Season 6 Discussion
AJDUK:
Reg Fee: Bang goes the USP! But was always inevitable. (Paulie already offered to pay my reg fees earlier in this thread so no issues with me ;D)
Scheduling: Depends on the schedule. Could be a long wait for some if you venture from the mainland too often.
Added Value: Anything is great. Just don"t tell Scouse ;) Prefer non APAT events tbh. WCOAP seems a limited choice.
Don"t like the idea of online national on a Thursday night.
HOLDorFOLD:
Reg fee = no problem
Scheduling = 6 fine if need be, but 8/9 would be preferable
Added Value = always a bonus, whatever it is.
PHIL_TC:
Reg fee - Not a problem at £5 or 10% (and / or optional membership fee for APAT incentives)
Schedule - Every 6 weeks sounds perfect and would mean more beer money as APAT's generally fall just before pay day :)
Added Value - Would prefer UKIPT/GSP/GUKPT seat, but as it won"t affect me anyway will go with the flow
Festival - Do like the idea of online National for Thursday and making it a full weekend

Reg fee is fine if needed to be added. If this fee goes to the casino as a whole currently what would APAT do with the "extra" available funds out of the budget?
More/better advertising? Fine, but at the same time we are having/ looking to reduce the number if live events!? Yet seeking even more people.
Not suggestion that isn"t a good idea just stating thoughts.
Live events- understand the scene is getting crowded, but 6 events is very low.
Added value- prefer the step into a higher buyin tournament, I think still the majority play NL when playing live so added stud/Omaha, would feel, to, me "wasted".
Can"t wait though....

We will go with a series of different partners in 2012 which will give us the freedom to amend the schedule as mentioned earlier in the thread. The reg fee will essentially enable us to add more events, so I would see us increasing from 6 to 8 or 9 as seems to be the popular request at the moment.

Reg Fees: Was I alone in being naive enough to believe that the venues didn"t charge as they knew there was money to be paid over at the bar, food and house games (DTD excepted). I didn"t realise that it was coming out of APAT's pocket. I still feel that the lack of reg fee was a great move forward and it would be a shame to lose this.
Schedule: Monthly can be a bit hectic, I could never have made that many. Every two months would make each comp more valuable.
Online/Live: I am not privy to the negotiatons obviously but feel the split of sponsors would be likely to cause problems. A major chain of venues would like APAT presence more if they were also playing on their online site as well. I think perhaps Stars have been lucky to cream the best part of the deal this time.

You would think so with regards the casino chains, but unfortunately it isn"t as straight forward as it has been over the past few years - and of course it"s not too much of a challenge to set up your own tour and not risk losing your traffic to a third party like APAT.
PokerStars on the other hand was a strategic target for APAT, and a very effective one at that.
