Series mechanics
I've been giving it some thought, and I think that there should be some financial benefit to earning points (not just the honor). Kevin had suggested giving additional starting chips in the final even based on points. I wasn't too keen on the idea, but it's growing on me. I'd like it to be a marginal advantage. For example, I wouldn't want the point leader to have such a chip advantage that he or she can be blinded into the money. What kind of premium should the chip leader have? 50% more chips? A double stack? More?

I have to lobby against this strongly. It has nothing to do with the fact that I have not amassed any winners points.
Why not use some of the supplemental $ to give a prize to the points leader? Say $50-$75 and then the rest of the supplemental $ goes to the SHOE pot. The points leader most likely paid $20-$25 in supplemental $ so now he/she will be getting that back plus a little extra. And it still gives everyone an equal shot at winning the big SHOE pot.
