What Day Should Online Series Games Be Played On?

Also the live events have a bigger buy-in and take longer (i.e. a whole weekend).

The physical effort required for a two day event is a very valid point. The buy in I would be less concerned with as the rewards are a great deal higher live.

Fair enough, but in addition to the buy-in, a live event that is any distance from where someone lives (which will be most of them, obviously ;D), and that has the obvious expenses to go alongside the buy-in. Would £200 an event sound reasonable? If it is and someone plays 5 events - that"s £1,000. Significantly higher than the expense of playing the online events. But of course, the rewards are greater too.

haveing 1 - 18 for live and 1 - 9 for on-line gives the edge to the experienced live player. i belive the points should be the same, as its hard to get a seat at a live event so people are not given the chance to get 18 points but we are all invited to play on-line
the split games seems a good idea
we should leave the buy in the same, don"t forget this is an amature game and all though £75 is excelant value it is still out of reach for some people

At first I thought it was outweighed in favour of the live events, but after playing in the live events, I have to agree with Des and the way he has structured the tournaments and weighting....
The live events are 2 days long of arduous, endurance poker, and the points awarded should be more than the online events...
As for there being 18 points for 1st in the live events and, it has been said that this gives the experienced live player an advantage, it doesn"t... There are only 7 live events; which equal 7 x 18 -- a total of 126 points for 7 1st places, as opposed to online,, 33 x 9 --- a total of 297 for online 1st places...
This seems to suggest that it is in favour of the online experienced player...
As for £75 for the entry fee to live events, IMHO this is the best value for money tournament in the UK at the moment....The added value in the of the EPT and WSOP seats are amazing.....This is taking into account the strucure as well... If you are lucky (in my case) you get to play 2 days of poker with the chance of winning an amazing prize, and this is all for £75..
There are ways to improve everything, and this is getting right to what the members want... Personally, I would like to see more live events.... But this is upto Des, the team and the sponsors....
