poker league

[mrwhippy]

I play regularly in home PL and NL tournaments. I started this 2-3 years ago and at that time we were all novices. We have since then gone on at varying degrees to play online, casino etc. Some of us have played significantly more than others and have become more comfortable with the risk/money element of poker/gambling in general.
We have subsequently reached a stage where half the field want bigger entry fees/more games/quicker blinds whilst the others want to keep a nice, friendly (namby-pamby [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]) game.
Every Christmas we play a bigger game. Last year this was a 12 handed £25 no re-buy PL tourney with a slow blind structure (game lasted 6 hours!!).
This year the field is split...1/2 want to crank things up a bit, 1/2 think last year was fine, thank you very much.
I am in the process of trying to find a compromise which makes for an exciting night but doesn't exclude anyone.
One idea I have come up with is to have the same buy-in but have 5 fast NL tourneys with a points prize rather than the usual immediate cash payout. The idea would be that the player with the highest final points score would scoop the prize at the end.
My problem is that I'm not sure how to structure the points to create a situation where the mathematical winner is also the best player on the night, or even whether this is a feasible idea in the first place. The options I've thought of all have glitches so I thought I'd ask you lovely lot....
All suggestions and ideas very much appreciated. [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]
