Title: APAT Season 2 - Online Series
Post by: RioRodent on August 11, 2007, 18:29:17 PM
Online Series

Why has the buy-in been reduced to $10? In this thread on the APAT forum - http://www.apat.com/forum/index.php?topic=52.0 - there was almost unamimous support for keeping it at $20. I know there are twice as many tournaments, Thu & Sat nights, but people don"t have to play every one of them... I assume that the weekday one was added as a result of people complaining that Saturday was not a good night for them. Has anyone complained that the $20 buy-in is too much?

I believe it was changed to $10 + $1 so to keep the weekly cost at $20 +$2.

I think the reduction in entry fee is a good move as I believe it will encourage more new players into our fold. However, I hope APAT will have some leverage with Blue Square and alter the tourneys to 15 minute blind levels from the site"s usual 10 minutes

If the Thursday night game is going to start at 8.00 with 5000 chips, with 15 minute blinds with bigger fields due to the cost and beginning of a new season, what time will it finish?  

You can not have the structure as we have now, is it possible to have to structures one for Thursday and one for Saturday?
