APAT Season Seven Announcement
Des:
I"m pretty sure there isn"t a casino in the country that wouldn"t run APAT these days and be very happy to have got one. It"s figuring which ones to drop that"s the real issue.

And there"s the rub... really can"t argue about any of the chosen venues, they"re all spot on.

The added value is an interesting question, as is CoC.
We"ve given away thousands in free entries to everything from the WSOP main event to GPS over the years, but with very few exceptions I don"t think the winners have benefitted massively from attending, experience aside.
I was very pro sending all winners to the WCOAP last year but we decided against at the last minute. The theory in doing it this year is that having all of our main event champions under one roof for one very special event, while not necessarily offering the cash first prize of a GPS or UKIPT, will create a very prestigious event that champions can look forward to through the season, with a Vegas trip added to serious bragging rights the prize. I can see this event being the live stream of Friday night and the most popular of all time.
The content it creates will be superb and it is in this context that a CoC works for me. I wasn"t a fan of the lets get all old champs back as Brian suggested. Perhaps in our tenth year we may have an anniversary special.

Was last season the only season since the start of C o C that was missed off the schedual ?

No, a season"s CoC has only been run once before Carl, in season four. This would be the second. It"s possibly something that could become a fixture going forward, particularly given the success of the APAT Awards at DTD last WCOAP. It makes sense to really encourage all of our champions to go to the WCOAP, for a season ending finale - and in that respect, this is very much a first.
