THE OFFICIAL: APAT SEASON 6 - Discussion...
« on: April 13, 2011, 10:11:29 AM »
I know we are only one event into Season 5, but this is something that that struck me when the current schedule was announced. And when it comes to laying out the schedule for next year, it can never be too soon to give it consideration.

------------------


For many regular APAT players Season 5 will have become essentially a five [main] event series, running from March to August, with a month off in June.

Events from September through January "12 will prove inaccessable to most, due to cost/time off work/team selection. I am not suggesting that these events should not take place, just that they should be spread though the year.

A schedule that has a UK event every two months, culminating in the World Champs at DTD in January, might hold peoples interest better.

Whilst the poker calendar is very congested these days, I don"t think there is any need to worry about clashes with anything that has a buy-in of £300+.

Are Bank Holiday weekends the right time to schedule events? Does it exclude more players with family commitments, than those that it attracts?

------------------


Disclaimer: I realise that there are many other outside influences that shape the APAT schedule and that may be why the season 5 schedule is the way that it is.

These points are all entirely fair Alan. As you say though, a lot of factors were at play this time round. I have the scars to prove it!

Is this the official "season 6 coming soon" thread?



Seriously, I have some ideas for Season 6 - do I post here or PM someone?

He doesn"t tend to plan this far ahead, so will appreciate how thoughtful members are to get things discussed early.

But that"s point, surely it"s better to have the ideas and suggestions put forward before the planning starts?

I don"t think the scheduling needs any real work (at least from the point off view of a middle aged single fellow with no kids).

I love the fact that it"s worked (this year) around Bank Holidays...less vacation days to use up at work. In fact as we get another "extra" Bank Holiday next year that"s what I mentioned to Des in Coventry.

Of course, the biggest hurdle is the sponsors. Closing the deal is the jumping off point...without them, nothing can get confirmed and if the sponsors can"t be confirmed until February/March (as has nearly happened, I understand) then everything grinds to a halt. Rich and Leigh can do all the planning they need to...but if the money doesn"t materialise...it all goes up in smoke.

My suggestion for the WCOAP next year....less Hold"Em events.

Let"s have a proper Specialist WCOAP Series at DTD over 5 days....I"d turn up for that.
