I enjoyed playing it but would like to see it as a limited reload.

I agree, unlimited reloads takes it away from an APAT tournament for me

I agree but isn"t that the whole point? It is meant to feel like a cash game not a tournament as I understand it, I think the current rules achieve that quite well.

Unlimited reloads should stay a feature, the control of the maximum reload is in place to stop deep pockets becoming the huge advantage it would be otherwise but this has to retain the feel of a cash game and not that of a tournament. I thought this was perfectly achieved at the worlds. The only slight tweak I would make is that the top 16 reach the day two, so 8 from each day rather than 4 but this will not be an issue anywhere other than the worlds.

I think the general consensus I gathered from the WCOAP is that the Cash Tournament really doesn"t work as a two day event.
I think one day is going to be the way forward.

1) I would personally rather see the event commence at 12pm on the Sunday and just run for 3 hours.

The people who tend to travel to APAT on a Friday night tend to be the types who want to use it as a social night and have a few pints rather than play poker. I liked the two sessions at WCOAP not sure it is needed for the normal events though.

True but some of us who like a drink or whatever on the Friday aren"t interested in playing poker that night....although opinions differ.
Sunday has enough going on already and, of course, if you make Day 2 of the Main, you can"t play the Cash Tournament
hi_am_chris:
Off topic slightly but would it be possible to organise an online cash tourny to accompany the Online games?
