Is it just me or is this announcement a bit out the blue? I get that its early so that people can buyin and sort everything out but the fact there was no indication of when the buyin would be available (not that I"ve seen anyways) is slightly frustrating.
With a couple days notice and the choice to play in multiple events (in some peoples cases all of them) am I alone in thinking that this is a bit unreasonable?
I unfortunately don"t have a spare 300quid lying around jus ready for a random apat buyin and now looks like I will miss out of the world champ events as seats are sure to be snapped up as this is the pinnacle event of apat season 4.
Nice one :(

I don"t really see the difference between announcing in February that the tanks will open in 3 months (not practical at the time anyway) and letting people save up in the interim....or assume people will save up regardless for when the tanks do open.
A little bit of forward planning has gone a long way...at least for me. The dates of the World comps was announced some months ago and I"m sure that many of us have put money aside to cover those that we want to play although I think it unlikely that most of us will want to play ALL of them for £300. I think you might be the exception there.
However, I think you can rest assured that most of these events won"t sell out immediately, so I think you"ll be in with a chance for a while.
Then again, I could be wrong.

your not the only one.
I just don"t think 3 days notice is fair on people.
I have plans on Sunday which I would of kept free if I know the buy in was then.
I am lucky that I have kept poker winnings aside for this and the Scottish apat but many people haven"t.
When you are putting out a few hundred pound I would expect a bit of notice even a couple of weeks.

I have to say... I can"t understand why this has been planned this way...
All the sats, freerolls, whatever, all running this Sunday, and, at the same time as a previously planned team game..! We have 3 months of time between now and the actual games... SURELY, someone could have arranged the games away from an online game already planned and will be a fair number of players playing in that game, who want to also take some part in the WCOAP games in August. How many days next week are we doing nothing online for APAT where these games could have been scheduled? Also, with the alternate games ALL being 10pm Sunday night..? Is it planned this way on purpose?
IMHO.. Terrible planning..!!!
I would hope that someone explains the part of the planning that I cannot see as sensible.!!
Cheers
Carl.
