Qualifiers for National events
SirPercival:
sorry if this has been raised before but....
If I have understood things correctly there will be 13 casinos running the Regional event on 6th October with potentially 80 players in each. The top 10% in each gain entry into the English National championship.
This could be as many as 104 players.
add onto that the online qualifiers that doesn"t leave much space for direct buy-ins.
Please tell me I"ve missed something.
Jon MW:
80-100 expected places for direct buy-ins

Unless all the regionals sell out, it will be something along the figure that Jon mentioned.
A question that has been asked, but not answered (as far as I"m aware) is the one relating to the number of points that will be awarded at the regional events. Will they too be awarded to the top 10% or 11%(or whatever percentage is deemed correct)?

It says on the list of Regionals that the top 9 places get ranking points. (Same as the online events in Season 1)

Yes, but I don"t think that"s been thought through properly. What if there are only 8 runners?
It would mean that towards the end of the season, people will travel to particular regional events to ensure they have a better opportunity to score points for the leaderboard.
It should really be on a pro-rata basis, in the same way the seats are allocated.
