Alternates: A clarification

(1/4) > >>

TightEnd:
Don"t think we"ve mentioned this, and for some it will be their first experience of playing in an event with alternates at the weekend

As you know any players unfortunate enough to go out in the first two levels will be replaced from a list of alternates

When that Alternate takes his/her seat the player is required to post a "dead" small/big blind on the first hand they are dealt

eg blinds 25-50, post 75. This is "dead". to play the hand the player still needs to at least call the big blind to continue on

makes sense, but i dont get why there is a need to replace people who go out in the first 2 rounds with alternates??

If people fall out, then there out - why put more in??

TightEnd:
because the new British casino rules allow for alternates, it would be rather backward not to offer this in APAT Championships

It also allows a few more mebers the chance to play in an over-subscribed event

asarge:
so am i right in thinking that if 10 alternates play. then places 21st-30th finishers will receive £75 each?!

kinboshi:
Also worth reiterating what you"ve previously stated that those knocked out will not be able to enter the tournament again as an alternate.
