I think further clarification may be called for... I have just noticed this in Des" first announcement that alternates wouldbe allowed -

....
Alternates will start with 10,000 chips at the start of level three. Historically, three or four players may be eliminated within the 25:50 and 50:100 levels.

This implies that all alternates will wait until the start of lev 3, regardless of when the people they replace were eliminated?

No that is incorrect, they enter as players are eliminated
APAT:
That was written carelessly. To clarify, alternates will be able to join at the point that exits occur during the first two levels. However, no matter how late into the two levels alternates join, they will do so with 10,000 chips, and be required to post the dead big and small blinds as Richard pointed out above.

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

Could I ask why this is?

We are going with the rule that applies in the Grosvenor estate

Damn, I guessed that would be the answer. I was hoping someone would be able to give a reasoned argument for doing this. :)

I thought I might allow myself the cover of that answer Alan!
