Tom,

WCOAP

Overall, I thought the WCOAP was top-notch. Casino was excellent, dealers were superb, TD & Cardroom management all great. Valets pretty good...there's never enough of those.

I agree the casino location is a little lacking as far as surroundings but the offerings inside were more then adequate for me.

The "break"

I know working around casino availability can be a problem but the 2 day break in the WCOAP was, it seemed to me, to be a bit off-putting especially for those travelling a long way. I'd hope that we can go without that next year.

Stud/Razz

Again, we have a pretty packed schedule as it is but there were a lot of comments about not having Stud & Razz as separate side events. Now I had thought before that these weren't popular but I've been turned around on that point.

The 8-Game & HORSE weren't real subsitutes so I'd like to see Stud & Razz make a comeback in S11.

PLO/PLO8

I'd like to see these separated in the schedule more. I was fortunate enough to FT the PLO but it meant that I had to late reg for the PLO8 when I was eliminated.

Those of us who love the 4-card game don't get enough opportunity to play live so moving these further apart on the schedule would be optimal.

Non-HE scheduling

This follows on the from the point above and I know working around all the other events can be tricky but I see the WCOAP as my opportunity NOT to play HE so having all the non-2 card events spread out would be a real treat.

Season 11

Side Events

I know I missed the side events this year  (although I understand the reasons why they had to be side-lined) so I'm looking forward to those coming back in S11.

Perhaps more of those.  ;)

Big Club:
Fantastic WSOP as usual.... my couple of pennies.....

Stud/Razz

Completely selfish and we are already spoilt with the 8-game and Horse but would love to see these return next year.

OFC

Needs a stronger TD than we had this year. We had a couple of renegade dealers who decided they would play their own rules regarding paying people off and could have been avoided by having a stronger TD making sure the rule was consistent across all tables.

Re-entry

Numbers for the main were impressive but I feel that with 3 day one's there could be room for 1 entry per day if busted. No stack merging and no carrying over biggest stack. Just re-entering another day 1 if 0 chips or stack surrendered before play.

Delayed advertised start times

This happened a couple of times from memory and I guess is unavoidable if dealer availability isn't there. However, with the no multi-tabling rule in place I decided not to play the Omaha so I could ensure that I could play the OFC because there was only a 2-hour advertised gap between the two. This turned into 4 hours (I think?) and had I known would definitely have played the Omaha expecting to bust in time or having built a stack to warrant missing the OFC.

Reporting was top notch as usual and the live stream was a great resource that will become more and more popular... Thanks Tom, Lucy, Leigh, Matt and Des for giving us 10 days to get excited about every year!

STRETCHY74:
thank you for a very enjoyable season , personally I thought all thestaff at the grovesnors where  helpful. the wcoap was brilliant although wasn't to keen on the area, don't think I would want my wife walking to nearest hotel(6-7 min walk) on her own at any time of day and wouldn't really want to spend more than a week there again... , also the  food places weren't great, would be ok for 2 day event, but personally I'm hoping  if wcoap is at a grovesnor (loved aspers but accomadation very expensive) hoping its blackpool where the team events was this season the casino is amazing as is location and to top it off accomadation is a very high standard for very cheap prices. also wish my local grovesnor(Portsmouth) was a lot bigger as that weekend for the uk champs was very popular in main and dest vegas side.
as no dest vegas packages looking forward to the side events, I'm hoping theses start early on day 2 and will be a mixture of the side events tht get played at the wcoap. i.e   at English have six max as side event,  horse at scotish, ofc (preferably ofc pineapple, I'm hooked)at uk etc  etc
