Games that count toward the leaderboard

Monday:
Poker.com $2.20 buyin at 10pm GMT (16:00 .com time)

Tuesday:
Poker.com $5.50 buyin at 10pm GMT (16:00 .com time)

Friday:
Cake $3.30 buyin at 8pm GMT
Poker.com $2.20 buyin at 10pm GMT (16:00 .com time)
Cake 3.30 buyin at 10pm GMT

Friday/Saturday:
Poker.com 2.20 buyin at 18:00 .com time (Sat. 2am GMT)

Out of all these games I can play the Friday Cake game (which I do). That puts me at a massive disadvantage to someone who has the opportunity to play in all events (2 am on Saturday/Sunday morining...I ask you).

I know this has always been the case but why not either ...

a) Start these games at a reasonable time (although this will directly affect our US/Canadian friends).
b) Widen the scope. Add some games which are UK friendly.
c) mLimit the number of games which count per month (i.e. 5 best scores / finishes)

Just my twopenworth........

My suggestion is: .... have no clue on how to say this.... but something like this:

If I only play (say 10 games in total for a month) and I get to the final table 5 times that should count for something....or??? I can't play all these buy-ins.... partly because of the times and partly because I don't have that much money on these sites...... anyone know what I am trying to say?????

Sounds like my last suggestion Cille (letter c). Take the top 5 results (points) from each month and these count as your score....

[alan292]

I don't think you should adjust the games to make the leaderboard work - that seems like a case of the tail wagging the dog.

I do agree however that it should be fair to players who cannot play as much. I think top 5 finishes is too narrow, but think top 10 would be about right.

[katymaty]

Probably go for top 10 as there will be nearly 30 games in a month so its only about 1/3 of your games to count

Perhaps a separate competition for each buyin (i.e., cake friday early, cake friday late, etc.)?
