As for the pies - Am I the only one who thought they were nice?

I was neither over or underwhelmed and managed 2 - free food should never be questioned only eaten.

There is no innocent and guilty here, the guy did not break any rules, so he has nothing to answer for and he is almost certainly unaware of this thread. That said, he needs to understand what our general expectations are in these situations and he will be informed of that. Other than that, no witch hunt here please, that"s not our style either.

I totally agree and I think the thread is best off left for now (or locked) as too many people are having too much to say and to be totally honest I"m uncomfortable with some of the baying that is going on in here.
As in Walsall I didn"t see or hear anything that went on (although I did leave the casino early :-[) so I cannot comment but I do find it hard to understand people who didn"t witness an incident to pass judgement.
However, in Cardiff I did witness a horrific incident that I quietly PM"d Des about but my big mistake at the time was not getting an APAT organiser to witness it and as Des stated if these incidents occur bring it to their attention real time.
As for the OP - that situation sucks but I guess it will never happen to you again.
As for trash talk - it happens, you want to try sitting on a table with Gosney and Barry Neville.
As for people not being able to handle their beer and becoming violent -Bang out of order and I"m sure they will regret it.
As for the dealers - They were bad but our table was good at watching and helping him (table 9).
As for the pies - Am I the only one who thought they were nice?

the horrific incident in cardiff Des cant do anything about Dewi going out 1st hand hes a fish

I had an excellent weekend. Spent the whole of Saturday @ table3, great day and great experience.
I must have broken the rules, as we had a small incident. I had folded my blind, some error occurred and the T.D. said hand dead, redeal. After this on the offbeat, i passed my blind to my right(the player who had raised), and still had his cards. I thought i was being honest??
Luckily, listening to the the thread, i waited for buffet queue to go down. The food had gone down also on arrival, and i managed to find one small sausage roll. I left straight at the end of play, and this was all i had to eat between breakfast on Sat a.m. to Sun a.m. Do i get a medal for this????
Our table was lively and jovial, but very pleasant and respectful all through the day. Dealer was not experienced but we too, helped along the way.
I played @ circus which was self dealt, also a private dealer on the cash, whom pays the house for the privilidge, and relies on tips. Valets were far and few between here also, but nowhere near as rare as the Maybury. Nowhere near on the ball as last year ???
I can"t say i saw any vulgar or abusive behaviour of note. i would have probably had to say something, or break the atmosphere :D
Anyways APAT FTW :)

I remember when APAT was first conceived, one of it"s aims was to strive towards getting a standardised set of rules for UK tournament poker, and that APAT's set of rules would apply at all events. I know APAT had it"s own TD for a short while, but I had presumed that when it was decided that cardrooms" own TDs would run the tournament, that they would be applying APAT, rather than house, rules.
Have I understood correctly, or are APAT tournaments now just played according to the rules of the venue?

APAT rules to apply at all venues
This particular venue needed to do significantly more than it had done to familiarise the TD/dealers with APAT rules before the event....the rules having been sent to them well beforehand. The fact that they did not was a contributory factor to some of the confusions that arose

having waited to see what was being said , heres my tuppence worth ,
1) In the spirit of APAT the player who got wrong amount of chips back shouldve noticed immediately ( i would"ve) as for not realiseing i doubt it but enough said on that
2) behaviour , I didnt see what went on as i had already left but speaking to folks and reading this it seems to me that this was way worse than the goings on at walsall , i know scouse very well and , ok he swore a bit and was his usual self but thats what makes him who he is , the other involved at Walsall i had a brush with but even that was mild compared to the individual at Edinburgh Im pretty sure APAT will deal with him accordingly
3) the food , its all u folk from south of the border who dont know what a scotch pie is supposed to taste like ( ie crap ) thats why we dont eat them , seriously ive played regionals and been at scottish nationals before and the food was always streets ahead of the fare served up at this years event
