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?

If we didn"t feel the numbers would stack up, then I wouldn"t go forward with a proposal to any network. Similarly, to enter a network relationship and send out a signal that we would need some hand holding initially would be a mistake. In this environment we would need a bullet proof proposition to gain a license.

Is it not possible to go with option 1 with a sponsor that ISN"T a poker site whilst setting up an APAT skin and growing it over this year? Betfair sponsored APAT and their poker site isn"t big at all they are much more known for betting. Are there any betting companies that don"t have a poker site? How about getting a media company to sponsor? Maybe Talksport? Or a newspaper or mag might be up for it.
Whichever way you go now option 3 is the future.

External sponsors...
Well it is 2012 and they have medals and significant exposure...
We could have a special APAT Olympic event and get sponsorship that way :)

This is an unusual situation - members asking to be charged a fee and the management resisting. In most activities, the members complain that the fees are too high.

The APAT ethos has always been "Reg Free" but I think it"s clear that this is not sustainable in the current climate.
................
If the answer is "No "Live" Reg Fee Ever" then we know what we are looking at. It"s a lovely idea but considering where we are, is it practical?

Where are we? I wasn"t aware of APAT being in a particularly bad condition.
