Amateur thing may be a problem for this one though

As well as generating traffic for the APAT forum, this is the most compelling argument I see for password protection.
APAT:
If an online professional wanted to play in this event then coming onto the forum and getting the password would not prove difficult. There is an element of self policing required here as has always been the case, but with this particular event, when we get down to six players for the final table you can be assured that each will be interviewed thoroughly.

Buy in at $75-100 too cheap IMHO. Should be £75 i.e. $150 at least, since this is the standard buy in for Live Events.
Other than that looks great.
After all if there are 1000 runners as everyone seems to think, at $150 buy in, this would actually generate enough $$$$$ for 12 WSOP ME packages of $12500 each!!!!!
How fantastic would that be, to have 12 x APAT members playing in WSOP Main Event?
I presume though that every check will be made to make sure that those who are playing are indeed amatuers.

Correct me if I"m wrong but, its not a satellite. Money collected will be paid out using whatever payout structure is in place. The WSOP main event seat is added as extra by our kind sponsors BSQ.

Yes but then that is ante APAT ethos surely?
1000 runners, tbh I dont think that many will be entered, at $150 makes prize pot $150k. WSOP Seat added to 1st prize then becomes somewhat mute as 1st prize $$$$ would then be in region of $30-40k.
A detailed payout structure will have to be made public prior to event because I would play it anyway for the $$$$, the WSOP seat wouldn"t really figure in my decision to play or not, thereby negating our sponsors involvment.
Also the $$$$ then become more important than the title, imho. Which kind of negates the whole thing as an event.

You"d could just tell them about your Razz tourney in Vegas. They"d give in and tell you everything pretty quickly.
