The live events remain rake free, but the economics of the current environment online are such that rake has to be charged online
It"s a small price compared to the added value on offer in S5 of course

I understand what you say, but, the added value of last year is halved, and we have to pay more for it. Sounds like a much lesser deal than previous years.

but there is still added value, even if less than last year..... and paying rake is just so standard in poker I don"t see a problem with it. We are still massively +EV compared to other normal MTTs. It"s all good.

Is that still the case when there are over $1000 in rake and only $500 in added value?

Live events to pay for. Casino hire, and reg free for players
Live streaming to pay for
Freelance staff to pay for at way below minimum wage compared to hours worked
etc etc
The deal for S4 was exceptional, doubt we"ll see that repeated ever again
Industry conditions are harsher.
Without 888 none of the above would exist for 2011
As it happens not only do players have to pay some rake this year but cutbacks have been made in costs in all those areas too.
APAT remains an outstanding community, with an outstanding offer, run by outstanding people, and me
Long may it last.

I understand the need for a rake and I acknowledge that 888 will not want to restrict numbers in my OP.
Where"s the line though - surely we are going to have a password for the league?
What about the sats?

League game is password protected.
Obviously I will only tell the West Midlands team what the password is, I wouldn"t want anyone else trying to win it. ;)

If you played a conventional MTT with a $50+$5 buy in, you would not get the added value seat.... so the $500 is +EV and is a benefit for APAT. Surely all good?

Shogun112:
In that case, you may want to change the APAT "About" page as it now only refers to live tournaments being regsitration free.
I do understand what you are saying about the rake funding live tournaments and expenses etc. I would also say that 888 have a great deal sponsoring APAT, maybe even so good, that at the end of season it might even cost them zero..
