It might mean that if organisers want to ensure a decent turnout they will need to make the tournament more appealing to the players....FREEBIES etc :) which cannot be a bad thing!

Whilst I feel that you really can"t compare the UK and US markets...you"re overlooking the fact that we already get freebies...Free Dealers & NO REG FEE.
I"ll take that over a free logo"d baseball cap that I won"t wear anyway.

I wasn"t suggesting that APAT need to do more, I was just pointing out the fact that there are more tours and festivals around (UK or otherwise) and that in general the fields for some events (not APAT) are lower than in previous years.
I am very happy with what APAT are providing for us and fully appreciate the hard work that goes into securing things such as no reg fee etc.
Having said that, I think you would look great in an "I love Las Vegas" baseball cap Paulie ;D

All APATs have sold out so far this year and have had alternates.

APAT is in its fifth year of providing registration free, added value festival structure tournaments for under £100
Beat that. Imitators will imitate.

I tell alot of Dutch/Germans about APAT in the casino"s/clubs I play in over here. They struggle to comprehend the whole value for money and believe its too good to be true!
Brit players really are the priviliged few and should make the most of it. Tournament standards, standard of play, VFM, atmosphere and social along with non taxable winnings - alot of foreigners would give their right arm for these sort of events.
I"m actually really suffering withdrawal symptoms as I have to put up with poor TD"s, confused European takes on rules, organiser creaming huge amounts of juice and generally higher buy ins if I want a half decent standard of poker.
I really cannot wait to get back to the UK to start playing these again :-)
BFWIW, I cannot play this one as I"m hoping to support the DTD event for obvious reasons to those who know me.
Hope the APAT tournament goes off as brilliantly as they always do!
Chipaccrual:
APAT are pleased to confirm that the Sunday Side Event in Cardiff will be PLO H/L. It will be a £25+£5 event starting at 3:30pm with 5 tables of 8 players.
The event will be available for buyin on the Saturday evening at the poker desk.
Also, Les Croupiers are running a £15 Freezeout tournament on the Friday night. We have been advised that this normally gets around 100 runners.
