Good post....all of the above is correct. The event will go on sale from the home page at www.apat.com from 9pm tomorrow evening. The event will be capped at 70 runners and payment will be via debit card.
Good luck to everyone in the sat tonight.

Des,
Could you please let us know the intended start time for these side events.
Thanks

Hi Mike,
They are scheduled as daytime events - so with a 2.30pm start. We have also capped the field size to 70 runners in the Omaha and 50 runners in the Razz and Stud. If there is demand for the side events we will extend the festival and increase field sizes in Season Three. The main event will have a 200 capacity and be run as all other APAT National Championship events.
-
Will the list of runners for the Omaha event be posted before the click fest for the main event on the 25th?

i"d have thought the Razz and Stud events would be capped at a number that is a multiple of 8, or are they being played 10 handed??
-
Wow Rob, that would be a thick deck, well spotted.
Opposite to not spotting Quads...LOL!!
There was a lot going on though, hopefully see you in London M8y.

I"m probably being really thick here, and I don"t play Stud or Razz too often..... please go easy on me if I"m asking a daft question.... BUT, even if the table has 8 seats, surely there aren"t enough cards in the deck to deal everyone a hand if all 8 stay in until 7th street? 8x7=56 right? and in my deck there are only 52 cards....
-
You deal a community card in the middle
-
so if enough people take enough streets that there aren"t enough to deal a 7th to all, everyone shares a single community card to play as 7th street?

That is correct!

So are these side events going to be on the same 10k stack and 40 min clock?
-
They are non ranking one day events where players are scheduled to have 3,000 chips on a 30 minute clock. Until later this evening when the Omaha goes on sale, we really don"t know whether their will be any demand to play in the side events, so this year will be a bit of a learning experience.

You posted the answer to my question... just as I was asking... but on the wrong thread... spooky!!
Unfortunately, it"s not the answer I was looking for... I was looking forward to a nice deepstack Omaha tournament... but I don"t think I will be travelling for a 3000 / 30 min jobbie... shame. :"(
-
We"d like it to be a longer structure, and if we get a smaller field than expected (more likely with Stud and Razz I suspect) then we may look to increase starting chips to give more play. However, it is important that each event finishes in a single day.
-
Hopefully i"m in ??? - got a receipt from metachange and the following page has appeared:
Transaction Completion
Congratulations on registering a seat for your chosen APAT event. You will shortly receive a transaction receipt from Metacharge, confirming the event name and the entry fee.
So i look forward to seeing you all at the Vic on 27th ;D

I think I just managed to enter this although I paid with a mastercard. I noticed after that no.3 on your list of conditions says that you only accept debit cards..Does that mean I"ve messed up and I"ll have to do it again?
Anyway I"m really looking forward to these and I"m gonna try and play in em all. I"ve been trying to play in an Apat event for ages but have always had something on.
-
We will be switching to debit card only payments during the week, but it was possible to use a MasterCard this evening.

Wish we could have confirmed starting chips before 9pm

It is scheduled for 3,000 Rich. As I said, we may review that and increase based on a decreased field size, but worst case is 3,000.
-
3000 will probably be enough for razz or stud tbh.
work commitments stop me playing the omaha but hopefully will be able to play the razz. Cant have the british cowboy playing by himself now can we??
Q lots of innuendo
-
am in hopefully- can i just confirm credit card rather than debit is ok?- am hopfully coming down for the 4 events- hotel is booked anyway. so will I be able to pay for the others with credit card? just need to rejig the finances if i cant- not a drama- am really looking forward to the week anyway.
-
Hi M8
would be good to catch up
Hopefully see you there
-
too right mate- look forward to it.

I registered for this at 9pm last night, I agree with WarBwastard, it would have been nice to have some kind of structure briefing before the tickets went on sale, being an APAT event I naturally assumed it would have a fairly deep structure, perhaps not 10k for a 1 day event but 5k seems reasonable as has been pointed out.
It is Omaha after all
-
Our objective will be to put on the best event possible. We needed a little demand information to get to a final decision on stack sizes as we have not ran these side events previously. So give us a few days to put the variables together and if we can get the stack size to 10,000, then we will. I would say that looks possible for the Omaha particularly.
-
Great to hear!

It"s my turn to be a touch slow here... is this Omaha High or Hi/Lo?
I"ve just bought my seat but I didn"t think to check first.
-
Feel free to ignore that, i found out from another thread that it is High.
-
Just to add my two penneth, I would really appreciate it if the Omaha event starting chips could be set higher.
5000 would be better, but for a "World" event, 10,000 is surely the way to go. this would give us lots of scope to play, and we all know, omaha is an "Action" game.
Just 3000 chips would effectively turn the event into a coin flip tournament. Whoever happens to get the best hands early on has such an advantage.
(With 80 players only, we"re bound to finish at some point in the early hours without risk of going over to second day)
Cheers

Even with 80 players, my money is on this one being the earliest finisher as I suspect there will be a lot of players involved with little experience of the game and this tends to lead to lots of bit pots early
-
On the basis of the response so far from APAT and those that will be playing - i think it is fair to think that the starting chips stack for the Omaha event will be in excess of 3,000 (at least 5,000 and ideally 10,000)
I think its also fair to say that most players would be happy to play until the early hours to finish this game rather than see it end up as a crapshoot
-
Just as an FYI
Gutshot hold a really good omaha event on tuesday evenings at 8pm, now they use a 30 min clock, and you get 5,000. Now with aroun 60 runners. They finish around 2am at the lastest. So starting at half 2, you"ll be finished in no time. So i think 5,000 minium, but 10,000 would turn it into a great event.
People love to POT, so i"m sure the money will go in!
