... it"s only fair that people know what they"re buying.

They do know what they"re buying - it"s a tournament with 3000 starting chips. If they don"t like that they don"t have to buy a ticket.
If they don"t mind that then they can buy a ticket, and if the starting stack increases then they"ve got even better than what they"ve paid for.

In fairness Jon, nothing was said about 3k starting stacks until after I bought by ticket.

They are non ranking one day events where players are scheduled to have 3,000 chips on a 30 minute clock. Until later this evening when the Omaha goes on sale, we really don"t know whether their will be any demand to play in the side events, so this year will be a bit of a learning experience.

Shouldn"t all this go in the Omaha thread maybe?

This is not with me at the moment Mr Rodent but I would hope that APAT has done enough in the last 24 months to earn a bit of trust from our players. You guys will get the best deal possible. So relax a bit......

Des,
It is not a matter of trust, I"m sure you (APAT) will make the starting stack as large as you think you can get away with.
The point is you are selling seats for an event (maybe 3 events) where the starting chips may not be as advertised... and certainly in the case of the Omaha, way too low to be conducive with an event that is advertised as "The World Championship of Amatuer Poker".
This seems to me to be at odds with what APAT is all about... Well structured, Deepstack Tournaments.
My frustration is purely borne from the fact that I really want to play this tournament but, due the travel/accomodation costs involved, I can"t justify entering if, in my opinion, the structure isn"t adequate to allow enough play.
Regards,
Alan

OK, there was a mention of it 2 hours before I bought my ticket deep in the thread.
I"m not criticising APAT at all, I"m sure it"ll be a fantastic tournament, I"m just suggesting that they"ll avoid this whole issue if future tournaments have their structure decided and advertised well before tickets go on sale.

Hi,
I got a seat to this and am listed in the players list. However, as soon as I bought the seat I got the confirmation and £75 was debited from my account. It has now however been credited back to my account. What does this mean? Is my seat not guaranteed after all or is it just a delay? I have double and triple checked and am definitely on the players list, and definitely got my seat while there were still seats left.
Sorry to be a bit paranoid, but its been a week now so I"m a little concerned about this.
