APAT Season Two Briefing

[DarthClubs]

I"m amazed, the amount of information to take in is astounding,
even my ducks stopped quacking.

Des, top stuff in organizing all this, i"m sure when its all up and running then ppl will
all begin to get used to all the different structures and events.

APAT is my 1st foray into live events and if season 2 gives me and my duck more
chances of playing live in well organized, well structured fun events then its all good as far as i can see.

All the duck wants is a gold medal lol, more vents = more chances lol

Well done and thanks to you all

See you all in Luton hopefully

Quack Quack for now

loads of great things in store for season 2

my only snag is i really enjoy playing the apat deepstack games and with an 3 hour drive to any venues in our region plus all the rest of the cost of getting there  etc just to play with 2500 chip starts, what would the blinds start at? 5-10? 25-50?

[APAT]

Might have missed it (and I"m sure Mark will have ), but what will the structure be for the regional events?

80 runners, so are we talking 5,000 stacks, 30 minute blinds (with a 150/300 level  ) - or something similar?

Also, how will places in these events be determined?  Places bought at the casino, online, via APAT?  Apologies if you"ve answered these elsewhere.

Might be an idea to have a question and answer session in Luton at the next event Des.  Maybe in the bar area...that way those that are there can be well informed of what"s going on and help answer any questions on the forum.  Just an idea.

Seat allocation at Regionals still tbc, although I have to say it will almost certainly via each Regional Casino, or book ahead via your local Casino.  We will advise definitively in the near future as we have a little time on this.

Structure....assum standard APAT with shorter chipstack and slightly shorter clock. 

Q  & A in the bar...sounds like a set up to me

Would this have to be done in person? Because like some others my "local" casino isn"t very local to me so having to travel to get a seat and then having to get another train to play - multiplied by 5, could get expensive.

Also, as alluded to elsewhere is there any idea  of the scheduling for the regional events? As an example the last train I can get leaving London to get home departs at 11pm - would there be any chance of a tournament finishing by this time - or am I likely to need to book a hotel for each of the regionals?

Des,

When will the posts become available, and how soon do you want them filled? Will there be a vote by the members or will the hierachy decide?

Will the regional managers be able to play in the regional events?

We will put some specifics up around the roles in the next two weeks Jimmy.  These will be business appointments as opposed to member.  However, we will be asking the members to make some appointments prior to Season Two starting, to represent the members in policy making.

what is wrong with grosvenor huddersfield? 100 seat card room,brand spanking new tables. sign em up please ,then i can make at least 1 game :as:

[Robbiebox]

Can I ask is there likely to be a full years Diary published for season 2.

Will you have dates set in stone or will it be produced as the year progresses. I know it requires a lot of negotiating and organising, but I"m sure all members would very much welcome this as early as possible.

The more I look at the plans the more I think you have done a really good job of accomodating all the different issues.
