2:30pm 3 x 8 handed, 4 x 7 handed NLHE STT (1st=7pts, 2nd=6pts........7th=1pt, 8th=0pts)
5:30pm 3 x 8 handed, 4 x 7 handed PLO STT (1st=7pts, 2nd=6pts........7th=1pt, 8th=0pts)
9:00pm 39 x HU Matches - 6 per team (1st=4pts, 2nd=0pts)
Total points allocated for Day 1 = 548
Maximum Team points for Day 1 = 80
Day Two

Notes
Due to the 13 teams, we will be running a number of 7 handed STT"s. Points for those tables will be exactly the same as the 8 handed ones, without an 8th place getting 0pts.
The MTT will only alllocate points to the top 26 finishers (50% of the field). We will run hand for hand at 27 (3 tables of 9 players)
All Captains should check in at the APAT Admin desk on the lower tier of the card-room floor on arrival for payment of entry fees and for seat draws.
