How bizarre!!
Two weeks ago a points system was proposed, 3 people responded (favourably), and then no other interest.
Now with less than a week to go we seem to have a lot more interest?
Whilst this was originally suggested as just a bit of fun... I certainly feel that all events should score points equally. After all, all four events will provide a "World Champion of Amatuer Poker".
Yes, points will be a bit easier to come by in the Omaha, Stud and Razz, by virtue of the smaller field sizes. But I see nothing at all wrong with players who are "supporting APAT" and playing all four events, having a decent chance of taking this "title" and an APAT shirt.
Those that get deep into the cash in the Main Event (ie FT) are going to be well rewarded for their prowess at NLHE. I don"t think the ME winner will be too miffed at someone who can actually play more than one poker variant winning a T-shirt!
Awarding points beyond the FTs will keep more people interested... there"s nothing like seeing your name in a list to boost the ego a little! (You can"t imagine how deflated I was the other day to find that I"m not in the top 100 APAT moneywinners!! :"()
C"mon don"t be tight... lets have points down to 16th, this will likely split any ties in the case of all four events having completely different final tables.
I"m quite willing to collate all the points and post the table each day.
