APAT seats on offer

Thanks to blonde being the best forum in the universe (according to APAT voters), the forum was awarded an APAT seat as a prize for us to use as we see fit.
THEN Tighty goes and wins one for being voted (again on the APAT forum) an all round good chap
and kindly donated his prize to blonde.
This leaves me with 2 seats to an APAT event and with Dublin approaching and the Vic to come, I have to find a way of adding the APAT seats to a blonde comp.
This is where you guys come in.
what comps do you want to play to get your chance of winning a seat ?
the options so far are ..
$20 freeze normal payouts we add 1 seat (at least this will mean the winner gets a few $ for expenses) obv I run 2 of these 1 seat awarded in each.
2 x $20 freezeouts run as a mini league with the top two overall each getting a seat (4 payouts as normal)
feel free to add your thoughts and opinions, but I need to schedule the comps asap so will have to pick one by first thing tomorrow AM.
Plus obviously I need to get a rough estimate of numbers who would play ... so please post and let me know.
Cheers.

Nice one Tighty and Kev
Either option is good for me, although one event would save me $20
Will play

The Vic is the better option to be honest, as the demand will be higher and therefore competition for seats will be tougher.
I'd play definitely.
I like the league idea - and you could even make it run over a greater number of tournaments, maybe 5 or so, with the best 3 scores counting (or something like that).

My suggestion for the 3 out of 5 was that some people might not be able to play all of them (they might have other engagements or be ill, etc.) and so it's not really fair to penalise them for this. Obviously, there is a benefit to playing all 5 as you have a greater opportunity to get good finishes.
I also like the $20 buy-in, as it means there is more money in the prize pool and it's not just the seat that's being played for.
imo obv.

I like that suggestion - but it'd have to be Sunday morning, at 3.35 (ldo).

It was only meant as a joke.
Come on, many people have had a "joke" on me over the last month - some more malicious than others.
I thought it was very tame in comparrison and did not warrant deletion
Not getting enough Kev? Or is it time of the month?

Agree with Kin (am I losing it??)
Will it be a seat for each (Vic & Dublin) and if so would there be enuff time to run a league b4 the Dublin event? Or would the seat winners have the choice?
Again many thanks Kev & Tighty.
