It"s great to have all the variations of side events, but it"s interesting to see that the biggest number of runners so far is for a NLHE event on a Tuesday afternoon.

Indeed.
I"m sure there are a number of factors at play here.
I know that we missed quite a few players to the Vic on Saturday as they had a 10k guarantee event on and they absolutely smashed it with a prizepool (I understand) of c.80k.
Of course, these variations aren"t seen very often anywhere on a regular basis, certainly not with the deep structures that APAT offers, and so arguably, the deep player pool isn"t there...at least as much as we might hope.
Another thing is, and I know this is a concern to the PTB, APAT doesn"t really have a reliable medium to promote this to the unknowing masses.
The forum caters to it"s existing player / user base. Facebook isn"t really the medium (forget Twitter) and it requires the user to know about APAT already and casinos don"t always promote in house although Aspers did run satellites for Main Event.
It"s a delicate operation and I"m not privy to the behind the scenes goings on...you would probably have more insight than me there Leigh.
It would be nice to find another robust medium to provide these updates in a structured linear fashion above, beyond and in addition to the forum with the same level of detail as I know we like but I haven"t found it yet.

Advertising wise, this is where we miss Poker Player, Inside Poker etc - all those magazines they used to give away in the cardrooms etc, they were perfect for advertising to Joe Bloggs who came into the casino for the odd game of poker (which is what I would expect APATs target audience to be).
Sadly, they appear to have all fallen by the wayside.

Things seem to be moving a long quite briskly...maybe I will get an early night after all.
On a side note, I have to say that the Aspers staff have been top notch throughout (although the valets could visit Update Central a little more frequently ;D).
The Dealers, TDs & Poker desk staff have been excellent in providing a great player experience.
