I run a once a month poker league. I am only able to seat 30 players for a tournament. This month a husband a wife have asked me if they can share a seat. Meaning he plays a round then she plays a round. Not helping each other when one is playing.

Here are some details...
1. They both want to play but replied too late and only have a seat for one.
2. They are going on vacation next week and want to save money - Buyin is $60
3. They are both dead money - I have only seen him cash once in a tournament in the 3 years I have played with him and never seen her cash.

My take - I am usually a softy for things like this but I run my tournaments and league very professionally and fairly strict and do not want to sway from that. Everyone that plays in my tournamets knows exactly what to expect when they show up to play. Don't get me wrong I am no dictator, but very adament on what happens in my poker room. With money involved I feel it has to be done this way to make it fair for everyone involved. In my head I think I have already decided to not let this happen even if it means he bails from the tournament and I have to fill an empty seat before Sat evening.

I just want to hear a few other opinions before I reply to his email.
