hey haven't announced it yet. This is what they've said so far. And that's all I know for sure.
As you know, we announced plans to launch the inaugural season of the Latin American Poker Tour (LAPT). The original plan was to hold 8 tournaments the first year in 8 different Latin American locations. We have since revised that plan to include four tournaments the first year and then move to eight tournaments for the second season. We are currently negotiating with casinos in several locations and hope to announce the first four locations within the next few weeks. The response we have received from all over the world has been amazing. We are optimistic that the Tour’s first year will be financially successful and prove to the poker world that Vega has the knowledge, resources, and commitment to make the LAPT successful.
The whole thing is in the upper left corner "Shareholder Update".

Considering that were already in month 4 of the year, April, I would imagine that the schedule will be out shortly.

I not sure but since they wanted to do 8 tourneys in one year, that would mean one every 6.5 weeks. Would that be 4 weeks to schedule one and 2-2 1/2 weeks to play one. Since they're only going to do 4 this year, and we have 36-37 weeks left in the year. I assume it would have to start a tourney around 6 weeks from now. You figure it out. Schedule out in 2 weeks?

It's just my opinion, and I would definitely like ANYONE elses on how long it takes to run a tourney!!!!!!!!!!!
