TightEnd:
Yes because BRS had over 15 players in, and Paul has links with genting via his ipoker skin. You are barking up the wrong tree

MintTrav:
As predicted, West Midlands looks likely to win the online league again - by a bigger margin than previously. It is becoming the case that the only question each year is which WM players will get the UKIPT seats. Not sure what the solution is, but this is not good for the league - numbers are already declining. Also, the league goes on a bit too long.

join other teams together as i posted earlier. walsall / birmingham joined last year so leave them as they are and put other teams together to bolster regular players for each team. Recruiting new players is easy but getting regulars to turn up week in week out is a lot harder.

My twopence worth on the Live events

- Countries

1 or 2 overseas trips a year seems about right, not suitable for all but spreads the word and increases membership as well as being a jolly for those that want to go.

- Venues

I think the quality of the tournament very much depends on the attitude/experience of the card room manager and staff. I venue which may have been poor when we last visted could easily be good if they have changed management and visa versa.

- Structure

Spot on, don"t change it.

- Buy in

Spot on for Nationals and side events. I would up the £50 side events at the worlds as they are popular and have a smaller field. Perhaps some at £50 some at £100 would work.

I would also have 1 "high roller" event in the season, a bit like the pro/am but have a bigger buyin (£500?) and run satelittes throughout the year or offer entry as added value.

- Pay structure

Been debated many times before. Nobody seems to be crying out to change it back so leave as is.

- Added value

Nobody complains about this.  ;D

- Trophies / medals

These must stay IMO. Many new APATers have commented to me that they like the idea of getting a momento for their efforts as the money soon gets spent and forgotten.

- Rules

Write a set, adopt a set, I don"t care, just stick to them. IMO the only way to do this is to have the same TDs for all tournaments. Not very practical I know but Tighty would get my vote if he fancied a change from updating.

- WCOAP

See above re buy-in. DTD is the only place to do this in UK.

- Streaming

How many people watch it? Is the cost worth it?
IMO it detracted from the updates (due to staff numbers) and for that reason I would ditch it.
Des interviews on video are way better and are there forever (unfortunatly in some cases  :-[)

- Live updates

Lose these and you will lose some of what makes APAT what it is. Clone Tighty.

- Post event reports

Much better when they were higher profile.

- Photo galleries

Good. Make the live updates more interesting too (particularly when Tighty takes a shine for a special dealer!)

- Team events

Always popular with those that are picked and get to play, not so popular for those that aren"t.

- Side events

Gives options for the second day when knocked out on Day 1 and for that reason should stay.

- Formats, ie reentry, rebuys, etc

A mix of formats is good. Perhaps introduce something like a rebuy for a side event but not a National as is can favour those with more bankroll.

Other tours are introducing things like "win the button" and "rivers turbo". Bounty tournaments are popping up everywhere. APAT are behind the pack in this area IMO.

- Guarantees

Are they needed when events generally sell out anyway? If we find a sponsor willing to put them up how long would they stay if they constantly had overlay?

- Schedule, ie is one event a month right, etc

Yes
