Exciting schedule guys.

1 tip - I was in Prague at more or less the same time last year and it"s bloody cold.

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!


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. :)

..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 :(  


Nothing in the North West since Season 5  :( Better make sure I get the car serviced  ;)

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.

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  ;)

Needless to say this looks excellent. Really, Really, Really good.

Really happy to see Dublin there and Stoke too. The event in Vegas is an unexpected bonus as well.

I am certainly nailed on for the first three (Coventry, Cardiff and DTD), also Vegas and Dublin. Might have to miss Glasgow sadly due to needing too many days off work lol. After that we will see but will be attending as many as possible.

I can see what Steve means about the gap between September and Feb to be honest, even though I would ideally like to be in Prague as well it does depend on time off work though. That being said there is so much to fit in to such an excellent season.

Hopefully the venue for WCOAP can be confirmed as DTD, it just would not feel right having it at a lesser venue (and unless we are taking that to Vegas too every venue is a lesser venue).

Great announcement.

Still trying to think of something amusing to write in this bit.

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?? :)

Yes very conscious of this although I"ve regularly driven to Scotland on the morning of that leg, from Surrey!  A train ride can be very pleasant also and booked in advance, not too expensive.

We"ve always held events at DTD during the summer bank holiday, before the Goliath and since. A lot of players come from Coventry to Nottingham after being knocked out.
