keep up the good work,stay true no rebuys no re-entries

Good point. I think the team game was 'decided' too early this year. Punters Lounge played excellently, and would have won anyway, but I agree it makes it much more exciting if it's decided nearer to the 'wire'.

Hi guys,
George2loose here. Lost my original account. Just wanna add some suggestions to some tweaks I think could be made at the worlds although the week for me ran so smoothly- amazing how they can balance so many tournaments at once!
Turbo hold em comps- played the 57 one the first day with 20 min level and 10k chips. I would have bigger antes for any comps where u have less chips purely because it means people bust quicker and keeps Ave stack deeper so actually makes for a better tournament experience!
Tag team- think charging the reg few twice isn't great (was 100 plus 14 pee team) I would actually make it a tag event but make it a straight 100+10 (appreciate the double rake wasn't done by design!)
Shootout- make the shootout so you carry your stack thru and continue with the blinds as they are or roll them back to a certain level. This will mean initial tables will finish sooner- adds an extra dynamic between survival and accumulation and also makes it fairer for tables who have had to beat an extra player to get to the final
456 Omaha comp- such a great variety of games I think a 456 comp would be a great addition to the line up! It's widely played and would be a good addition to the schedule not sure if u can replace a comp that was less supported?
Pineapple- think crazy pineapple is a variation of hold em (correct me if I'm wrong!) would love to see a pineapple (ofc variant) added to the schedule
Just my 2c! Was a fantastic week and I will deffo be back next year

A couple of thoughts for the comps I played.
Deuces Wild -quite confusing, even dealers didn't know which hands had won, the game got a bit "my deuce vs your deuce" all-ins. Maybe make it a Jokers Wild with just the 2 or even 1 joker? I play this at Goliath and out of the two it's a much better version IMO.
I know the games need to finish at certain times and I think it was fine for the evening starting comps, but I feel 20min clock on 10/15k stacks is too turbo-ish for the ones that start in the afternoon. With 18 left in the Crazy Pineapple the average stack was 11bb. This could be down to no antes so less people eliminated than anticipated but it was also still fairly early (4/4.5 hours in).
In terms of different comps, a 456 Omaha would be nice - maybe to replace the Mixed Game Max which didn't get that many runners?
It felt like the numbers were down on quite a few comps, probably just due to the increased number of events so players were more thinly spread? There's at least 4 or 5 other comps I'd have played but they were overlapping. I know this can't be avoided. Can't remember exactly but was there 20 events last year? Maybe stick to 3 a day for 9 days for a total of 27? 1pm, 4pm and 7pm start times or something?
Overall, a great week, really enjoyed it. Seeing familiar faces and meeting new ones, really is a great APAT family and I'm definitely going to be going to more events around the country in the coming season! Congrats to everyone that cashed/won medals and huge thanks to Tom, Leigh and all the others with all the organising. It's a great thing for UK poker and a shame there isn't more festivals like this.

Buy-in. Keep it the same. Plenty of decent £100-£200 comps run now, so keep APAT unique.
Stack size. 300 BB starting is fine, but change starting stack to 30k and drop the 25/50 level. This will bring antes in earlier too. Button antes is a good idea, even if it is a compromise for the iPad/phone generation who need constant reminding to post them.
2-7 (NLSD or FLTD or both) at the WCOAP next year please. Plenty of Omaha and stud variants so surely can get a draw game in.
Otherwise keep up the good work.
