World and European tourneys
duncthehat:
Just please let it not be a click fest.
Heard the rumours of a 400 player event.
Why not 3 or 4 x £15 buy in tourney on stars. One in 5 through
Couple of local live qualifiers in the casino
Then the obligatory clickfest!!
Anyone worked out I am bitter cos my email is so slow I missed Ireland!!
daviesjay:
I"m confident that the APA have all this worked out and that it will all go nice and smooothly even if it is a click fest...
But with it only just over 3 weeks away I can"t see it being anything other than a first come first served e-mail thing

That me have been me speculating..seems likely to be a wee bit smaller than that.
All will be revealed after Thursday.

Pity, "cause Ireland was off the hook, baby!

I reckon that the two Day 1s will be for the same duration or until a certain number of players remain. At the Edinburgh tourney, we were less than a minute from ending day 1 when we were reduced to 20 players. When we resumed the next day, we then played one hand before the blinds increased.
I hope that we get the option of choosing which Day 1. Saturday would suit me fine and not just because Mark wants to play Sunday. As I live in London, it will only take an hour on the train so I don"t need to stay over.
It would be good if there were live and on-line satellites but I would prefer a ballot rather than a click fest. In the past, I have not been able to get to the computer at the set time.

The problem with a ballot is that people will be happy to enter a ballot just in case they can go. So it"s likely to have a higher number of people dropping out.
Whilst this is good for people on the reserve list who are then able to make it to the venue not all of us only live a single short train ride away so it discriminates against those who live too far away.
I think a small proportion of places through satellites and a first come first served "clickfest" is the right balance.
