I think t point is that all systems are going to be seen as unfair.
At the end of the day it"s the same for every one surely?

My suggestions for the a new point structure would be as follows :
STTs 1st place - 3 points, 2nd - 2 points, 3rd - 1 point
MTT 1st place - 14 points, 2nd - 10 points, 3rd - 6 points, 4th - 4 points, 5th - 3 points, 6th -2 points, 7th - 1 point.

Found one that helps the Irish and Welsh. If the above had worked the table would have looked like this
Team NLHEPLOMTTTOTAL Scotland B741425England B26917Ireland A211417Wales B75012England A63211England C0617Scotland A3306Wales A3205

Agree with the second point, it"s same for everyone and Scotland B were by far the best team on the day and the trophy couldnt have gone to a better bunch of guys... was a privilege to have the chance to play against them.
However think the current system was pretty universally considered unsatisfactory. The lengthy STTs compromised the structure of the MTT and what was already a tournament stacked towards that became a crapshoot after a couple of levels. Our captain"s first words were forget about the STTs, it"ll be decided on the MTT, which was right... so no complaints there, but wouldnt it be a shame if everyone sat out the STTs and just focused on the MTT. Surely not what the tournament is about.
If there are to be STTs, surely they should have a significant impact on the overall result, if not... my vote would be to dispense with them and have an MTT with a better structure.
Still, when all"s said and done, great day... very worthy winners and whatever the stucture it"s a huge honour to take part.... but better structure could only improve it.
AMRN:
Ditch the MTT and introduce additional STTs, perhaps with other poker varieties included....

I disagree with all three points being made here.
Firstly, it was not universally considered unsatisfactory...I liked it. If I had any issue with the "system" it was the "apparent" arbitrary way deciding 1st & 2nd (Gold & Silver) but that had no relation to the points being awarded.
The STTs were only "lengthy" because at last two of them had long HU battles at the end...both of which went over an hour. You can"t legislate against that.
Finally, the MTT was (IMO) in no way a crapshoot...it had a decent structure and clock. The STT certainly had an impact in that having overrun we started with 5k instead of 7k but it still ran for 4 hours IIRC.
If people really want the STT to have more impact then add a couple more points to 1st (12) & 2nd (10) so that there is something to fight over instead of just a single point.
Against that, if the MTT is to have LESS impact them lets award ZERO points for finishing in the bottom half and then 1 - 20 for the MTT.
However, I"ll lay some money that if Leigh runs those numbers it will still have Scotland B winning it. There is no doubt in my mind that on the day, the best team won it.
;D
