Are the regional APAt tournaments going to be open to non-APAt members?
It seems the most practical way of selling tickets to these is at the venue on a first come first serve basis (ie like most of them), but if this did happen then how could they know who was a member and who wasn"t?

members only, registered before the night...

How do the casinos know who"s a member?

Erm..and would I have to make two trips to the venue...one to register and another to play?
Seems illogical, Captain!

post Sept 1 you can buy in over the phone

Apologies if I"ve missed it somewhere but has it been confirmed which Scottish casino is going to be used for the Regionals?
-

So, someone who plays in one Bluesq APAT event is placed on a big list that is emailed to all the casinos that are hosting the regional APAT events?

Not yet Alan, no. Season Two will start in October so this information will follow, as will Regional registration details.

Dan, its my understanding that there is a differing level of membership that would stop this
Anyone who is a member of BSquare can play in the online events, but is not entitled to play in the live events.

APAT has a new organisational membership level. Blue Square and Grosvenor are both organisational members of APAT, as are two or three official partners that we still have to announce ahead of Season Two. What that means is that any player joining APAT via these organisations will get a free full membership.

Apologies,,,,,Still getting my head around the season 2 finer details..
-
;D Me too!

I"ll get Caz to explain it to me :D

So that means anybody going to any Grosvenor will get free and instant membership of APAt.
Will they have to fill in any paperwork for this with their details for APAt to have a record of?
-
Like you said Jon, anyone signing up on the night will automatically be an APAT member.
This makes things easier to manage I guess, but also means that all sorts of people will be playing in the regionals. Again, this will attract more people to APAT tournaments both on and offline. So, this sounds like a good thing - it just means that "APAT" will be different. Bigger, more players, greater awareness - all things that APAT wants, but this could be at the expense of some of the camaraderie. Possibly.

But how will APAt keep track of them?
The current membership is by email address - the second season paves the (quite sensible) way of people who (shock, horror) don"t have email addresses.
What kind of details will APAt have on these new members to know who they are?
-
I haven"t got a clue. I think that membership numbers (and maybe cards?) might need to be brought in at some time - possibly.
-
Grosvenor and Blue Square will supply APAT with all of the relevant contact details, including email address, for each competing player.
-
....But I still don"t know who"s on first....
-
Yes. Yes, he is.
-
What"s on first?
-
No, What"s on second.
-
I don"t know ;D

OOOhhhh tasty...yet more tasty surprises to look forward to for Season 2!!!!
-
Surely just a membership card will do, or some kind of annotation on each individual players entry on the Grosvenor database???
Does sound like a real headache though!!!! I"m absolutely certain Des, Rich & Tikay have thought of these problems though and have a solution in place ;D
-
I don"t know ;D
...on 3rd.

Anyone gonna be playing at aspers, what kinda numbers are you expecting? just so i can get the calculator out and work out my chances of winning lol
-
I have yet to play in an APAT tournament because by the time I have recieved the email notification the events have been sold out.
Are you considering restricting players to their own nominated region to enable more players the chance to compete.
If you and BlueSQ are actively promoting membership and (as is very likely) increase your membership dramaticaly, you will be hearing a lot more sob stories and complaints from people who are unable to register in time.
I wish the APAT all the success in the world, you really deserve it. So much accomplished in so short a time.
Can"t wait for the new season to kick off.

That is odd. The emails normally came out a good week before click fest to announce the online qualification details. We then got a reminder the day before about the clickfest.
