APAT Bunch Of Fives Leaderboards on 888poker
Marty719:
Please don"t remove late reg from any 888/APAT tournaments. It helps people who get in late from work play, and also improves the numbers/prizepool. Since the prizes are top heavy and consistent results are required (not mid-table), then I dnt see how its a big thing for this promotion.
ps - as its an option to everyone, surely those who thinks its an unfair advantage could late-reg themselves???
PantsMan:
Surpised people are seeing late regging as some kind of advantage. The reason i"m not playing this week is that the starts are too early as i"m having to work late and if I were to play i"d have to late reg to most games. That to me is a big disadvantage. I"m coming in short stacked and miles behind the leaders. Yes i may pick up points for finishing 30th - 50th but i doubt the top players are going to be topping the leaderboard with a bunch of mediocre finishes.
Late reg is available on most of the top sites and in lots of live games too but i avoid it unless i have to. It"s certainly not giving players an advantage.

I"m sorry if that sounded like an accusation John, it was merely a hypothesis. I"m not having a go at yourself or anyone else. I just prefer to know the size of the field when a tourney begins.
If not having a late finish is a consideration, then it seems counterproductive to encourage the number of runners to swell by 30 or 40% (or possibly more), during the first hour. I"m just having a moan because I played crap last night, I feel rough and the Day Nurse tabs haven"t kicked in yet.. ;)
