Nothing other than the venue and dates will be set in stone yet for that event, so let"s do what APAT do best. Discuss, listen and adapt where appropriate.

I would very much hope that this event including the format ARE set in stone.
If it were changed to NLHE, I would not attend.
I would be especially annoyed if this happened after i had booked flights / accommodation.
If it isn"t locked, this should be made abundantly clear as soon as possible and a "lock" date advised.

Totally agree here; PLO would be the reason why I would make the trip from Belgium to Dublin. If I would book today and suddenly next week they decide to change it to NLH after all, I would be very annoyed!
But since Tom announced it as PLO, that won"t change I guess...

there would be alot more who would attend and you would have no trouble selling accommodation.

Curlarge:
One thing that I would like to point out, is about the numbers of Irish based APAT players that attended recent APAT Ireland events.
Prior to last year, the 3 previous events were held in Cork, and a number of us travelled from the UK to support the event, as indeed we have and had done previously in Dublin, but to my recollection there were hardly any regular Irish based Apaters that came to Cork in any of the 3 years.
Therefore, and considering the poor numbers again last year, I really don"t see how any criticism, constructive or otherwise, is justified. For 5 years APAT have failed to capture the attention of Irish based players in the same way it has in other parts of the UK, so a change of tactics is more than fair.
I will say that these are facts and in no way is it a dig at my friends in Ireland, but if we cant even attract Apat regulars who live in Ireland, to travel to an Irish event, what chance is there of getting newbies to travel?
