a few SBD from a freeroll poker site. #catch22
So, if we could just get a few to upvote daily, we'd be OK most likely. But I'd rather they also play.
Regarding some of your other thoughts...
Those things can be easily done with the solution I proposed a few times to the hosts over the last month. You guys would be the ones choosing who could play in your tourney's with your own custom inter-league type system, if you wanted, or just use the current player pool.
I've already created the tool so you all can add your own tourneys, get emailed the results and got a second batch payment tool made to give you all a few options. It's all fairly simple to use once you learn how to do it the first time.
All that would need to be done would be to add in the player selection mod and it's ready to fly and that likely wouldn't take long at all to get knocked out.
Going this route also opens up possibilities for the site to expand into other cryptocurrencies as well as a front end play chip site for fiat that could possibly support itself.
This sounds amazing! Would it change the freeroll aspect or that's up to the "hosts", who I'm assuming are the "donators" for the freerolls?
The only thing that changes in the above scenario is who is doing the payout for the freeroll. The SPL would no longer host a freeroll, and we're basically at that point now anyway due to lack of post rewards.
Might as well make the most of it! :)
lol for some reason I thought I was responding to @rawdawg
