I get that the £5 booking fee is not popular with some people ( maybe lots of people ).
Personally I haven"t used the option yet and may never use it, but I do feel that having it there may prove beneficial at some time in the future.
But I don"t get the outright disgust at something that is simply an alternative option, if you don"t like the option don"t use it.

The disgust isn"t at it being an alternative option, the disgust is at it being the ONLY option.

Was the reservation opened before the holding tank for Scotland? If it was I can sort of see the point here, as it fills up you feel obliged to reserve a seat or risk not getting one. So you end up having to pay the extra fiver. Not a big deal obviously but the question why was the direct buyin was not available at the same time as the reservation is a good one.

As an alternative it is an EXCELLENT service. We get the fact holding tanks need to close in time to get the funds to the casino in time.
I was not sure if I could attend Coventry this year until after the holding tank closed, I therefore used the reservation service and played the event when I would have otherwise missed it.
I would not want the option to go away but still would like the option to just buy in directly.

I don"t see how the reservation method benefits APAT either, as a tournament that appeared to be full could suddenly have multiple gaps on the day. There is also a risk that, at some point, another very attractive event might be announced after the reservations are in, and a lot of reservers might decide to drop the five pounds and play the other event, leaving a half-full APAT tournament, whereas paid-up players wouldn"t switch or would sell their seat on the exchange.
