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

How about using the Pocket 5"s ranking formula? I haven"t read up on how it has evolved, but I"m sure better, more analytical minds than mine were involved! If you need to know the thinking behind it, look here - http://www.pocketfives.com/leaderboard-formula-faq
The calculator itself and the formula can be found here - http://www.pocketfives.com/plb-calculator/
It would provide the following range of points, based on;
- The field size / buy-in examples above
- Points only awarded to ITM places (10% of field used for each example)
- £1 live = $1 online (since £ for £ the standard online is generally higher, this seems a reasonable exchange rate?)

Never been one to re-invent the wheel.

A way of countering this is to have participation points for each event and perhaps having a points booster say after every 10 events. This will reward those loyal to APAT

Participation points are a very good way of encouraging play - but a very bad way of measuring skill.
I had a thought about national ranking points for league games though.
Instead of points per game - which would horribly skew the rankings to favour online players
The final league table could be awarded national ranking points - as if it"s an additional national championship.
18 points down to 1 for the top 18 in the league:
(i) obviously a legitimate measure of skill
(ii) encourages extra participation in the league
(iii) but doesn"t excessively distort the rankings against the players who don"t play the league
2 leagues per season = 2 extra sets of National Championship ranking points to fight for
AceOnTheRiver:
Season 5 is Over, Does that mean we can have an anouncement about Season 6?
Can we?
Please?
Are we there yet?
