not so much live over online but number of runners
there should be a sliding scale - say top 10% get points starting from 1 to whatever..
so 59 runner event like last night - top 6 get points, 1 for 6th up to 6 for winning
414 runner event like WCOAP - top 41 get points, 1 for 41st up to 41 for the bink.

Love this. On the face of it, this could be a perfect solution.

The problem - in general, rather than specifically APAT - is that league numbers tend to decrease the further you progress through the season, significantly impacted by people stopping playing when they realise they have no chance of winning.
If the number of points were tied to the number of runners then this would lead to fewer and fewer points being available throughout the season and so this process would get accelerated.
In practice the demand for APAT seats is still high enough throughout the season for this not to cause such a large impact, but I don"t think you can take that for granted - I don"t think something should be introduced which could reduce the demand for APAT seats like this could.
But the live tournaments do have more runners than online, if the rankings continued as combined then this suggestion would rebalance the rankings a bit, and would do so in a way that would stimulate demand for the live tournaments rather than suppress it.

I wouldn"t advocate this approach for the online league - but it feels like it would be excellent for the seasonal rankings.

In season 1 I finished on the FT 5 times in 200+ runners, on line. I was beat in the rankings by someone who finished 2 times on the FT in live play.
Should be 2 separate leagues

Disagree. Online and Live are just two different variants of poker. We don"t separate rankings leagues for NLHE, PLO, HORSE, Stud, etc... In my opinion, a single league can work really well, IF we are able to get the weightings right between the variants.
