the more I think about this, and having read all the feedback so far..... this doesn"t feel like a cash game at all - it would appear to be just a tournament by another name, with most of the usual tournament dynamics, but far more heavily taxed than any tournament I ever play in. The grinder pot would make such a huge influence that it turns the "final table" into a winner takes all STT.

I wouldn"t perceive it like that Steve. You will be playing with cash chips on a non increasing blind structure for three hours. Your investment into the Grinder pot would be £10 and if for example you were £70 up on your initial buy in there would be nothing to stop you standing at that point and walking away with your cash. It"s a slightly different concept with elements of both tournaments and cash.

Without wanting to bang the same drum again - lets not lose the side events.
I plan my APAT events as weekends now, booking days off work either side as I am sure that many do. I have done this for Brighton but will now likely be heading home after the main event. I come to APAT events to play well structured tourneys hence the Super turbo freezeout offered by the casino is not my cup of tea. I am sure the concept of it will be liked by some. I have had a good think about it but cant really work out its appeal.
I like an innovative APAT but I am really disappointed side event wont be held at Brighton. Will have to find fish at the aquarium instead.

2) If the trial works; and one way or another I"m sure we"ll learn something from it, it is likely that we would promote the idea to higher end cash players with the objective of creating a destination series for them. In that scenario I don"t see any reason why we would not retain the APAT side event also. A busy casino on a Sunday is a win win for all.

I suspect that within this target audience game/table selection skills are a considerable factor in their profitability. You take that edge away from them in the proposed format. It could be that the changing endgame dynamic may compensate, not sure how that would pan out to be honest.
How about mimicing "The Big Game" where as an added value prize we stake an Apat"er into a private cash game as "The Loose Cannon" and sell seats in the game to whomever ( ie: 5% of buy in). The cannon gets to keep profit and top performer over the series wins a seat, a trophy or
Not wanting to pour scorn over your idea Des, just thinking out loud ;)

The more I think about it, the more I like it. It will be great fun! Please don"t let Brighton be a one off.
I really want to play a season of these at the levels stated in the OP
