Some thoughts on WCOAP 2015
luther101:
Just a few musings after playing my first APAT Festival in years ....
1) Westfield daily parking charges are simply too high - and the weekend ones made me wince.
2) Aspers drinks prices (even soft drinks) are bordering rip off status.
3) Importantly some of the tournament were just laughable - Razz/PLO8/HORSE (they totally ruined it for several of us who had reserved seats early, expecting some decent mixed game comps) .... the structures were so wrong & played as though they were dreamed up on the "back of a fag packet" ten minutes before the start.
Hopefully these could be looked at .... I doubt I"ll be "rushing back".

What was bad about the PLO8?

Those structures have been worked on over a number of years and have been well received by those APATers who like to play these games regularly.
They"re timed to run over a certain length of time...as much as one can calculate these things so the starting stack might fluctuate usually upwards.
Plus...it"s a £50 comp...not the WSOP. ::)

Wasn"t one of the founding principles of APAT to provide a "properly" structured tournament for a recreational level buy-in?
A minor point because I completely agree that the main issue is that the tournament has a certain amount of time to run in and the structure of the limit games in particular has to be such that it is so that it can fit in this time.

True Jon...but my opinion is that these comps ARE properly structured.
My point was that at some point quality is going to be impacted by cost....APAT does pretty well in avoiding that for the most part....but you can"t please everyone I guess.
