My Q is; as I"ve already bought in for Coventry is it OK to just unregister from it in the lobby if I win a seat tonight?

Yes, not a problem.
Presumably that will randomly give the seat to the lucky person who checks the lobby and sees there"s 119 registered instead of 120?
Or can the "qualified for a comp you"re already registered for" situation be linked to the seat exchange somehow? Seems fairer to give the people who asked first to get any that become available?

In the unlikely event that I win a seat, I"d be happy to attempt a synchronised unregister/register manoeuvre with the first person on the list if it could be arranged.
did the buy in change for tonights sat , as i am seeing 15$+1.50$ ,or have i missed something somewhere

Had to unreg as 888 keeps disconnecting although my internet is connected. 888 does this periodically. So playing freerolls only sorry.

If there is a timebank in any tourny it only appears with about 6 seconds left on your clock. It appears bottom right, just above betting buttons as a long horizontal button with the number of seconds remaining in it. You have to press it before your "normal" timebank runs out.
I doubt there was a timebank with this being a satellite.

Saw a very offensive post on one table last night that was very un-apat like,,directed at a female player.Didnt recognize the culprit and was wondering if all apat comps should need a password to register as before,then if someone over stepped the mark apat could deal with them as it saw fit ??

I agree that all APAT comps and buy-ins etc should be password protected but any offensive chat should be reported to 888 first via the appropriate channels.
If you have a hand history, you could probably email it to them,
thanks paulie,will be quicker next time and make a note of hand history,i see a lot of offensive stuff on various sites and doesnt bother me one bit,but have never encountered it in any apat comp and it just seemed very out of place
i tourned out to be the ticket bubble boy
hi all, played my first apat qualifier in the omaha last night and qualified. Wp and gg all
Lost $50 in cash game, but then binked main event seat $122 and $55 seat in the same night. filed it under variance.
Haven"t been on here in a very long time but got an e-mail earlier about the online event tomorrow. I can"t be sure just yet but I will probably be able to play it. In which case, it would be my first APAT experience.
Looks tempting :) I saw the Sats earlier in the week but wrongly assumed there would be plenty more :(
If I can spin up a few more $$$ in Cash or Tourneys tomorrow I might buyin, looks like a cracking game, any approx time when you regulars think it might get to the FT :)
There was late reg in the satty I played weds night, can anyone confirm there will be late reg tonight as well please? Thanks and good luck all
just regged for tonight"s PLO and notice that according to the tourney lobby, there is a UKIPT seat added for the winner.
Is this for real, or a mistake?

It"s an APAT Seat, not a UKIPT seat for the added value in the side event (PLO).

hi is there a password for this comp and were can i get it from please many thanks
AI really that thick ?, I cant see the reg for the PLO in APAT Tournaments
Bit surprised no-one knows if it"ll be possible to late reg or not. If it is, see you there. If not, see you in the PLO...

If you think this is a great payout , then say nothing......"I won on the APAT event last night".....how much love ?..."$51"....well done....what was the buy-in ?......."$55"......well played !!
Yup...paying that amount is a waste of time and needs sorting !

Seems to be a lot of players for this, more than normal by a long way. Must be a lot of non-apat regulars..

Ugh. Abso gutted for ya Steve. Know how you feel because it happened to me a few weeks back playing a random tourney.
However, random tourney is one thing...it should NEVER have happened in an APAT event imo. Very poor form by the "winner".
I lost count last night how many times i was sitting out because i keep getting timed out and others where as well now when this happend did everyone sit out or let the time run down as you would think they would in the APAT spirit, no they just pressed the raise button and moved on to the next hand

very different situation to be short handed at the business end of the tournament though.
The way I see it is this. Why would someone want to win an APAT tournament in this manner? Winning an APAT title should be a moment of pride. Where"s the pride when half the forum are questioning your scruples? I"d rather win (and he still could have won),or lose, with dignity than take a hollow and guilt-tinged victory that cost me the respect of my peers. Maybe those things don"t matter to some people though. If not, fair enough I guess and well done.
just woke up now and agree with all . but better to move on now congrats to all who did well last night especially matt for winning omaha made up for you big man !!
As for my madness of last night cest la vie on the bright side though i now have completed my full set of large medals cos i was only missing a silver for them lol
Cant wait for coventry , are we getting presented medals there leigh / des??

Nice attitude Steve and vwp last night mate :-*
At the end of the day there can be many problems online.Before you play make sure your computer and connection,to the best of your ability, works!! .If things then go wrong its tough.Ive been in the same situ before on both ends and its not funny at the ****ty end for sure.In a live game if you make day two and your car breaks down or the motorway is blocked would you expect your chip lead to intact.Can you imagine everyone waiting for the chip leader?

different scenario. you"re heads up in a live APAT championship and your opponent suddenly takes ill and has to dash off to the loo. do you suggest pausing the clock to wait for him to get back, or (if that"s not allowed) take your time about making a decision when you"re first to act, or do you get the dealer to hurry up and raise his bb every hand?

How about he has a heart attack and is rushed to hospital? Do you wait then and if so, how long...an hour...a day...a month..oh, and the clock is still running too?
Firstly, vul steve and a terrible way to finish 2nd
Secondly, lets not be too harsh on the winner and his supposed lack of morals.
If he was an 888 reg who had never played APAT events before, he may not understand the prestige associated with such events.
There is no emotional attachment to Online poker and with such a difference in first and second prizes, there should be no obligation to "do the right thing" when a player gets disconnected.
FWIW, I"d have sat out in this spot (for as long as it would take), but then Steve is a mate and I"ve played APAT events before, so know a lot of the players and understand the ethos that goes with these games and know that most members would do the same thing. If it was some random event, then I"d have probably given the guy 5-10 mins depending on the structure then raised for England.

Personally? I ask for the clock to be stopped and the game to be reconvened whenever. if they won"t do that, i"d suggest splitting the money by chip count and having a play off for the title at another time. If that"s not agreed to, I"d probably make a nuisance of myself and refuse to sit down, even it means throwing away my chances of winning if i"m shorter on chips.
...
On a personal note, I really enjoyed this game last night, the turn was my friend on a couple of occassions which doesn"t happen often but we really all need a friend when we"re just about to go out 37th ::).
ps
If anyone is looking for an online team for the coming season that isn"t near junction 10 of the M1 then try here ;)
Just a thought, feel free to disagree, but instead of there being a grey area where people are unsure what is morally correct or not why doesn"t everyone raise/steal. Then it is clear, it is done to me what I shall do to you, ya get the swings and roundabouts approach and it all settles itself out.

Sick rub mr o
Congratulations to all medal winners last night.
If I was ever heads-up in an APAT event and my opponent disconnected I would always choose to sit out.
Except of course if it was Scouse - then I"d click that raise button as fast as I could. ;)
p.s. this did actually happened to me in Season 2or3 when we were 3 handed MickyP disconnected. After I spilt my beer laughing I slow played every hand as the other guy was still playing.
This is a bit like blaming the Ref fir a bad call during a match IMO. Yes it was a bad call and yes it was wrong but the Ref is part of the game, good or bad. Everyone is saying it"s not the APAT way? IMO neither is whining about a loss. What this guy did was totally within the rules, if it wasn"t then Apat would have stepped in. I know Steve and would have loved him to win this. Let"s move on shall we, and let"s not be hypocrites. We"ve all taken advantage of this situation before. Unlucky Steve, but very well played.
For me...!!!
If I get to heads up and my oppo loses connection, if I know who it is, Like Scouse for instance, and like a lot of APAT players, I am gonna give a chance to get back etc...
But...
If it is a random 888 player who I have no idea who it is, and more especially, if the oppo is a gobby plick, I click as fast as I can and steal as many chips as I can before he comes back..
For me...!!!

Pretty much says it all for most of us I think!
The chat and forum wordplay is another issue and it"s being looked at.

Good. Please review the chat from this tournament cos there was far too much nastiness going on, in the early stages anyway - not so sure whether this continued later into the tournament for some reason.

Only one particular offender has been specifically identified and that is being looked at.
Any chat issue, as I believe I may have mentioned before, should be pointed at 888 first with specific examples.
Forum chat is an easy one as I prowl the darkened corridors of this forum at all times alert for such offences!!

Forum chat is an easy one as there is always the "Report to Moderator" option.
I doubt it matters to many of us if the tournament is an APAT event or a random event as to what we do in this situation. What actually matters is who the other player is.

Hmm, personally that makes all the difference. In a normal online tourney against randoms i"m clicking away and taking every chip i can get as it"s all about the money. In an APAT i wouldn"t want to know i"d won the title through anything other than playing better than them.
The problem with the solution you suggest is that I can"t be stuffed, especially as it wasn"t aimed at me.

There"s the issue...it don"t mean much if you"re not willing to take action.
I freely admit, I"ve never used the report option (even if I could find it on 888) and probably wouldn"t even if it was aimed at me...I"ve got a thick skin (obviously) but others don"t.
"If you"re not part of the solution...you"re part of the problem"*
* I don"t know who said that but it fits.
Totally agree Col,dos"nt bother me at all, but to any new members it might put them off apat events.
There was at least one abusive player at our table as well. Are there any APAT players actually offended by this? It seems to me that these guys just expose themselves as immature idiots to everyone else at the table. Most of the time its a sure fire way of spotting a complete fish. :D

I think this is actually what most people would do.
If I am playing heads up against somebody who I know, then I would give them time to reconnect and ring them if I have that option to find out what is going on. After I think I have given them enough time I am going to raise and take (maybe I give them a percentage of the extra $600 when I see them next - but certainly not half of it).
However if I am playing against a random, I am just going to take their blinds, does this taint the title and the gold medal meaning they are worth less? Yes very much so, does it change the money and the added value (seat)? No, I will still play the UKIPT and I will still bank the extra $600. If it is an APAT reg and I don"t recognise the name or just don"t them then I do the same.
This is not exclusive to an APAT if I am playing a tournament on Sky for example and I end up heads up with somebody I know then I act the same way and give them a chance to reconnect. APAT Ethos does not come into this decision, I disagree with people saying "this is not very APAT", it"s poker, and I doubt it matters to many of us if the tournament is an APAT event or a random event as to what we do in this situation. What actually matters is who the other player is.
I would not have any problem with anybody clicking the raise button as fast as they could if I was disconnected no matter if I know them or not or who they are.
