Great feedback so far guys...keep it coming.
What would you think of a cash tournament that you could exit at any point, but there is an incentive of a pro event seat at the end for the last man standing.
Runs as a tournament but you would sit with £100 in chips with blinds at £1 / £2 to start. The blinds would increase over time.

{I actually meant get you to book them for APAT so APAT can offer them to sat winners, then assist the winners with booking their flights}

I kind of like the idea....it would mean that winning the satellite actually meant that you HAD to play the seat you"d won...no cashing out.
Not sure how popular that would be for the casual player though.

I think that would work as part of a larger "festival" (WCOAP) or the like...or as a side event... but, speaking for myself, I wouldn"t want to lose a "standard" Event for it.
pables:
Just a thought, could we get sponsorship from Carlsberg,Bulmers,Adagio etc :-*
Fluence:
I"ll give it more thought and post some more in a day or two.
In the meantime may I just make one (rather lengthy) point.
Up until this year there was not a single tournament anywhere in the UK for around £100 that I would rather play than an APAT event. This is for several reasons which we all know about.
Prestige
Banter
Excellent Structure
Big tourney feel for small buy ins etc, etc.
Also of all the APAT events the WCOAP in particular is the top of the pile and the whole event is just superb.
However this year having won seat(s) very cheaply for the Goliath at Coventry I played it and this restricted my participation in the WCOAP to just the main event.
It was a great shame for me that the 2 events clashed.
They have not announced it officially yet but after speaking to the guy who came up with the idea for the Goliath in the first place they have already had discussions re 2012 and are 99.9% certain it will run in the same week next year. Up to and including the August Bank Holiday weekend in 2012.
2012 will have 3 day 1"s Wed, Thurs, Fri. Day 2 Sat, Day 3 Sunday with the Final table on bank holiday Monday. Each of the 3 day ones will be capped at 1,000 players as they will be using an even bigger hall than they did this year. They will fill it for sure.
I know it"s your decision how and when you run your events but I wanted to let you know of the dates as it will potentially reduce your numbers for what is rightly your premier event. For me personally if they do run in the same week I know I"ll have some difficult choices to make.
