Chips

Bodddders:
Have just read a post on Blonde by Laz. suggesting that Apat provide their own chips for future live events. I think this a great idea. It will provide us with uniformity from event to event, and although the Fitzwilliam Club did a fantastic job, as Laz. says the chips were a bit light and had a plastic feel about them. I dont know how practical it will be with regards to cost and to transport that number of chips around the country especially if the events are going to be bigger. Also would the host casinos/card rooms have any objection to Apat using their own chips? Is there a set colour for each denomination, as this seems to alter from venue to venue?
Does anyone else think this is a good idea?

kinboshi:
I like the idea (I think). Shipping them in advance to the venues shouldn"t be a problem (and not a huge expense). 

Some casinos will have an adequate number of decent chips for a large event. Others don"t.  APAT chips seems like a good idea to me.  I"m trying to think of any negatives to this idea - maybe people removing chips from one event and bringing them out at the next one to add to their stack.  This is obviously harder to do when you don"t know what chips are going to be used at the next event.  I guess it"s an issue that all casinos face with their regular tournaments anyway. 

Other than that, it"s probably just a cost issue?

Robbiebox:
Im surprised Poker stars are not providing the chips and cards for these events

Rich:
The 1k chips at the Fitz were very strange... but an improvement on having Roulette chips in Cardiff until the final table!

Very pricey though...

Harmony26:
Must say I like the idea of APAt having their own chip sets if this is feasible expensewise, transportwise and securitywise.  I remember having a fair number of broken/incomplete chips at the Edinburgh event and also panicking right at the start as regards the colour and denomination of chips as these are not standard.  (Of course I soon realised the value was on each chip...!!!)
