I think that the rankings are due a revamp.
I would like to see a structure that takes into account the buyin, number of runners, whether it"s live or online.
The top 10% should earn ranking points, with a multiplier based on buyin (which would also take into account a differential between live and online)
$10 (Equivalent to Online League) = 0.5
$20 (Equivalent to Online Side Event) = 1
$50-$100 (Equivalent to Online Main Event or Live Side Event) = 1.5
$120+ (Equivalent to Live Main Event) = 2
Some examples :-
WCOAP Main Event winner (based on 400 runners) = 40x2 = 80pts
National Event winner (based on 150 runners) = 15x2 = 30pts
Online Main Event Winner (based on 80 runners) = 8x1.5 = 12pts
Online League Matchday Winner (based on 120 runners) = 12x.5 = 6pts

^^^ This scoring seems to make the online pretty irrelevant?

I wouldn"t say it"s irrelevant, but simply reflects the fewer runners and cheaper buyins.

I like the weighting system, but in the example given, one person could win 13 online league MTTs with 120 runners in each - and be outranked by someone who just plays one solitary APAT event and happens to win the WCOAP ME..... surely beating 120 runners 13 times should outweigh a single event winner?
Principle is sound - just need the weightings to be tweaked, in my opinion.
Donka:
Is there a provisional list of cities available yet for the live amateur tour? It seems like there won"t be a Scotland leg so would be keen to know the best options for travel so I have an idea where to plan for. I appreciate dates aren"t available at the moment.
Out of curiosity, any specific reason why we can"t get a leg on in Ediburgh?

We"ve run the Scottish Amateur Championship in Edinburgh in three of the last five seasons and there are absolutely no plans to not go to Scotland in season six. The Scottish leg; if not the pies, is always a cracking event.

Great news. I"ve only played the last two years in Aberdeen & Glasgow but thought after the problems last year and the tone in the thread that there wouldn"t be a Scottish event this year. I"ll be sure to spread the APAT word.
