No reason why a monthly $50 event couldn"t be completely separate from the main APAT series. 

It could be the FA Cup to the Premiership league.

A knock out cup?

Sounds like a Heads Up Shootout tournament?

Not actually a knockout (I guess it was a bad analogy).  Just a different thing to the main APAT points league.

Or maybe not part of any league at all - just standalone events?

So after the 1st online event does anybody think that the buyin amount of $10+$1 is correct? I didn"t actually play in this event as I realised that with such a good structure it would be a 6 hour marathon and it could well be a case of playing for 5+ hours with little financial reward even if I managed to cash. Personally I think that the correct buyin amount should be decided by the members via a poll (Can somebody enable Polls??)

So what is the correct buyin for the 5000 chip, 15 minute clock online APAT events?

A) $10+$1
B) $20+$2
C) $25+$2.50
D) $30+$3
E) $40+$4
F) $50+$5

Looking at the previous comments in this thread I suspect that $20+2 will be the winner.....

Sharky,

I played on Thursday.  Cashed 12th and made $12 profit for my 5 hours play.  Frustrating, but I was more interested in the ranking points than the money.

With twice as many online events than season one, the decision was taken to half the buy-in to keep everyones monthly outgoing the same.

I agree with you that for that length of play ( The final table started at 1am and the heads-up finished at around 2:20am) the payout doesn"t seem to be value, but the online events are about more than just the cash, otherwise you would just play any $10+$1 tournament on the web that offered a reasonable starting stack.

I have read the discussions on other threads that questions the starting stack, not sure what the answer is, but I guess we will see what peoples views are on Saturday night and more interestingly for the next Thursday event.  If we get significantly less runners from the 239 for last Thursday, then I guess the people will have spoken.

Watch this space...........

Since the Thu night tournament was introduced to appease those who complained that Sat night was not good for them, then halving the buy-in hasn"t reduced their outgoings... since they weren"t playing Sat anyway.

No one has to play both Thu and Sat.

The frustrating thing is that this thread existed, showing overwhelming support for keeping the buy-in at $20 and yet it was still reduced.

And before anyone says that the number of entries on Thu night suggests that everyone is happy... I believe the increased numbers is simply down to the fact that there was no password or requirement to pre-join APAT.

If it goes back up to $20 can it be retrospective to include the austrian open???

;) ;D
