Season Seven Seat Reservation
Curlarge:
It would seem to me that we need to start at 2pm on day 1, and not 2.30.
This allows for a 45 min break after level 6, so 6.45ish (assuming we start on time and have a 15 min break after level 3) thus allowing both dealers and players to partake of sustenance as they see fit. This would also see a normalish finishing time of 12.30/1am
It also allows for players to have a chat with newbies, as well as old friends, which is something that only seems to happen for those of us that know each other well. I am sure that newbies feel on the outside sometimes when they don"t really know anyone.
It might be nice for one or two of the more established members to do a "meet and greet" in the break to answer questions about APAT and also allow newbies to meet other newbies and start to form the types of friendships that many of us enjoy. I"m happy to start the ball rolling in Coventry, if it"s do-able.
The lack of a proper break has, imho, been a contributory factor to some friendships being lost, particularly when people bust early and decide to go home. At least with a decent break the APAT camaraderie can still flourish and hopefully numbers will increase as a result.

Im sure this has been asked before, but why cant we start Day 1/2 at 1pm instead of 2:30pm??
Seems really pointless to waste so much of the day, as once up showered and fed, i find myself hangin around waiting for day 2s to start. This is with 5am sleeps after late night degenning, so sure those that actually go to bed at a reasonable time must be twiddling their thumbs.
We know that the events seem to have a super nitty final 2 tables to a winner, so surely by doing this we could all be home that hr or so earlier for work on the monday?

I"m very keen on the return of the buffet break.
If last weekend taught me one thing, it was that not getting a proper meal each day is really not very good for you. I think dropping a level to include a proper dinner break is actually a step forward.

It"s a question of staffing the tables with dealers, arranging bar service and valet cover for the extra time.
It could be done, I suppose, subject to the casinos being agreeable but I suspect the vig would have to rise.

Fair enough, i only wondered as APAT is the only Tour that starts this late (that ive played in)
UKIPTs, GPS, etc all start earlier from my memory so it obv can be done
