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.

Correct, we"re not. I assume Paulie is referring to the fact that the market is somewhat tougher than it has been previously, which it is.

Further to the above post by Mark...perhaps this got "involved" with the other idea that I had (which I may come back to depending on the reply)
The APAT ethos has always been "Reg Free" but I think it"s clear that this is not sustainable in the current climate. so I"ll ask it again.

Is a reg. fee completely out of the question for APAT events? Say 10%...cheaper than most and anything else could be made up from sponsorship / revenue?

Never say never of course, but I"m proud of the fact that APAT have effectively paid the registration fee of every player who has ever participated in a live APAT event over five years. That"s an incredible "pro-player" statement to be able to make and I"d personally hate to lose it.
That said, I"ve been considering other ways that we could reward our member base if we go down the route of option 3. For example I could see APAT setting aside a % of net revenues for players - and essentialy you guys would get the opportunity to become shareholders. So perhaps there is a revenue generation opportunity there that I need to consider further.
