What Day Should Online Series Games Be Played On?

[Bodddders]

As the person who started this thread its interesting to see peoples thoughts.
I realise eveyone has different obligations and maybe in my original statement I was being somewhat selfish (as Saturdays are not my favourite day to play online).

It seems for season 2 Apat have taken onboard lots of ideas from across this forum and one of these is that the online series will take place on Thursdays and Saturdays.
Well as they say the "proof of the pudding". So which day will attract the biggest field. Personally I will endeavour to play on both nights (if she lets me) and cant wait for season 2 to start.

Just to add my input

My participation in the online series is a bit sketchy as Friday/Saturday nights really should be social evenings for me. So i play when i can and i try not to re-arrange my life around poker (although it sometimes seems like i do).

I would prefer a different night and i do work fulltime in a fairly stressful job, but i play most poker on weeknights/sunday.

I realise you can"t please everybody but you asked for input so here it is.

If it stays on a saturday i will play when i can.

Thanks Dean and welcome aboard.

We have tried to offer a wider choice by having the events on both a Thursday and Saturday night, once a fortnight.  The entry fee will reduce to $10 + $1 so that we don"t stretch anyone who wants to play both.  Similarly, the rankings will now be decided by each player"s top twenty results, with a maximum of 5 live being eligible.

It"s not perfect, but it will allow those with busy Saturday nights to stay involved.

That seems fair enough

Not too bothered about the buy-in but i like the idea of so many results counting so that people who can"t make every single tourney still have a chance of making an impression on the leaderboard.

Cheers for the welcome

seeing as only 5 live scores count why can it be made that only 10 scores from a midweek or weekend event count too

Somebody might only be able to play on the Thursday ones and no live, this way they can still get 20 results.

But they would have an unfair advantage because of the extra points in live

I see that this answers my question (on another thread) as to why the entry fee was reduced. Isn"t this something that the membership could have been consulted about? The question could have been put, with jeopardising any negotiations that were ongoing.

It does favour online players, but didnt this years? and the winner looks like being a player who has done very well live?
