great idea from Paulie, if we are to have another 3 day event a Fri-Sun would allow those who can only get weekends off to compete.

Like most people I think it"s agreed that you all do an awesome job. Only think I"d like to change/add is a couple more northern venues (Liverpool, Manchester, Leeds, Blackpool etc) for individual events.

thought most were in the north lol

It"s the quality of the people in the South not the quantity. ;D ;D ;D

On Brian"s idea for a CoC event, i first thought it was a terrible idea but then i realised, i"d won an online title so it"s now a goer for me..... :D
Seriously though it"s not a bad idea, but it does exclude too many members and would take up too many resources at the expense of a national for it to be a viable event. Maybe having it as a Friday night crapshoot the night before a National would be a goer?
Will post a few more thoughts on S6 later...

Well done APAT on 5 seasons of success.
As most know, I am a big fan of APAT and have played a few events each season. I do always admire Des and the teams approach to taking on board comments made by members and people often forget that they can"t please everyone all of the time.
My opinion is that when APAT started it was unique, it was groundbreaking, and it was new. In the first few seasons it grew and stayed ahead of the rest, it retained it"s USPs. Some ideas were tried that didn"t work but the ones that did stuck and grew more.
but.... IMO the momentum is not what it used to be. The core "product" is still excellent and still the prefered choice of many, the new ideas are good, but the fact is the other are catching up. I would even go as far as saying the others are in some ways ahead. Before the defenders of all things APAT step in can I say that I am not critising APAT or the team that put it all together I am mearly saying that IMO the others have caught up and there is a risk that they will soon be the ones holding the Aces.
So what is the "vision"? a question I have asked many times before on this forum. Do APAT want to stay ahead of the pack, do they want to continue providing the excellent tour as is with some year on year improvements? do they want to go global? do they want to influence the poker world and drive out rake in all tournamnets?, are they going to push for standard rules? do they want to be the springboard for players looking to get into bigger events or do they themselves want to provide those bigger events?
Share the vision Des - then the ideas for improvement can be aligned to that vision.

Superb post, very important to consider this with next years plans. I also will have a go at posting my ideas in next few days.
