What Day Should Online Series Games Be Played On?

Let me throw an idea out.
What if the buy in was reduced for online ranking events to $5 and APAT held an event on a weekday night (eg, Thurs) and a weekend night (Sat or Sun).
Lets say there were 20 rounds to the online series in season two, so effectively players would have access to up to 40 events across both nights.
However, players would only be able to see their top 15 (TBC) online results count towards their overall rankings position.

Top idea, however 15 final tables would be an achievement in itself!!! Therefore would all finishing positions count? Rather than just points for final table as it is at the moment?

This is a difficult one, and a question that pops up quite often. It is obviously very difficult to get to a final table. Yet, after 25 events, nearly 200 players have scored ranking points. Yet, in our last two or three online events, several players have been appearing at their second final table.
The question for me, is how do we protect the "achievement" value of members earning ranking points, while possibly rewarding more players.
It is also important to have a different reward structure for online and live events. So I do not think we should award the same number of points for an online win and a live win.
A suggestion might be to retain the 1 to 18 points allocation for live events, while amending the online ranking points structure to 2 to 10 points for a final table and 1 point for any player who makes the money (typically down to 18 or 27) but does not make the final table.
Again, when we have some more members in the forum, we can thrown this open to a more formal process.

Has the existence of this forum been advertised? I only found out by accident, and even then struggled to find it from the APAT home page... I couldn"t find a "Forum" option in any of the menus.
Divitts.:
Thats an interesting suggestion Des. It would give anyone who cant make the saturday a midweek chance instead. I would agree that $5 is a bit low and that $10 sounds about right. :)

No Alan, the forum has only been soft launched through one email to a limited number of existing members. Once we feel comfortable that it works as it should, then we will open it up to passing traffic.
I have seen several little gremlins that we shall fix prior to launch. For example, in the top left hand corner of each thread, the member viewing information is shown as green on a grey background, and it is not possible to see the member"s name.
