I was aware both before and after changing the date
Had to change because of the unavailability of hotel space in Cardiff on Speedway day
Wherever possible we"ve put APAT events on the last weekend of every month. Why? Well when I was working out the calendar this was the weekend usually free of GUKPT, UKIPT, DTD etc events which were already announced through 2011
and I thought it would be useful for everyone to know when to expect APAT events...be known for a certain weekend when you can expect an APAT
That said, the schedule in UK Poker is ever more crowded...and clashes are inevitable...there is a big one with the WCOAP for example where two sets of organisers (we were one) chose a clear date and then clashed unaware what the other had coming up!
More and more formats, competitions, providers etc
Good news for the players, and hopefully APAT's players will be loyal to what we"ve created innit. Or else I am coming round to raid your fridge, and beer cupboard.
After all, we run the best team events (and deepstacks, and new formats), don"t we? and there is going to be a corker at Luton in October
