Maximum Team points for Day 2 = 126
Notes
Due to the 13 teams, we will be running a number of 7 handed STT"s. Points for those tables will be exactly the same as the 8 handed ones, without an 8th place getting 0pts.
The MTT will only alllocate points to the top 26 finishers (50% of the field). We will run hand for hand at 27 (3 tables of 9 players)
Just for consideration - would it not be fairer if both days were a bit more even in terms of the points a team can maximally score rather than total points? Awarding points to only top 18 in the MTT would mean max for a team on day 2 is 94. The current structure is set up towards making sure a lot of teams are in the running before the MTT kicks off, in fact probably all of them, which adds excitement i agree but also probably eliminates a lot of the "good work on day one" factor.
This is not criticism in any way - just hoping to open up a discussion.
And and also please, whats the call on the HU matches - how many players from each country MUST play a HU match? Will every player have to play one or will it be possible to choose the same player over and over in case of HU games that dont collide?
Thanks
