We always seem to get the same old moans and groans about late reg - "why not have half an hour late reg?", "why is there only half an hour late reg, why not an hour?", "why not start half an hour later and have an hour late reg?". Whatever there is it seems there are always people that aren"t satisfied. Last night I decided to take my wife out for a meal and to the cinema, imagine my disappointment when I arrived home to find there wasn"t four hours late reg. Where do we draw the line? The only fair place seems to be at the advertised start time.

Whatever it is that is decided for these events should be the standard. I don"t think I was moaning or griping, I was merely pointing out that by not having late reg on this event, I and possibly others, had not been able to contribute to what was a very small pool - always good to get more people into a satellite to generate seats, but hey.

If all the APAT events were zero late reg, then expectation would have been set and I wouldn"t have bothered trying to race home for it.  However, some seem to have half hour late reg, some have one hour late reg, and this one had zero late reg. To make it worse, some get advertised with late reg, but it doesn"t materialise.   It seems that when we play on APAT's own site, we at least have consistency - when we play on WillHill, the set up of the tourney seems to change dependant on which way the wind is blowing and what the tournament admin had for breakfast that day.

Chipaccrual:
I agree with everyone"s comments on here.   ;D

It can be very frustrating at times when dealing with third party sites to get the correct tournament setup.  Although we communicate all of the details, often things get overlooked at their end, and sometimes things that we assume are standard, basically aren"t.

It is easier when we run stuff on APAT Online, as Matt is a legend in tournament setup (but even he can get frustrated at times with whoever might be doing tourney setup on the day)

The worst situation is where we advertise/promote something and it doesn"t happen.

We"d love to get hundreds of people playing these satellites, but the reality is that irrelevant of where they are being played, not many players are bothered about satelliting in.

I"ve tried to raise the discussion of satellite structures and formats on here before, but hardly anyone is bothered about that discussion either.

We"ll keep offering satellites though, but when we are only generating 4 or 5 seats in total, it does seem a little crazy.

Was there a reason why there has to be a minimum number of players in a rebuy? And if so why does that number have to be so high?
