We heard about Trap Wife knowing the plan. We were told to be patient. Secret meetings. So where the hell is the plan? Just my opinion but here goes. I am guessing there never was much of a plan.
The plan fell apart in the fall when the ATA EC met with the Cardinal Center. The plan was to have the CC compete with Illinois. That fell apart when the CC said no deal at any price.
The plan is, there is no plan ... Going to keep it a secret so no body knows nuttin ... WPT ... (YAC) ...
Going from entry (money) collectors to actual shoot managers takes time. These guys are way out of their league!
There is a "plan", and it is very clear and basic .... people just keep taking the bait and spend their time talking about the smoke and mirrors. "The PLAN" .... is pay themselves for doing nothing until the bank account is empty. There are not many places in the world that you get "paid" if you fail. But .... the "ATA" and SCOTUS pay well for people doing very little and making stupid decisions.
If the ATA was smart they would contract any shoots they are supposed to host to an established club, (if they can find one, that will deal with them ) and collect the dividends when its over ... It takes more than waving a magic wand to get a shoot organized , those that have done it know what I am talking about ... There is a major disconnect between the ATA and the membership and this can only do harm to the Association in the long run ... WPT ... (YAC) ...
WPT, It's like I was told by one of the Big Wigs a few years ago... We tell the members on a "Need To Know" Basis.
