Wow!!! choices choices!
At first glance (blatently ignoring Des" think carefully plea) ideas 2 and 3 seem to be the most exciting to me.
I do my best thinking after drinking heavily, i will be back on here later :p
PHIL_TC:
Quite like the idea of option 3 and having an online APAT poker room. I"m presuming that this would be skin over a current poker network? I"m not a serious grinding online player, but you"d need to be careful which network was selected for volume of players, availability of games... as I"m guessing the more serious online players within the membership would be reluctant to move from more fishier waters to try and grind a roll in a tougher environment.
Option 2... having individual sponsors and having members to sign up to multiple operators wouldn"t be a major problem. I would hazard a guess that most members who play online will have signed up to most of the popular poker rooms and have accounts anyway. The downside here I would see is getting sponsors for the less glamerous nationals locations. The worlds would be snapped up, but would you have sponsors lining up for the less glamerous fixtures? For example if you ever god forbid came to Stockton would you have anyone other than Greggs interested? Just think that this option would cause extra workloads for you guys in negotiating and I"m presuming that having one sponsor a year is hard enough work never mind one for each championship.
My gut feeling would be a combination of 2 and 3... The pro"s of 3 giving an independant revenue stream for APAT and option 2 and sponsorship for the prestige events such as the worlds being sponsored etc... like DTD did in the last season.
Then again option 1 has worked over the past 5 seasons.... if you can get the right deal and it means stability for the remainder of the season without having any events in doubt then I"m always a fan. Nothing worse than planning time off work and around holidays for an event and to have it cancelled.
Just my twopenneth x

Sums up what I was thinking ... saves me having to type it out ;D
Good luck with the meetings, pretty sure whatever way it pans out there will be support from APAT members.
