Best Tournament Structure in Asia
ASPT is a “really deep” tournament where you play slowly from the middle of the tournament to the end, not an “ostensibly deep” tournament with lots of starting chips, but it becomes turbo after all Structure after intermediate stages (fast game progression). I will provide one.
While many tournaments may start with big stacks, they often end up being turbo structures where the game progresses quickly. However, ASPT strives to provide a truly in-depth tournament experience, allowing players to engage in strategic play from the mid to late game.

Re-evaluation of “delayed registration”
There is a glaring unfairness to late registration in that the longer the closure, the more losses will be lost to players who were seated from the start of the tournament.
The system is only for the convenience of players, and should never be a tool to create a lot of unfair phenomena or earn operation reentry times.
ASPT aims to achieve player supremacy by looking back on this inordinate amount of time.
Players who enter from an early stage will suffer some financial injustice due to the lengthy time until late registration.
“Late Registration” must not create significant inequalities or be exploited by the organizers.
The second ASPT Championship will be held in Taiwan, Asia’s peaceful haven.
