Season 6 Discussion
AJDUK:
Interestingly enough it was the "reg free" aspect that got me and Debjani involved. Not particularly for the money saved but it made me look into the concept hiding behind this offer as it was so different from the norm. What I then saw I liked, I realised the reg free aspect wasn"t a gimmick and I"ve not looked back since. Since then of course reg fees have generally gone up.
If this differentiator hadn"t existed I"d have treated APAT tournaments just like any other tournament and certainly wouldn"t have travelled all the way to Luton in S1 to play my fist APAT.
If reg free is to continue we should make sure that it"s made as obvious as possible perhaps even quoting the savings made against regular 20% small-ball fees. I know it"s always mentioned but perhaps we don"t shout it loud enough.

Fully agree.
Although most people would happily pay your reg fee to have you in the comp...always value there! ;D

I personally think that the reg free should stay, its a major thing that differentiates APAT from the norm, and is one of the things that appear top of my list during my "APAT is great because" speeches when telling people about the tour.
An optional membership fee which gives certain privileges as Paulie mentioned, whether priority for seats etc is a great idea.
Personally going back to the original 3 options, would it not be possible to set up the APAT poker site for this season, combined with either option 1 or 2, with the aim of letting it grow to the point where it can stand on its own and fund future seasons on its own? No harm in having a 2 or 3 year plan rather than going dave style balls out for this season?

I think Des would love to do that but sponsors might shy away if APAT was actively encouraging it"s membership to it"s own site.
Not a problem if your sponsor is Dulux...huge problem if it"s Ladbrokes.

Not sure how the poker skins revenue streams work, but is it not possible to have an "APAT skin" running on a network where the sponsor is the network itself? Or if the sponsor is another skin somehow share revenue?
