Are we being a bit unfair about Grosvenor?

(1/5) > >>

MAF:
Apologies if this has been discussed before, but I was thinking about the complaints people are making about the Grosvenor, such as lack of dealers, disorganization, confusion over pre-registration, etc.

These matters are frustating, yet think about it, we are only playing in a piddly £20 tournament with no juice (unless APAT are paying the tournament fees separately).  For this we are expecting them to have on hand dealers for 9 or 10 tables (when they could be dealing on the cash games where they get a sizeable rake), a tournament director and a fully updated scoreboard. 

The APAT events are also new to them, and we"re expecting all the staff to know about the tournaments and how they work.  I"m sure over time, they will be better organised, but I get the feeling that maybe we are asking for too much from our rather cheap entry fee.

Just a thought.

The_rookie:
your right

WarBwastardo:
I think the source of players" frustrations stem from the fact that these games are ALL supposed to be dealer dealt and provide food, that"s where the value comes from and why people who aren"t local to these casino"s have tended to travel to play in them. 

You"re right, it is only a piddly £20 game and if APAT had said from the get go that they would not be dealer dealt and you"d have to bring sandwiches, I don"t think any would would mind.  But the fact is, players were promised these things so when you don"t get them, there"s a legitimate cause for having a little whinge isn"t there?  Or at least to highlight constructively and non-whingingly that things aren"t as they should be.


From the APAT site:

"The events, which are all registration free, will take place at 14 of the most luxurious casinos in the United Kingdom and Ireland. All events will be dealer dealt and a free buffet will also be provided for players."

i played at grt yarmouth dealers and food provided.good day had by all.

asarge:
i can see both sides of the argument here.

on one side ur right its not really worth grovensors while when theres no juice.

on the other hand  do think they make a great effort, even when we dont get food.

i think things are getting better everytime around tho!!
