With the debate about the merits of live vs online play, is there a case for 2 APAT series in season 2? Points earned in the live events would count towards the live event table and online points would count towards the online table. Two champions at the end of the year, who could then play heads up for the overall title.

Yes, but would they be asked to play on-line or live? or one of each etc etc.

Good point ???
coprey:
I think its as difficult to win an on-line event as it is a live one. All 150-200 players are playing within the same enviroment and the competition is tough.
I agree with previous coments that live events require more effort to attend and require more stamina, and are more expensive, but the rewards are also very attractive. The added EPT package for the winner plus £3,000. I think the live event is currently a much more attractive proposition, and the double ranking points adds to this.
The way things are at present I would not be surprised to find a Live event winner, also winning the overall series and winning an EPT seat as well as a Carribean package.
I would therefore be in favour of a similar points structure for both live and on-line events.
Of course im biased because I live further away, have some family commitments and find it difficult to travel. :)

Again im another who would prefer sundays, theres so many tournaments online on a sunday which means a lot of players will be on anyway, would prefer to do other thing on a saturday
kinboshi:
How about an additional online tourney each month (or every two months) that has a bigger buy-in and double or bonus points?
Jon MW:
Given the ethos of APAT means that it would be reasonable to expect that the majority of members have got a proper job then I think this should indicate that either Friday or Saturdays are the nights where the most people will be able to participate.
Saturday night not being convenient for social reasons is different in that you can choose not to do it, but you can"t choose not to go into work (not on a regular basis anyway, they might start getting suspicious).
If people want to enter every APAT event and want to earn the most points then that is a choice that should be made. If they look on it as more of a social, occasional online poker tournament then only entering once a month or so leaves plenty of times for other things. But if they can"t ever set aside any Saturday night for an APAT event, then clearly it"s just not that important to them. Whichever of these options is true I don"t see any reason to change what is currently a winning formula.
