Sorry guys, getting heated on this thread will not help the situation one bit. We are all in this together to a degree and I will get personally involved should any player have issues arising out of a potential payment into their Blue Square account.
The simple matter is that there has been a slight misunderstanding between Blue Square and DTD over the payment method used for transferring some player entry and venue hire fees. Blue Square issued cheques to DTD last week and should they clear in time; which they should, then all tournaments will be paid as per normal APAT procedures at DTD. If the cheques do not clear then having the contingency payment plan in place via Blue Square accounts ensures the events go ahead. The amount of money concerned is relatively small, which is why the alternative payout plan was put against the Omaha and Horse events; which will have 9 small cashes and 5 small cashes respectively, and not the main event, which will have several large cashes.
APAT have always been in the business of facing challenges head on and we worked very hard with both of our partners on this event to sort out the issue, but essentially we are all in the hands of accounts departments on this one. As a very last resort we proposed the Blue Square account payment option.
Blue Square have been a superb sponsor of APAT as somebody wrote elsewhere in this thread. For this event alone, they have covered your registration fees, venue fees, two buffets plus put up an entry to the GUKPT Grand Final worth over £3k. They have also paid for the trophy and the medals and the organiser expenses. I think that is worthy of consideration.

Thanks Des,
However can"t help feeling if this info had been posted in the first place we wouldn"t be having this debate. Just food for thought for the future.
p.s. Had to say summat, couldn"t have Christian having the last word ;)

Thats a tricky one. Sometimes it is not always possible, or sensible, to discuss every decision process within APAT openly on the forum. In this case, it may have been a lot simpler to have said what was going on in the first place, but I can just have seen another thread started entitled "APAT leaves DTD short changed to pay out for WCOAP" ;D , or other such similar topics.
This is no criticism of anyone in particular, it just seems a lot of time and effort has been spent by everyone over a simple lack of communication between Blue Square and DTD, which APAT has more than got in hand and has already made the best decision for the players in the circumstances.
In Des We Trust. ;D
