I think it"s likely that every one of the satellites would have an overlay if one package was guaranteed for every satellite

Why do you say that Jon? One of the sats for Vienna got quite close without the guarantee

Quite close to the seat value or quite close to the suggested package value?

One of the sats made the whole $400 package and a bit for 2nd I believe

The satellites with a package might be interesting, but for something like future London based tournaments maybe.
i.e. Plenty of demand but higher than average costs

Depends where you are based....my costs are lower for London or Luton because I live in that general area....Aberdeen however is significantly dearer.
That"s why...if this idea flies...I"d be inclined to extend it to all the Nationals/Worlds.
Perhaps for S5?

IMHO these tournaments abroad are only going to suit people who can afford to go to such an extravagant event and for local players in that country. Its not just the entry fee, which is mostly what these sats offer, the added expenses of travel, accommodation and spending money abroad is huge and for the likes of me and, I am sure, many others, is in no way achievable to attend. I struggle at the best of times to make the UK ones as the cost of travel is going up all the time and the cheap flight options are few and far between as well as rising hotel costs.

I dont think APAt can expect much of a uk contingent in these games especially when there are more than 1. Personally i could never justify the expenses (time or money) to travel to one of these for a £75 game, you"d have to win every time.

As a low stakes amateur player, my bankroll just doesn"t tolerate travel and accomodation to this degree. Bit of a shame as I love playing APAT events, but will be sticking to the UK ones so missing some of this year"s tour.
I think this is more about developing APAT through Europe, rather than giving holidays to UK players though, and from that perspective it"s a great idea.
