Had an interesting chat with Rob Yong whilst standing in the queue to buy-into the event yesterday. He said he couldn"t understand why they hadn"t just put an entry holding tank on their poker site and we all just bought in there, which is pretty much what I had suggested as an option earlier on here.
Seems it is do-able from their point of view.
Rob said the same thing to me yesterday Rich, but it was the furthest thing from his mind two days, weeks or months ago.
While this might be an option in some circumstances, those will be extremely rare. And it brings with it the potential for lots of other business conflicts. So it really isn"t as straight forward as it may appear.
Can I just clarify on one other question that was raised a couple of days ago back in the thread. Using DTD as an example, if players were reserving seats for a number of WCOAP events for example, they would only be charged one reservation fee. If they are at the venue we know players are very much more likely to play the events they have reserved.
This isn"t about money for APAT, it"s about ensuring we operate as efficiently as possible.
