Are we being a bit unfair about Grosvenor?
Philippos13:
what does the APAT have to say about the whole matter?
Are the games supposed to be dealer dealt as it states in the site?
Perhaps this is the case but if the casino will not abide with what they agreed can the APAT really do somethin about it?
APAT speak up ;D
WarBwastardo:
Amsterdam and Bangkok I"m afraid
APAT:
Attempted joking aside, we very much are where we are.
I very much agree that the key thing here is giving the members clarity on what they will receive for their day out at an APAT Regional. I will hold my hands up to missing that copy on the main site, but it will be updated to reflect the current reality. As individuals, we can then each reach a decision as to whether we want to attend the Regionals or not.
One thing is certain, to gain the maximum long term benefit for all parties, there has to be a bit of give and take on each side, particularly in the early days. We may complain (me included) from time to time, but Grosvenor and Gala have both given a great deal to APAT and our members and the long term potential in these relationships is huge. So we will continue to negotiate in a sensible grown up way, taking factors like the economic climate into consideration in our dealings with the chains.
Shy Talk:
My "home" casino is the Grosvenor at Bolton.The only time they have dealers in a tournament is final table, so I"m used to self-deal and would have no problem if that"s the way it goes.
I do however agree with the "if it"s advertised it should be there"
The Walsall event was the first APAT tourney I"ve been to and I would have to say I thought it was superbly organised. I"m looking forward to Manchester (with or without dealers!!)
;)
kinboshi:
The plan was originally to have dealers. But that"s not the case now.
So for this season, it"s self-deal until the final two tables.
APAT has announced this, and we know it"s the case, so we go with it - or we can vote with our feet. I for one will be playing. I also enjoyed the Walsall event and am looking forward to the next one.
