Is there going to be an indivedual online title or does the points go to the overall title?

Going to presume that the side games will get mixed up? (Hi/Lo, Razz ect)

Individual title remains for the Main Event, so the North American Online Championship


Yes, the plan will be to mix up the side events to showcase everything that the software can offer. Get ready for the PLO Hi/Lo Turbo Heads Up event :)

When are online sats going to start for S11 Events?

Great question Tom.

We've got a number of Main Event buyins throughout Season 11 from our standard £75+£7, to £75+£8 at the Goliath, to €110 in Belgium, to €120 in Dublin and then back to a £110 for the WCOAP in Manchester.

This makes it very difficult to put out a consistent weekly live satellite for our main events, plus we'd like to keep within the Grosvenor satellite tree and make it a Step 3 (so £28+£2) to buyin to any weekly main event satellite.

One option is to make the satellites for packages, so say a £150 package, and you choose the event you want to play and get the remainder back in cash on the day.  That adds an element of admin to the process, but give maximum flexibility.

What do players think ?

Seems like a good idea.  Could you also use a Step 3 ticket to buy in to a side event (assuming these are £30 entry).

That would be a possibility, just need to work out the mechanism to make it work.

Any chance of a Razz or Stud Hi Lo SE for the Irish Championships, preferably on Saturday night :)

I'm 99% certain that Razz is not a current option on the network.  Will check on Stud Hi/Lo though.

Have got a couple of new NLHE variants to try though, so will probably switch up one of the existing NLHE to a bounty or survivor game.

Can I suggest a smaller starting stack if you run a rebuy game again. 20K (for an instant rebuy) meant not many rebuys and at a pound a go I'm sure there would have been many more.

Will have a look at this.

There were only 23 runners, with 51 rebuys/addon.

The previous rebuy we ran had 38 runners, with 80 rebuys/addons.

So it is running at roughly £3 per player on average, but perhaps doesn't need to be quite as deep.

The WCOAP Online 2018 starts this Sunday. The full schedule is up on the forum and I will be posting details on Facebook over the next few days, but I wanted to draw everyone's attention to the first event of the week. For the first time ever, we are running a £110 High Roller.

It will run with the same structure as the online Main Event (10k stack, 15 min levels) and starts at 6pm on Sunday. We have set up a number of direct satellites into this event, so players can get in from just 25p using the Grosvenor daily step satellites.

The APAT High Roller Direct satellites will run Thursday, Friday & Saturday at 8pm and at 2pm & 4pm (Turbo) on Sunday. They all require 2 runners to start and will gtd 1x£110 Direct entry into the High Roller on Sunday.

Just play.  We pick up aliases through Grosvenor and allocate to Real Names for Season 11 Rankings and WCOAP Player Of The Series.

Bloody newbies asking silly questions  ;)
