been away for a long weekend so missed the start of this thread.
firstly i wouldnt favour a cash tour on principle that APAT is an amatuer organisation however my biggest gripe is that it definitely shouldnt start at brighton but only at events thatt are officially 2012 events.
the reasoning for this comes from a conversation that i had with des and a handful of very regular APATERs at manchester.
a side event for PLO was advertised for manchester on which basis people booked 2-3 nights accomodation, time off work etc. i knew of lots of people expecting the omaha game however due to a logistic error it was cancelled. after a discussion with des and the previously mentioned APATERs we were told nothing can be done however not to worry - this wont happen again in brighton. no worries time booked off work, train booked as well as accomodation and now no OMAHA again.
personally i think it is bad form to suggest this change for brighton and should be suggested for future events that people havent made financial sacrifices based on previously advertised itineries.

With respect to the above, I don"t think a Side Event was advertised &/or confirmed for Brighton.

I know Tighty was going to try to get something arranged (I haven"t bothered to read the whole of that thread again to double check) but, as I said, nothing was AFAIK ever confirmed....so perhaps booking on that basis was premature.

EDIT...Apologies...something was confirmed...

Also is there a PLO Event????

We will be looking to discuss an event for the Sunday with the Rendezvous, so confirmation to follow. However, might test a different format, investigating now.

--- End quote ---

At the moment a £25 PLO is booked in, confirmed with the venue. Even if this changes (APATs choice) there will definitely be a side event on Day 2

Surely this handles that one? It says there will be a side event, just unconfirmed as to what it will be, Des even said they were looking at trying something different...

sounds like an angle shoot to me stu.............i based my comments on a conversation between myself, des, cularge, minttrav and a few others in manchester after we were infomed only on saturday evening that the omaha had been cancelled even though we had been lead to believe different. deja-vu

Mark - the conversation in Brighton was around the fact that APAT had advertised a specific side event for Manchester and then not put it on, which I apologised for. I said we would look to avoid doing this in future, which we will. However I did not promise that we would be running a PLO in Brighton. as it transpires, we will be testing this new cash tournament format in Brighton and as per the above posts, we suggested from the outset that we were planning to test something new. We have very few opportunities to test formats and this definitely needs to be ran prior to any launch being considered for 2012.

TightEnd:
To say that a comment is an angle shoot is pretty offensive. It is nothing of the sort. I think it might be better if you want side events to be more polite. aAs it stands we are putting this on at Brighton. Nothing i Have ever said precludes that

Sort of related to this thread

What are the chances of arranging an "APAT - the cash game" at maybe the WCOAP. A standard cash game with some of the cash players from APAT playing against each other in a 50/£1 (under normal DTD rules) game would be good. We could have standard rake so it does not cost DTD anything and it"s not like they are going to be short on tables.

It would probably have to be NLHE (and maybe PLO) as this would make DTD the most money and players could make a donation to APAT at the end of their session if they wish (most players who win probably would). This would potentially make money for APAT and DTD whilst also giving APAT the cash game we have wanted for quite a while and also keeps the sharks away from our table (this might be a sticking point for DTD of course).

I would definitely come to DTD for this.

In!

Make it run constantly over the course of the week, It would make it probably the truest test of skill we have had yet....

If this could be achieved it would be great. Have wanted to do this for ages. Des/Tighty can this or anything like it be done?

If not maybe we can setup some kind of side bet based on cash success during the festival on the DTD tables.
