I have just spoken to Gala maybury, they are taking bookings at the casino now (no phone bookings.) I would imagine therefore that there won"t be many seats left when it opens on Saturday.
There isn"t anything else on pokerwise on Saturday afternoon in edinburgh so I reckon a lot of the non-Apat locals will take advantage of the free membership to play in a value tourney.
Not complaining as such, but will make it more difficult for Apaters outside Edinburgh to get a seat.

this is news to me Geo, when i called yesterday to ask when they would be open for registration, they stated that it would be from 1pm on sat afternoon.
if they are already taking registrations i would not be surprised if there are no places left by end of play tonight as the regs down there will take the spaces quickly.
i myself will be going tommorrow afternoon 7h 8h 9h th jh after work ;D
will post after i get back to advise of position of registrations
APAT:
Sorry about this everyone. The casinos should not have been selling seats early. As stated in a different thread some days ago, APAT hoped to investigate whether the entry period could be extended, but it was agreed that seats would be sold "on the day" for this event - to give everyone an equal chance of securing a seat.
I will be sending an email to each of the casinos this evening to clarify that seats should not be on sale yet.
Similarly, APAT has sent a Regional Tournament Pack to each casino via the National Poker Managers at Grosvenor and Gala. This information will not be known across the casinos at this point, but obviously everyone will be made aware of the plans for the weekend.
David Whiteford:
Just phoned Gala Maybury and spoke to Andrew in the cardroom. Turns out I was not the 1st to phone, and he said they have taken zero bookings to date, and will not be doing so until he clarifies with APAT whether he should or not.
I advised that he could look at this thread, as APAT has stated clearly what should/should not happen. He said he didnt have acces to internet from where he was, but asked me to post this.
So it seems the Saturday reg is on as planned. See you there :)
busman:
glad to hear it, save me the trip tommorrow ;D
see you all there early sat for reg

I phoned the Vic in London just now and they say they have 2 registered and the cardroom manager said he had had no instructions as to when Reg"s should and shouldn"t take place. I mentioned to him that oin the site it is a same day registration and no pre-reg"s and I am only phoning because someone mentioned it on here that they regg"d. He said the two Reg"s were Gareth or Gerald something and the other a Steve/stuart something, cannot remember to be exact.. He said he would take my word for it that there should be no pre reg"s and would put a note on the PC in order to prevent reg"s.
