What Day Should Online Series Games Be Played On?
blueAl:
I workshifts Monday to Friday, so Saturday nights are good for me. I"ve enjoyed playing the last few tourneys and I"d definately miss out on midwek tourney"s.
Cazzaline:
Jon MW I agree with you on this issue, in that people have to choose what is most important.
Saturday does seem the most obvious because statistically there are less people working on a Sunday than any other day.
jacko159:
There will always be people who are unable to play whichever night and whatever time the event starts but I think the current time and day are fine. I have missed events due to weddings, birthdays, wife wanting a night out, etc. but whenever I can play I do. The Association has a global membership and as such has to cater for all time zones so the current day/time is probably the best as far as this is concerned as well as affecting less people"s work and family commitments in the UK.
I think one of the reasons the online event has not increased in numbers is possibly down to newer members having no chance to make an impact on the leaderboard so they could be waiting for season 2 to start ? As mentioned elsewhere on here the difference in ranking points between live and online tourneys may also be affecting online entries.
47% of the total ranking points at the end of the season will have been won in the 7 live events where numbers are resticted. I agree that live play requires skills that cannot be used at the PC but I believe this is too large a chunk of the ranking points on offer. If the top 18 in the online events were awarded points as in the live events 19% of the total points would be won at the live events - this is probably too low, so it is a case of the correct balance being struck and I am sure Des and the team have been working on this for season 2.
Different leaderboards for live and online events would be a way forward especially if you can get the sponsors to cough up two seats on the Cruise !!!

SATURDAY NIGHT .................. POKER NIGHT
Think i"ve made my point
waltypies:
I think i have managed to make about 2 online events as its been on a Saturday. Moving the date would be awesome.
Friday nights always seem good as i am sure most people finish work for the week and would have something to do like play the APAT tourney instead of watching the crap on tv!
Weekdays would be bad IMO as i have read a few people have children so they would need to be attended to 1st!
I vote for Friday evenings or Sunday anytime as i do sod all on a Sunday (hey it is the day of rest after all)!!!! ;D ;)
Anyway whatever decision is made will have to do with me. Just please not more Saturdays :-\
