I thought I addressed that point before, when I said most other pursuits have a ranking system, as opposed to 'who makes the most money'. A Rich List does not highlight consistency. The poker player who earns the most in live play each year has been - for a while now - whoever picks up the WSOP Main Event. Almost without exception they are far removed from the most consistent player on the circuit. They binked a major tournament. It is much simpler to skew the financials to show somethings which isn't necessarily true. Posted by Slipwater
Fair point that! I guess there is a difference between the two though. Is this leaderboard to measure skill (finishing positions) or success (what we're all playing for, money).

It's meant to be a bit of fun, in the first instance, Peter, but it does have the added bonus of being an arbitrary measure of skill. Try not to take it too seriously, mate

Haha, perhaps you're right! I am a very competitive person by nature and can get carried away at times
All right kids, we're almost ready to go with this (on Wednesday). The prizes as offered by Sky for the month of January have been added to the opening post, and - after a couple of suggestions - I have decided to go with the distribution suggested by Solack, as this does seem the fairest way.
The only problem I am having is finding a way to devise a combined table (bragging rights only for topping this one, I'm afraid). Seeing as the leaderboards are top twenty, I was thinking players should only make the combined list if they hit the top twenty in the same night, but I can't think of a way to weight it.
Something like:
Win both - 30 points ... Win one; 20th in the other - 1 point
I thought the plan was just to combine scores, so the maximum score for the combined is double what you could get in eithersingle, seems the easiest way

Lol - er, yeah.... that is much simpler than my thoughts!
I think we should start on the points already allocated in the example leaderboard on the first post - for ease of course, not because I'm biased or anything ;-)

Maybe just reverse the order tho, seems fairer to me, lol!!!
I really can't wait for this to start! That's despite me not really having a chance - I don't have the bankroll to enter the main/mini every day :-( Posted by peter27
It should be a fun incentive for a lot of players, myself included!
You certainly don't need to enter either of them every day to make an impact on the tables. A couple of decent places would be handy...

True, but I enter them less than once a week - at that rate I would have to have a 100% cash streak? Although, maybe I'll have a bigger bankroll in three months or something, anything can happen in a year - maybe I'll win the UKPC xD
