There were very few no shows, but it is not an option to remove them from the event.

Its the law!

Is it the law?
Different casinos have different methods of blinding them out - some make them post the BB every hand. Others, like this weekend, only post their blinds once per orbit.
If the rules on APAT events said that you forfeit your right to play (and lose your entry fee) if you don"t arrive or notify the organisers before a certain time - would that be acceptable or is that not possible?
I didn"t think it was much of an issue, we had one no show on the first table I was on. However, just as the blinds were getting serious and I was in the perfect position to steal them - I was moved to another table (which had a no show on it as well).
In fact one of the most enjoyable hands of the day for me came after one of the short breaks. SB hadn"t returned, and the BB was a no show. I was UTG+1 and flat called. Lots of laughing around the table who decided that I must have a monster as I didn"t raise to steal the blinds on offer. Everyone folded and I took the blinds with a call ;D.

What would happen if say 1 person phones up after the tournament has started and sais they wont be able to make it.
Would an alternate then be able to take their seat?

Fantastic weekend - thoroughly enjoyed myself.
We had a no-show on our table. Aparently he started a fight there the night before and was barred!!
Only one thing to moan about - That blinking cabaret singer. It was all happending a really important time in the tournament for me. I made a button raise with A10 and was re-raised all in. I really needed to think hard about what to do and simply couldnt because of her screaming out that titanic number behind me.
Really - Could they not have had that going on that evening. I mean it was the UK championship and a little respect to the game by the G casino would have been nice.
Apart from that it was a great weekend. Just a little shame things like that happen - thoughts?
Flush!:
I was at your same table and i agree with you the singing and really off putting.
They should not have done in considering the APAT was on and it was becoming into the important time of the night.
I have to say i crashed out in 80th (about) and i had a few decisions which i needed a little thinking but you could not hear yourself think in there,
anyway will make sure i take some ear muffs next time,
