What Day Should Online Series Games Be Played On?
FlyingPig73:
Maybe upcoming online event could get switched from a Saturday night to a proposed different night... This would be a test tourney to see if numbers do differ substantially.
The APAT has members from different locations accross the globe, and they would have to consider the impact upon them, and weigh up the greater good..
I agree with Sheriff"s point about the online event not growing substantially, and the demand for live events far outstripping the online series, and maybe this is becasue of the Saturday night. I do know the Saturday night is a perfect night for me.
Would it be possible to entice people to play the online series by linking a "rewards system" for playing online. So you have more chance of getting to a live event the more onlinie events. Or should they be kept totally separate?

Good luck to all playing in this event. Absolutely gutted as I cannot take part due to a family party. This will be the first APAT event I have missed, I am really sad and have no friends...

But it kind of re-inforces my original point though.

With reference to having to work, surely this reinforces Saturday night as being the best night to play on. Whether someone is playing in a country that is up to 12 hours in front or 12 hours behind - a Saturday evening here means the least likely chance that anybody in the world will have a problem because of work.
I don"t see social reasons as of as much importance - with APAt members playing poker recreationally this just means that an online APAt event is just one of the social things you could be doing every other weekend. Some things are more important - e.g. weddings, baptisms (well most family things) and others will be less important (for me things like any kind of sport, but that would be individual to each member).
The difference with work is that people have no control over it - this is why I think Saturday night remains the most logical choice (but a variation to experiment and see what affect it has isn"t a bad plan either).
