What I"m saying (for those who don"t understand me) is on the Sunday there is a £25+£5 for a £500 WCOAP passport but if you are not intending ongoing there"s no point in playing. However if you could have the £500 cash instead then this would boost runners plus would not exclude anybody.
Is the seat exchange still in operation?

Don"t worry about it Wayne, you"ll be closing in on the FT of the Team Championships to be bothered about that!! ;)

I see what Wayne is saying. Basically if he bought in with the condition that if he won a package he could take the cash alternative instead as it would generate an extra package for everybody to play for which would be a good thing for the tournament.

I don"t quite see how taking £500 out of the prizepool adds an extra passport package since they are funded from the prizepool.

Realistically whilst I agree with Paulie (it should be use it or lose it) I think this is likely to have to be allowed or players like myself and a lot of the other regs who have already booked and paid for everything just won"t play.

I agree the timing is awkward. I would fancy this but I won"t need a hotel since I"m only 40 minutes away AND I can"t play the ME as my chosen side events are the PLO and PLO8.
Ideally, I would like the cash in my skyrocket but my belief in the way the satellite/passport package system should work means I would be a hypocrite to enter.
Still, if APAT says I can take the monkey I may just have to grin and bear it and let my soul be darkened.

Well there is no guarantee who would win so it probably would not be £500 out of the prize pool but I get your point.
I also understand the point about not loving have to play under those circumstances but the event will need support so I will probably play it.

Assuming this was done 3 or 4 days ago, maybe the casino are waiting for someone to ask for it ? There is a lot of excitement and anticipation amongst the players, just saying... ;)

If When we get the draw, I"ll edit my spreadsheet so players can view by table and by team - as long as APAT are ok with this, that is.
