Phil_Crozier:
Confusing indeed, my suggestion is all people who know they can"t make it inform Des in advance, then players from the "fastest losers" list can be contacted before the event and asked whether or not they would like a seat. Then that list should be wiped out the day before the event and people form a new list on the day but can"t see many dropping out that late.

kinboshi:
Not sure either Jon, but if someone wants a refund, I guess they"ll have to inform APAT before the start - otherwise they"re entered (and so get no refund) and blinded away until whatever level when their stack is removed and an alternate gets a place. 

They tell APAT they can"t play beforehand, they get their refund, and a "doorstep reserve" gets their seat.

Phil_Crozier:
I"d say that sounds pretty good, but at what stage does a reserve on the day get to buy-in if people haven"t turned up? end of level 1? first break? and do they get a full stack or the blinded away stack?

I think there"ll be two levels here.

Reserves who get a seat before it starts - and they obviously get the same as everyone else.  Easy enough.

Then the alternates.  Not sure how that works, but there"ll be rules in place that the casinos use.  It"s only just been introduced here, but it"s the norm in the US and elsewhere.  I think you get a full starting stack, and alternates are allowed up to a certain level (say the end of level 2 for example).

Jon MW:
Has APAt resolved whether alternates will be allowed or not yet?
