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.

Ok nice one Des.. Was not sure if it had been missed off for a season or two, great idea to bring it back.. Will have to dig out the horseshoe and rabbits foot again this season to give it a crack..

I wouldn"t mind a trip to Yorkshire and I"m sure they could cope but will they do it for the price APAT are willing to pay?

We drive a hard bargain in Yorkshire that"s true but im sure Des could charm them into giving him a good deal :)

[x] Schedule worth the wait!
On a selfish note, yay something in Bristol, just need to understand what it is.
On a less selfish note, Prague Poker Festival is so huge, getting in on this can only be great news for APAT.
RE The foreign events, any thoughts about satellites offering packages for these?
Really hope the LPPL will boost numbers for satellites and the online champs (assuming they aren"t all strictly pub players?).

Thanks Darren. Prague is a great scoop, and we were within a hairs breadth of being part of another seriously big world event. We"ll continue to work on that one, so no clues yet.
We will be pulling together a sat schedule for Prague and of course we hope that event will appeal to a lot of our European members and festival regulars also.
