Season 6 Discussion
Fluence:
Like the new ideas and the fact that Pokerstars are hosting the league.
Festival thing sounds good.
The only thing I would change/query from last year is why does day 2 on the Sunday not start till 3.00pm?
Everyone"s there in a nearby hotel kicking their heels just hanging around, it could start earlier IMO.
Reg Fees fine by me especially if it allows the APAT to advertise/promote itself.
Agree with (much) earlier poster re the lack of the locals even knowing anything about the APAT when it turns up at their casino. To some we are an annoyance as it means their normal evening comp is either capped or cancelled.
Is it possible to run live satellites for a couple of seats at the venue in the run up to each event as this would promote the APAT brand and build some relations with the locals?
Anyway on the whole it"s all gravy!
Looking forward to the new season :)

On this note why not start day 1 earlier too? 12pm starts would be awesome

For the same reasons as always...casino staffing.
I suppose if APAT is going to "own" the cardroom space for a couple of days (based on Des" breakdown of the festival)* then we could request more staff but that adds to the cost and thus drives up the reg. fee.

My view is that we should go to a Festival style weekend once every two months. That gives us more time to run satellites and promote the events hard. Over the festival weekend, I can see us having the Online Championship event on the Thursday night, a member get together on the Friday night, the main event over Saturday and Sunday, a live event on Saturday night, a live event on Sunday afternoon and a one table Cash Tour event over the weekend also.

Saturday : Main Event Day 1
Saturday : APAT Live Event
Sunday : Main Event Day 2
Sunday : APAT Live Event
Sunday : Cash Tour Table
That means you"d have to staff up to 20 tables for something on the order of 12 hours a day over two days....not many casinos have the depth of staff to manage that. In fact the only one I can think of is DTD.
lucasj37:
Reg fee not a problem.
Events 6 ok if they are going to be quite central. 8 if a couple are going to be remote.
Quality over quantity everytime.
Added value WCOAP sounds good to me.
:)
scouse3465:
Reg fee no probs with me ,
Whenever scheduled whatever suits
WCOAP passport good idea if it wasnt being held at DTD (can i have genting seat instead and put the balance in ) ??
