"Hello, Front Desk..yes, this is Mr Duffy in the God Almighty Suite....could you order me 100 cabs? Where to?,...We"re heading over to Frankie"s Tiki Room."
"Yes really, I"ve offered to get the first round in."
"Oh, and I"d like a group discount on those cabs please!"

Having only 1 reservation for the whole of the WCOAP made sense - but I thought it was worth checking/clarifying as it"s in 3 distinct groups.

To be clear, if a players is committed to being at the venue, then they would only have to pay one reservation fee. So consider it one reservation fee per venue Jon. That avoids the previous issues.

That"s why I queried that one in particular, the "other" event is a £200 event; isn"t it likely that there will be a large disparity between the number of people who will want to play the £50 WCOAP event - but not the £200 one?
Hence, logically, doesn"t that make it a £50 + £5 + £5 event for those people?
What a season in store,probably won"t able to make them all as will need one weekend to sort out divorce procedures :D
If i make Vegas I promise to actually be on time for the tournament this time round ;)

Online Comp dates....?????
Don"t suppose any dates will be added down South
Fantastic schedule, and more breaking ground. Congratulations APAT!!!
Only gripe - I can"t afford the foreign events, which means there"s nothing for me for five months between August and February. Hey ho - can"t wait for Coventry now!
..great schedule guys but seems that emphasis is for players North of London and for those of us living down South that cannot always travel for 2-3 days its quite hard to find event that can get to :(

September - Bristol
November - Glasgow (far but not foreign...no matter what others think)
and since Stoke is 1st Feb I think you"re exaggerating a bit. :)

November Glasgow is a flight away - so no diff between that and Prague in that respect, so yes it"s a foreign event, and unaffordable for me.
Yes Stoke is Feb 1st - and my post stated February.... not sure what you"re trying to say by questioning that one.
So, between Sep7 and Feb1 there is a gap where the events are all on foreign soil (they require flights), and despite what you think about my exaggeration of timescale, it is still five months (which is what I claimed it to be in my post)
I don"t think I"m exaggerating - my feedback is my own feedback and opinion. But hey, cheers for belittling my feedback.
Quick question regarding POTY rankings.....Do the "Open Events" count?
Following this; will APAT Masters count??
Just caught up on the schedule.....here"s my two-pennoth....
DELIGHTED to see Dublin back!.....so where will I be?....Australia!!!!
Nice to see you finally agreed to my "Champion Of Champions" suggestion from about 18 months back....though I think it should include Champions from all seasons (and not just cuz I aint won anything for a while on APAT)
Not sure about your scheduling an event for the weekend of August 24th though to clash with The Goliath?
The LPPL weekend has always sounded awesome and I am sure we will see BCPC representation there ;D
Well Done guys.....great work.
Can I ask for clarification on how the ranking points will work this season please.
Also, how you qualify for Brian"s champion of champions event ;)
Quick question about the Home Internationals?
How many teams will be competing?? How many from each country??
Think we need 10+ England teams, i didnt qualify when there was 1 team, nor was picked when 3 teams so think 10+ and i may have a shot :) :) :)
BTW my missus is going mental, as she wants me to win the WSOP package, however that means making as many events as possible.....or just win every event i play. Worryingly, thats prob more likely than getting a pass for some of the events!!! (Vegas, Scot, Ire, Prague and Newc)
Oh you APAT organisers, are you getting paid per divorce?? :)
Nothing in the North West since Season 5 :( Better make sure I get the car serviced ;)
Southport this season though.
Can I ask for clarification on how the ranking points will work this season please.
Also, how you qualify for Brian"s champion of champions event ;)
The points situation will be published before Coventry Stu.
We"ll consult with Brian on the best way to qualify players into The Brian Yates Champion of Champions event. ;)
Sigh....

Like Brian .. Nice to see the champions of champions brought back.. Brian suggested prehaps holding an event with all past champions, sounds great to me ;D.. or failing that what about inviting those back who have been crowned champions since the last CoC held a couple of seasons ago, so gives those who havent had a chance to play in such a prestigious event? ;)
Im sure it wouldnt mean that many more entrants into the field, and the awesome prize being offered would make for some great poker!! (pretty please xx)

Hehe Stu yeah silly me didnt want to hijack Brians "new" concept..
Joking aside.. when was the last CoC?.. and since the last how many new inducuctions has there been?.. seems that quite a few may of missed out in playing this event, i must admit i was pretty gutted that there wasnt one last season at the WCOAP or other event.. As Rob has stated its not so much about the added value its the bragging rights, if there was a prize or trophy thrown into the mix all the better ;D

Season 4 at Bolton? When Betfair were sponsoring and gave away a £20k sponsorship package to the winner.
The added value is an interesting question, as is CoC.
We"ve given away thousands in free entries to everything from the WSOP main event to GPS over the years, but with very few exceptions I don"t think the winners have benefitted massively from attending, experience aside.
I was very pro sending all winners to the WCOAP last year but we decided against at the last minute. The theory in doing it this year is that having all of our main event champions under one roof for one very special event, while not necessarily offering the cash first prize of a GPS or UKIPT, will create a very prestigious event that champions can look forward to through the season, with a Vegas trip added to serious bragging rights the prize. I can see this event being the live stream of Friday night and the most popular of all time.
The content it creates will be superb and it is in this context that a CoC works for me. I wasn"t a fan of the lets get all old champs back as Brian suggested. Perhaps in our tenth year we may have an anniversary special.
. You could live in Yorkshire there been no Apat since...... erm ever, you might as well talk to people in Yorkshire casino about cow pats then apats..great schedule guys but seems that emphasis is for players North of London and for those of us living down South that cannot always travel for 2-3 days its quite hard to find event that can get to :(

I Play on and off in Leeds and I normally start a conversation about APAT, most of the time I just get blank looks, they have no idea what I"m talking about, yes there are some who play APAT games but the biggest % of players have never heard of APAT. I have also played in Sheffield and it"s the same response. The only thing I can come up with as why APAT have not come to Leeds or Sheffield is that it"s only 1/1.5 hours away from DTD but that"s only if you live in South Yorkshire, Yorkshire is a big county and is well overdue a APAT game. The Genting in Sheffield is perfect for a APAT game

I"m pretty sure there isn"t a casino in the country that wouldn"t run APAT these days and be very happy to have got one. It"s figuring which ones to drop that"s the real issue.

Was last season the only season since the start of C o C that was missed off the schedual ?

No, a season"s CoC has only been run once before Carl, in season four. This would be the second. It"s possibly something that could become a fixture going forward, particularly given the success of the APAT Awards at DTD last WCOAP. It makes sense to really encourage all of our champions to go to the WCOAP, for a season ending finale - and in that respect, this is very much a first.
I wouldn"t mind a trip to Yorkshire and I"m sure they could cope but will they do it for the price APAT are willing to pay?

We drive a hard bargain in Yorkshire that"s true but im sure Des couldcharm them into giving him a good deal :)
- Schedule worth the wait!
On a selfish note, yay something in Bristol, just need to understand what it is.
On a less selfish note, Prague Poker Festival is so huge, getting in on this can only be great news for APAT.
RE The foreign events, any thoughts about satellites offering packages for these?
Really hope the LPPL will boost numbers for satellites and the online champs (assuming they aren"t all strictly pub players?).
is prague really a 4 day event?

To follow Bill, we thought we"d focus on live tonight.
But just to be clear there won"t be onlines this weekend i.e. a week before the live event like we have generally done in the past? Ta.
To be fair Des, it doesn"t suggest you have to qualify either.
Des, in regards to cash tour,
Will it be changed so that if you have not had your reload, that it can be taken prior to final count??
I think someone that has bought in for £200 and ends on £350 shouldnt be ahead of someone that has bought in for £100 and has £349 infront of them. This was the case at the Worlds? I promise this isnt me being bitter (much) just think it needs to be fairer to all playing?

Rules at Worlds were you can only take the 2nd bullet once bust tho? So will players be able to "add" £100 whenever they want this time round?

Yes, we"ll break the second bullet into two chunks and they (optional) will have to be taken before the first phase ends. Taking them will not be subject to losing your starting stack.
Just seen that Friday night in cov is the 1st Cash Tour event?

Ah thats a shame, i think the option should def be giving once the last hand has been played in the 1st phase to avoid what dann is worried about. But to allow the reload to be taken at any point totally shifts the dynamic of what made the event so good (giving it its slightly tournament like feel)
Could it not just be changed that instead of the top 8 stacks go through to the FT, the top 8 profitable players take their stacks through.
That means you keep the reload rules as it is, but if you have taken a second bullet, you are penalised £100 when calculating the final table positions.
This doesn"t then advantage the deeper pocketed players as Steve has suggested, but also solves the issues that were raised from the DTD event.
I would prefer to see the rebuy broken into four optional £25 chunks. These should then be considered "top ups" rather than "rebuys", and a top up (or multiple top ups) can be used at any time so long as topping up your stack does not take it over the max sit down of £100 (standard for any cash table with a max buy in).
This would take away any disadvantage of losing an early pot, and would allow players to keep stacks topped off at £100 (until they run out of top ups)
Agree that the final table should be based on the 8 most profitable players rather than the 8 biggest stacks in play.

No it should be the 8 biggest stack in play surely
The idea is to create a deep stacked cash game as I understand it. To do that you need the biggest stacks in play. Just give everybody the option to add on their unused rebuys at the end and its the same thing anyway. I like the idea of 4 top-ups btw.

If one person buys in for £100 and no top ups, and finishes with £349 (profit £249), then another player uses all tops so total buy in is £200, and he finishes with £350 (profit £150), and he finishes as the 8th biggest stack, do you believe it"s fair for him to go through to the final ahead of the guy with £349 but a much bigger profit? I take your point about needing as many chips in play on the final table as possible though
Fair point Rodders, but I think in most circumstances, the most profitable players will also be the biggest stacks. The discussion here seems to revolve areound the marginal stacks that may or not make the FT and surely the more profitable players deserve to go through, with the worst case scenario of £100 difference in potential chips on the final table (which is likely to be a small % overall)

Actually, I suspect it would be the other way round and *could* favour the volume of chips on the final table. eg If I were to get through to the final as one of the 8 most profitable players, I would almost certainly take the remaining top ups as addons..... this would therefore increase the chips in play on the final...... the less profitable player who has already used his top ups would not be able to put any more additional chips onto the final table.
Aaaaannnndddd....Dann Williams - here is your cue! ;)
As Steve was pointing out. My 2nd £100 was in my hand to be added to stack for Final Table, whereas Ian and Frankie had already bust once and couldn"t. There would have been £93 more at FT if the rules allowed me to do so
I reckon a live cash tournament should start 250bb deep anyway to be interesting, so either increase stacks or decrease blinds (or both)

My question is when/where can i reg for cash in Cov??
I have booked the day off so i can get there.
Reserve i up please!
I haven"t seen any mention of sponsorship this season. Are APAT going it alone now?
Are WH adding anything for us having to sign up / play there?
William Hill have sponsored the next two events Stuart; which we held over from the end of last season to give support to DTD with the ISPT. We"re in talks with other third parties from event 4 onwards, but WH"s sponsorship effectively supports the budget for the Vegas and WCOAP packages.
They are offering a deposit £10, get £10 extra for players also.
I"m on the case with our William Hill contacts at the moment Phil.
I"ll get back to you as soon as I have an answer.
Great was looking forward to apat this year. then dates come out and i can only play in one event. we have fixed hols at work so will have to try and do some swaps. even missing newcastle event as i am one of a number of local players refusing to play their.

Not really sure this is the place for airing local disputes Dann.

Respectfully, I kinda disagree - solely based on the fact that the dispute could be something which would affect us as APAT players when we head up there for what are the first two events of our premier series :)
Don"t get me wrong - if it is a dispute based on Player X not getting on with the cardroom manager then no, it"s not one for us! But, if it is something that us as players should know - then he should be allowed to share.

Its in Newcastle.
I"ve just noticed that the cash tour is set to run from 6-11.45 at each venue. I was going to play these, but those times make it very difficult for anyone travelling to get there in time. Casinos are open much later than the scheduled ending time. Could they not start from, say, 8pm?

Aren"t they all on Saturdays?
Ignore if you"re a Saturday worker.

Are you staying at the Ricoh for the weekend Mr D?
ahhh fair, we need to arrange a meeting point for friday night. You coming to the casino? Pub somewhere?
Does the Cash Tour carry POY points?
This one is to be finalised Del. We"re pulling together a Cash Tour landing page which will have all of the answers, will be up next weekend.
For people like me who struggle to travel....
Online Comp dates....?????
To follow Bill, we thought we"d focus on live tonight.
SUNDAY SIDE EVENTS
I am a recent convert to PLO and seeing as most side events seem to be PLO anyway why not go the whole hog and state that every national will have a PLO event on the Sunday starting 30 minutes after the main event day 2. Pay-outs as normal but with a rankings table with points 1 – 9 for the final table which are accumulated over the season and added value for the winner of these rankings (e.g. a seat in the Monthly Deepstack at DTD). If a sponsor or APAT did not want to fund this then £1 added to each PLO buy in should cover this or get very close.
I don’t think such a PLO league exists live anywhere else.
Any scope for the league suggestion given that the schedule has announced PLO Sunday events for every Championship?
Damn you JP, im gonna have to stop making Day 2s as this looks like fun!
We"ll add a thread on Cash Tour this evening Dave.
All that said, Paulie has a point (OMG - I agree with Paulie on something) that in the last event, it was such a squeaky bum ending that I would be inclined to change nothing.

Agree with this, it does make it more of a spectacle and the close finishes are great. Even if its more top heavy, you would still expect that to happen though, will always come down to that final MTT.
When I played it did mean that you had to nit it up which is fine, just not that enjoyable to play/rail. Obviously the enjoyment comes from repping for the team.
there hasn"t been an MTT in the last couple of events - it"s been down to headsup medal playoffs. I"m not a fan of either, however for the sheer excitement factor, the HU playoffs were a fantastic ending to the event.

OMG...I agree with Steve on something! :)
IMO the team events that finished with an MTT have been far more exciting and enjoyable than those that finished with HU. The large number of possible outcomes and strategies needed to negotiate a very complex final and, indeed, last two tables made for some intriguing and hugely entertaining situations, especially for spectators. Much more enjoyable to climax with those than with than sterile HUs.

Hi Stefan - this will be confirmed within two weeks.
No! But very soon.
Is Newcastle still a TBC for the venue on Sat March 1?
It didn"t used to be like this - things have definitely changed.
With the main tours we know months in advance where they are. Are the venues much more hard ball these days or is it something else?
Any News about the location (City) of the WCOAP? For those of us from other countrys this would be a very valuable information to plan our travels.
