Ditch the MTT and introduce additional STTs, perhaps with other poker varieties included....

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.

Totally echo those sentiments... and that on the day all three medal-winning teams totally deserved to finish where they did.
However two instances stood out for me, Warren Jones" efforts in both STTs and Curly"s efforts in the PLO STT where he came back from a couple of chips early on after a tough beat to win it. But I"m sure there were many more cases during the first two rounds of STTs where people"s efforts deserved to have more bearing on the outcome than they did.

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.

Broadly agree with this also but think that with a bit of thought an even better solution could be found.
But no complaints from my part about the medallists, all thoroughly deserved. And everyone knew the stucture before hand so it was what it was. But I certainly feel the points-scoring as it stands could do with improvement and feel the debate can only improve what are great events that are a privilege to be part of.

If they won then their effort were rewarded perhaps with not enough points but there it is.
I"m unsure how coming back from a tough beat (as would seem to be implied) could even be factored into a points calculation.
Variance will even out...how you could possibly quantify one persons effort over another is, to all intents and purposes, impossible.

With a bit more tinkering, I think I"ve found a scoring system that produces a fair result.
If we leave the MTT as it stands, leave the STT scoring as it stands until the top 3, then reward 0pts for third, 20pts for second and 0pts for first, we get the following, much much fairer result

A moot point. We"d still have won the heads up to take Gold :D

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.

That happens every time. There is always one STT where the HU goes on way longer than the rest, with everyone else waiting.
