Is the WCOAP at DTD in Easter 2014?
Why does this have to be the climax?
It might be a long S7 with the climax being in November.

Des has stated that he sees the WCOAP as being the final event of the APAT season and that makes sense to me.
Assuming it"s at DTD, and I have no reason to think it won"t then we"re limited to APAT festivals over Bank Holidays.
That means either August or Easter in practical terms based on my understanding of Bank holidays . On the basis that August would be the ECOAP...the "top" festival (WCOAP) would, logically, be Easter 2014.

Most APAT seasons have ran for longer than a year. I will hazard a guess that the final event of S7 will be the WCOAP and will be in its rightful August slot for 2014.

Actually, that"s not the case. So far NONE of the seasons" schedules have covered more than 12 months.
S1 - 9/2006 -> 8/2007
S2 - 11/2007 - 11/2008
S3 - 2/2009 -> 1/2010
S4 - 3/2010 - > 1/2011
S5 - 3/2011 -> 1/2012
S6 - 4/2012 -> 4/2013
S7 - 5/2013 -> 4/2014 ??
August 2014 would enable Des to cram in some more "standard" APAT events so I would prefer that.
SirPercival:
I prefer to keep an open mind and wait for the announcements.
This thread is supposed to be a discussion and by the nature of that surly we need to consider other options that are not a repeat of the past? I wasn"t trying to speculate on what might be, I was mearly trying to open discussion.

I"m all for waiting for announcements but I like to think that we can influence the decision making process by offering options and opinions.
Anyway, I"m just speculating based on past experience....As I said, I would prefer an August "finish" to the season as I feel that stuffing, say, the S6 schedule into July - April would be a little hectic.
A June/July to August/September is much more to my liking. Heck, take the Forum event out and put it in October as it"s not a "standard" APAT event.
Just grist for t"mill. ;D
Oh...and who are you calling surly?
Robbiebox:
I agree with all those that are pushing for an earlier start. All the major UK tours (GUKPT, UKIPT & GPS) all start at midday on both day 1&2, so don"t see why APAT can"t get that.
Also would like to see a total overhaul of the online team stuff. I like the idea of running a live tourney that is based on an online league (bit like the Genting Vegas challenges) with say 4 in a team and points from the online stuff determines stack sizes. It would be fair numbers wise, encourage everyone to keep playing all league long and be a great way of introducing new players to APAT.
Omaha main event I would travel extra for. I"m not a fan of the National team comps really, so I would scrap them, but I know a fair few do like them so on balance probably worth keeping. As for venues, I would like to see nothing north of M62 or South of Luton. Keep it central and more likely to make it. Do think Leeds or Sheffield deserve a visit.

I wouldn"t describe Leeds/Sheffield as central.

Yes I agree should be described as South
