bank holidays have the final on a bankholiday monday

...but there are only so many Bank Holidays, & many folks treat Bank Holidays as family occasions, with their kids. And another Poster asked us to try & avoid "clashes", and on Bank Holidays, every Card-Room worth it's salt holds Events.

Not all employers give bank holidays as holidays...

Not all UK countries share the same bank holidays...

Don't hotels charge more for Bank Holiday weekends as well?

yep!

[Ironside]

we get something like 12 bank holidays a year

we would proberly need only use 2 of them (scotland and wales)

as the UK and english events could be held at bigger casinos or dtd

ireland i believe has more room vegas as many as we want and europe all depends on where we go

now giving up 2 bankholidays to fullfill your hobby isnt that bad

and as its only 2 you can make them UK wide bankholidays

the PROs will all be at min festivals so that gets rid of them wanting to play

and as for not all people get bank holidayd off

alot of people work weekends and have to take days off if they want to play

problem with 2 1st days though is that it might make the 2 day very long not finiishing till the early hours of he morning

unless we alter teh levels or we could play till 2-3 am on the day 1s

yep!

depends on your location

some hotels reduce there prices on bank holidays as they havent got the business trade and they arent in tourist locations

I'm not a huge fan of the Bank Holiday idea, but I also think that it would be worth trying it out.

If, for example, the Wales tournament in season 2 was held over a bank holiday weekend then the demand and feedback from that could be used to see if it had an overall positive or negative effect.

I know the Poker schedule is quite full now, but can you try and avoid UK Main Fessie events? Or is that impossible?

Sadly I will miss the Scotland Leg as it now clashes with Lutons Spring Fest.

I think you will find that's not really a problem for APAT as almost all of the members don't play festivals. Something to do with the first A in APAT.

Nevermind James, continue the way you are, and you will need to get a job.

THEN you too can play APAT events

I would also extimate that over 60% of runners in festival events are NOT Pro's ;p

Based on the definition many gave on the original APAT thread re: what the definition of a pro I would say 99.9% of festival players are not pro's.

Not likely, i understand the concepts of bankroll management and game selection.

Yes, but you still need to pull in your MTT cashes, as you yourself admit you cannot play cash.

So,so so many sites now show FULL MTT stats as well

In the UK there are 8 Bank Holidays this year & 3 of those are Christmas Day, Boxing Day & New Years Day. Of the other 5, 2 are on the same weekend (Easter) which is generally in April & the other 2 are in May!

HU SNG's pay pretty well!

Got to say I am suprised nobody else seems to really have got behind my idea of a heads-up event being added.  Be it online or at a live venue.  I think itd be great and its one of those events that everyone could enter, be drawn and have progressing over a numbers of weeks, culminating in say the last 10 matches.

Headsup online would be a good event (but only online). Maybe it could be added to the last major event online. I would look forward to that.

At least this shows the APAT has massive interest, and will continue to grow, everyone wants to play in the events, and it is moving forward (thanks to Des, Tighty and Tikay).

One thing I would like to know is how many people registered an interest in playing in the event in Edinburgh.

Heads up would be an interesting addition - as would a Omaha tourney.

But I think the Holdem tournaments need to be sorted first, and then they can consider looking at adding further formats.
