For ASK APAT - as requested by tighty...

- Do you think that the Pro games which have been pretty poorly attended at each location will be repeated in season 5.?

- Is season 5 sponsorship secured already, or is the Betfair sponsorship for more than 1 year.?

- For the online games in season 5, more specifically the Saturday night games for National Championships, I would like to ask if it is possible that these games are not scehuled to run at the same time as the national PLO games?

Hi Guys,

First of all fantastic commentary and coverage all weekend, have really enjoyed it, getting a feel for the APAT experience which I hope to play live very soon.

Question, are there any intentions to bring part of the tour down south to say Brighton or Southampton area as from what I can see there would be a lot of support for an event "down south".

Mark

Well done to Richard, Leigh, Des, Ian, Sharplea, Amanda, Maylis and all the APAT team for a wonderful APAT Festival.

Q.

I believe that Des has mentioned in the past that he would like to see APAT less dependent on casinos for venues.....which would enable larger fields for all events.

Could Des expand on that thought and what, if any, steps have been made towards that end?

just another little question...!!!

- Do you think that it would be possible that one of the future forthcoming Welsh National APAT could be hosted in a venue in North Wales?

Q.

With the benefit of hindsight...

What would you change about S4 if you could re-announce today?
Title: Re: WCOAP - Ask APAT
Post by: SirPercival on August 30, 2010, 19:33:58 PM
Some questions

- When will Season 5 be announced?

- Are APAt looking to continue with Betfair as the main sponsor? (I certainly hope so as they have been great)

- Will there be an event in Vegas at some point in the future?

- Will the pro league continue?

- Will the "vision" of APAt be made public - i.e. what are the longer term aims that Des has in mind?

Des and Tighty,

My question would be, how do you improve Season 5, some of the elements of Season 4 haven"t been an overwhelming success such as the Pro League.  Are we to continue with the tour in England, Wales, Ireland, Scotland and Europe, which whilst not attended by a great number of UK players have been an excellent addition to the APAT tour.

question for Tighty from Amanda (Mrs SirP)

did you milk a cow?

Post by: SirPercival on August 30, 2010, 19:45:17 PM
some more:

- What does the £20,000 sponsorship package actually consist of?

- Would APAt ever consider a direct sponsorship deal for players (like blackbelt, blondes SAS etc)

- Will Tighty get a pay rise as a result of his continued excellent work?

- Will Tighty ever write up his "hall of fame" entry?

- Will Des play for team APAt this year?

As there is a professional live league...is there any way they would consider having an online professional live league next season should they continue to do them

The Live Feed went down for quite a while during the Q & A and I missed quite a lot.

Could Des please write up his responses to the questions that WERE asked so that I can get the answers I missed..especially to the questions I asked?

Ta,

Paulie

ON the subject you are discussing re live updates..have to say that I was discussing it with a few others and we are all agreeing that there is so much that you cannot recap on the live update thread, moreso for those playing and wanting to recap the days.
