I actually hadn't had a close look at the points criteria for the European ranking till a minute ago.

here it is: http://www.pokerineurope.com/europeanrankings/pointssystem.php

I have changed my mind. The smaller buy in events should keep there ranking status. All i think it needs is a bit of tweaking.

It needs another level or two in the buy in category. e.g 10000 euro EPT Monte Carlo/5000 euro Masterclassics should not be equal to a £750 tournament at the Vic!

Also the number of runners. As the entry factor is currently
Number of Entries/ Entry Factor
 
1 - 49 / 1
50 - 99 / 2
100 - 149 / 3
150 and above / 4
 
It should continue like this...

150 - 199 / 5
200 - 249 /6

e.t.c.

The system was devised when there weren't big buy in tournaments with hundreds of runners... and just needs updating slightly!

Player of the year - Rob Hollink

Young Player of the year - Patrick Antonius

I personally think that the European ranking need a bit of a rethink! I would only make the top two events at every festival ranking events. At the moment IMHO the winner is always going to be someone who play all the smaller events in the UK. This is a bit unfair on the top players who live outside the UK like Hollink, Luske, Noah, Helppi, Antonius e.t.c who are never going to be found playing a £200 freezeout on a Mon night in Blackpool or Luton.

How come Pokerpages are soooooo slow with their updates ??  The last one was at 2.05 am.  We are getting better news from Dave, and he's in it !!  I want to go to bed !!
