APAT Online now a "free for all" series?

I would like to see the tournaments password-protected. Not because I want to stop people signing up to APAT (far from it, I want it to become massive) but because I want the people that play to buy-in, not only to the tournament but to the APAT ethos aswell. By requiring players to visit the forum to get the password we are at least giving them a look at what APAT is all about.
With the open-to-all policy we"re already seeing more "ungracious" behaviour at the tables that is certainly not in the spirit of APAT, and we now have a player that thinks Pokert**t is an acceptable moniker - for all I know he may be a long-standing member - but whilst personally I find it mildly amusing, surely it shouldn"t have been allowed? More of a Blue Square issue though I admit.

I whole heartedly agree with the above post.
In case my original post was unclear I too like Technolog would like to see a massive growth in the APAT. That said I think it is desireable that those who play should feel part of something special which the APAT undoubtably is.
Allowing players to register without any prior knowledge of the organisation seems to me to dilute that ethos.
Password protected registration seems to me to offer at a minimum a sense of "belonging" to those who play.

Hi
firstly your right the apat tourny are to cheap but it"s helping bring new people in (like myself).
Bluesquare is very clever it"s got the apat on broad aswell as the gukpt which is getting people in aswell some new to the game some not.
i think making it £20 wouldnt take away from entrys but it would stop the wrong type of people.
I do agree it should be members only and you should have to sign up to get the password but i DON"T think that would help apat grow.
So sometimes you need to take the good with the bad
Sorry if this sounds abit longwinded but anypokerclub/site/forum/ or player should welcome new players.
Again sorry i am still learning about apat myself but the more i learn the more i like it i met some great people at my first leg event who told me more about it. In short the more i heard the more i like and feeling really good about being apart of it so everyone should have that same chance i did.
ok i"m done

Would you play if it was $20 instead of $10?
The_rookie:
