Okay, there was a poor turn out for the APAT tournament at Wembley, how many of those no shows were none APAT regulars, I would hazard a guess that they were the majority. How many no shows do we get at regular APAT events, not many, and the players that pull out usually let Des, Leigh etc know they can"t make it, am I right?
So why not add the seat reservation cost into the buy in ( I am sure this has already been mentioned) but make it a sum that is chunky enough to raise funds for APAT if there is a no show, and enough to deter the "I can"t be bothered" no show. If some one cant make it and sells their seat on then no foul. I would make it £20 out of the buy in. Just my two pennorth.
