We received a number of emails on this subject and a number of players would like the opportunity to participate in every event, but did not necessarily want to be spending $44 in tournament weeks to do so.

So the way to get things done/changed is to send an email?? What is the point of having this forum and inviting opinions if you just ignore those who post here, but change things to suit "anumber of players" who sent "a number of emails"? Why couldn"t these people voice their opinion on the forum?
BTW, I didn"t even get a reply to the question I asked by email!!
Just because your paranoid... doesn"t mean there"s no one after you!!

A relatively small number of APAT members post on the forum. You will find that not all of those that do, would want it known that they do not have a bankroll to support an increase in the level of buyin required over Season One. What question did you ask by email?

Ref. Your statement "the 4 Regional Managers will also sit on the Poker Association members comittee, when it is formed shortly." Copied from the forum announcement.
The advert for these posts stated that the RMs would sit on the "board of the poker association", there was no mention of the members committee.
Will these 4 people constitute the committee or will there be more members on it?
If there are more members to be added, how will they be appointed? Will memebers be invited to apply?

Alan

To ensure that we don"t exclude members maybe all online events should be freerolls!

OMG - Lets just give everybody 100 chips with 1 minute blinds and then we can all have a chance of a medal. ;D
The last thing we want is a freeroll otherwise I will have to find a wifi point on the way to work the next morning !
Either that or it will be allin, allin, allin, allin............who cares its a freeroll......

Time to put my two penneth in. Straight away let me say I side with the view that APAT have got it right in reducing the buy in to 10 bucks due to the doubling of the amount of tournements.
The forum is largely made up of the more vocal members of the association, indeed out of my own home game, 5 of us are APAT members and only 2 of us have played in the live APAT events and I am the only one that EVER participates in the forum.
The bankroll of our home game ranges from one non apat professional with tens of thousands in the roll, WSOP final table appearances and various European titles down to one whose maximum entry fee he pays online is 5 bucks.
The APAT events has given one his only ever live experience and 2 others there introduction to poker away from our home game by participating this week in the first online event of season 2.
10 dollars is in the reach of most members whatever their bankroll. Two 20 dollar tournements in one week can put some members with little disposable income at a tough decision whether to play 2 one or indeed not bother with APAT events at all. Their voices are very often not heard within the forum
More members probably play at the 5 dollar 3 dollar etc tourney level and 10c/20c cash than any other level using sound bankroll management.
I happily admit to playing very low level stakes both cash and tourney. Yes I have played the sunday million etcbut only if I have satellited in. I am fully aware that an awful lot of APAT members play at a much lower level than they would like to admit. My own experiences of running in to them in low level poker stars tourneys and tralling the pokerdb.com bears witness to this
10 dollars entry keeps the tournements within the reach of most players and i applaud the splitting into weekday and weekend tournements as this opens up the tourneys to players that work weekends (or have a drink or ten on a saturday afternoon!! hic!!)
Remember you do not HAVE to play EVERY tournement.
Lets keep APAT within the reach of all amateur players and not let it become elitist or clicky.

Well said Duncan.
Everyone who voices their opinion is entitled to do so (and we should be grateful for that). However if we look at some of the opinons we find that they are bais toward that individuals desires (as one might expect).
The most important thing, and hence the reason I applaude your post, is to consider the vision and mission of APAT.
