World and European tourneys
Ironside:
paulie if the contract is set that no announcement is made 6 weeks before teh event then they need to look into the contract
remember we are amateurs some traveling from the north of scotland and even norway
its not a case of jumping in the car and driving to say birmingham or newcastle or even edinburgh (takes me longer to get to edinburgh than it would take a londoner getting to birmingham)
if the even is announced 6 weeks before hand then there is normally 2 weeks before the clickfest/draw so we have 4 weeks notice
now as a blogger at live events i would imagine that you would know that if you book a flight 6 weeks in advance you will get it much cheaper than booking it 4 weeks in advance infact i delayed booking a slight 1 week before and the price jumped up 300%
due to the nature of the APAt events its hard to justify playing £150-£180 for a flight for a £75 comp when you could of gotten the same flight for £50 2 weeks previous
then there is hotels not everyone can stay in any old cheap b&b some of us need to make sure there is access and we dont like finding out that the hotels in question are booked solid (bank holiday anyone)
i love the APAt events and what they are trying to achieve but the booking and announcing of events and seats seriously needs to be looked at to enable people who have to travel the oppotunity to make arrangements
APAT:
The delay has nothing whatsoever to do with the PokerStars contract. As Paulie might have said, he was speculating, and incorrectly.
I need to also make clear that APAT have been chomping at the bit to get this announcement out, but there are other variables in play and this is where the delay is.
I apologise to our members for this frustrating period I know you are having to go through.
dougal7878:
Could APA disclose ifit will be a 3 day event....day 1a/ b???
Bodddders:
They say no news is good news. Hmm.
They also say you need patience to play poker, well at least that ones right.
As to my guess at the venue, I"m hoping for somewhere in the south (please). London, Brighton or even Luton would be good.

London - at short notice - on a Bank Holiday weekend (if that"s still the assumed date) - I don"t think you should hope it"s there unless you have a LOT of money to spend on accommodation.
