Live:
I don't play too many live events so can't say much on this. Living in Essex does make one feel like a poker leper though when the nearest individual live event this season was in Coventry! I'm presuming lack of suitable venues is to blame for this rather than a general hatred of everything South East (hopefully)
It makes sense for the Worlds to be in central England but I don't think it has to be at DTD if a better option can be found elsewhere.
Please keep the medals. I managed to win one in 2010 for an online event and it's a nice memento and something I'm proud of. It'll always be there whereas the money has been long since donated back.
I like the idea of a live online league but it would probably have to be at the expense of one of the other "team" events. I think it's how you balance keeping the members happy against finding new members that will determine the outcome of this.
I would prefer to see more UK events and less overseas, but that's a selfish view as I can't ever see myself travelling abroad to play one of these events.
I haven't heard many complaints about the blind/prize structures of the live events so if it ain't broke..
Online:
I would prefer to see fewer satellites to the online championships but with seats guaranteed to encourage higher turnouts. I always feel that I have more chance with 50 runners 5 seats than 10 runners 1 seat, but the only way to get the 50 in the satellite to start with is to offer the guarantee? Maybe that's wrong, I don't know.
Online League:
Sorry this is a moan, but in my view the reason for the decline in numbers this year is because the league has been (this season) less than well-run. Much of this has been out of our control with a couple of software failures, date changes, lack of notice of new times, players unsure of what site the games would be played on and now a different start time.
I know it's difficult but I really hope next year we can stick with one sponsor and set the dates in stone at the start.
Limiting the size of teams would be a shockingly bad idea in my view. The aim is to encourage new players in, not to say "Sorry No Vacancies". Only 4 players scores count towards team points, which negates the affects of the larger teams to a degree. If as was suggested that a team could only have a maximum of ten players, you stand to lose far more members than a team of four that gives up because it apparently has no chance. Perhaps the administrators could look to re-define team boundaries in an attempt to even up the numbers a bit?
I'm sure whatever happens next season will be a good one!
PS - Don't forget Aspers Stratford East London opens soon.

Great post Brendan. Can it work organisationally?

If by "organisationally" you mean, can online software cope with the logistics?
Not really qualified to give a definitive answer other than. it depends on where the league is hosted but its not rocket science and where there"s a will there"s a way.
