My only request for season 6 is...
15K starting stacks please!!!

^^THIS!!
When APAT first started, 10k stack was awesome, and was deeper than anything I"d ever played..... nowadays though, 10k is pretty shallow in comparison to other tourneys... 15k seems to be the new standard, and doesn"t make a massive amount of difference to tournament run-time either (I"m sure I can spew 15k as fast as I can spew 10k)
TightEnd:
Players generally put far too much importance on starting stack
It is the structure that is key
3,000 chips is fine if the structure is graduated enough to allow play at all times
I am not saying a move to 15,000 won"t happen, merely pointing out that structure is key and I am not aware that for any concerted period of any APAT national our structure and 10,000 chips leads to a crapshoot.
Swinebag:
I agree that structure is key rather than starting stack, but UKIPT, GUKPT, DTD deep and now Genting have similar structures to APAT but have starting stacks of 15K, 20K, 15K and 25K respectively.
GUKPT and DTD deep, which are much more established compared to the other 2, also used to have 10K starting stacks.
Time for APAT to make the change as well???

so what"s the point?
Doesn"t that just suggest that the structure"s altered to speed up the play at certain points to balance out the total tournament time?

Yes, and all run over more than one starting day, and more than two playing days
Again, not ruling it out per se, but in isolation (ie if APAT stays at two day events) there is no need
