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.

I might be reading between the lines here, but it sounds like most of the decisions have already been made ;)
walwyn:
Reg Fees - I understand that the APAT ethos was to not charge players these. but I dont think anyone would be put off entering what are good structured deepstack tournaments for the sake of an extra fiver.
Scheduling - for me personally I really enjoy the online nationals, they are just as important for me as the live stuff and I would like them to stay on a Saturday please. as many as you can squueze into your schedule. APATs online stuff are the best (maybe only) deepstack events available for a reasonable amount of money.
Added Value - anything extra is a bonus
keep up the good work

That"s not the case Ian but we"re keenly aware of the challenges we will face should we make the wrong decisions.
Swinebag:
I don"t mind paying a reg fee, but I agree with Ian that potential new members would struggle to differentiate between APAT events and other events that charge a reg fee.
With all the other tours going on and one off deepstacks being organised then 6 APAT events a year is fine IMO
Any added value is great, but limiting the prize to a one off festival is a bit poor. If players can"t get time off work to play the sides or are on holiday then the added value is worthless, unless they wait the following year. I think the prize of a WCOAP passport is excellent but I would be flexible and offer equivalent tickets for other events

but, but the other tours aren"t APAT events...with all that goes with them.
Reducing the availability of your product when you are trying to sell more of it (i.e. attract new members) doesn"t make sense to me.
