I would wait for an announcement here. With 15k stacks this could be a 3 dayer.

As last year. 2 day ones.

As last year. 2 day ones.

Is there going to be a cap on the main event (& side event) numbers?
Also, what will the buy-ins be (Same £75?).
-
last year there were 425 players spread over 2 day one"s, the buy-in is £100.
the side events heads up was capped at 32
don"t remember the rest as i only entered 3 tournaments and the above were 2
-
think the numbers might be down a little this year as there is a comp on in coventry called the goliath with £100 buy-in but 100k pot and 25k starting stack but saying that there day1s are monday to friday so if people are out they can play both if they reg the apat day1b on the sunday
-
Do APAT have an idea when the buy-in for this will open?
I"d guess just after Glasgow (so the 1st week of August)...that should give plenty of time for satellites & stuff.
I don"t guess this at all based on previous years. Please don"t put words in my mouth.
-
Also, when do we submit our teams for the world teams championship?
-
I"m a first timer for the WCOAP. How does registration work? Do you have to pre-register or can you register on day 1?
Cheers, looking forward to it!

I seem to remember that for 2010, the WCOAP tickets went on sale some time in 1987. Ok slight exaggeration, but only slight.

Yes, in March for an August tourney FFS!

Personally i like the early reg

Personally i like the early reg
likewise - it"s a bit weird paying out a buy in so far in advance, but nice to know a seat is reserved and hotels, holiday from work, etc can all be booked. Same goes for normal APAT live events imo (although with demand a little slower right now, it"s less of a problem)
-
As last year. 2 day ones.
starting on the saturday 27th or is the friday just missed of as the 1st starting day
Saturday - Day 1a
Sunday - Day 1b
Monday - Day 2
how do we register for this? i"m new to apat, have emailed them for more info but with no luck.. an you help?
-
you can buy-in on 888.com but there not up for buy-in yet we should know by the end of next month when we can buy-in, at the latest the first week in august. i suggest you keep an eye out on this forum for more info.
-
There"ll also be satellites, at least for the main.
-
Hi,
Was wondering if anyone could let me know if registration for main event and all side events will be through 888poker like the regular APAT events this year or whether its done at Dusk Till Dawn?
Cheers.
-

-
Ok thanks. Does this include the side events like the heads up, omaha and 6 max?
-
Yes

Hey folks,
Planning on travelling down to Nottingham on Friday 26st August for the APAT Main event and 6-max event.
Just wondering if you could answear a question I have regarding the APAT Mains at DTD in August.
I am not currently a member of DTD and will signing up when I get there in August. Are Direct buy-in"s allowed as I do not use 888.com for the Main event on the Saturday and the 6-max on Sunday, or just buy-in"s online via 888?
Thanks for the help guys.

Just online entries at this stage

OK thanks alot for your reply.
When will the games be shown in the 888.com lobby? I just signed up and can not see them yet, I presume they will be under the live events tab?
Thanks

What is the buy-in for the main event, is it £100 or is it £75 like the 6-max event?
Thanks Again
Mark
-
£100 for the main event
-
£100 for Main event?
£75 side events or £50?
Last year entered 6max and really enjoyed it don"t know if I"m off for ME or 6 max again
-
£100 for Main event?
£75 side events or £50?
Last year entered 6max and really enjoyed it don"t know if I"m off for ME or 6 max again
I"m now lead to believe the side event will be £75. I"m really looking forward to both the ME and the 6max.

Side Events will be £50
No reg fees for any of the events

Cheers that sounds more like it, I thought if it"s £75 might swell pay £100 for ME instead

Bear in mind guys that the side events will be likely to sellout in a blink of an eye.
They have always been more popular than the main event (only due to the large available runners in ME), so you"ll need to be quick to snap up your choice of events.
Side Event Caps from 2010
Heads Up - 32 players
PLO - 81 runners
6-Max - 60 runners
Stud - 49 runners
HORSE - 48 runners
This is just an indication towards this years event. Nothing announced yet. ;)

Early request in for 4,000 chips in the Heads Up early rounds, say 6,000 for the semis and the final at 10k. Last year was over in the blink of an eye and this increase would only mean the first round lasting 20 mins longer on average.

Balancing up either adding to stack sizes, or increasing numbers able to play. All views taken onboard.

Ok...a "high" roller heads up? 8-game tournament? Official Tighty SNG World Championship?
Seriously though, 64 players in the heads up could be interesting, reckon you could find an extra 3 hours to have more chips and another round if run the same way as previous (which was rather impressive). Would be tight and a mission of a day, but doable imo :)

I"m not planning on playing it this year - but based on last year, I would have thought extra chips would be a better option.

I agree with the above as based on last year"s structure any fish could"ve binked this ;D (just kidding Dave)
No matter what structure you amend it to I doubt Tompkeyfish gets to the 2nd Round :o

Definitely agree with this if it has to be one of the two. I think you need a stack where you can triple barrel the first level and not be all-in!

I dint play the HU event last year depending on structure I might be interested but it as people have said the stacks need to be good enough to have some play no point playing bingo all in because of the blinds etc.
Well I"ve got a couple of weeks to get the £££ to enter the side events or main event best get some cash games on the go haha

It has always seemed a bit silly to me to have these champs at such a spacious room as DTD and then limit numbers like this. Can we look to squeeze DTD for extra tables if any of these comps do sell out extra fast as the need would clearly be there.
-
Heads up must be an expense issue.(16 dealers needed for round 1)
stud and HORSE is a dealer issue (as in not enough trained in those games)
PLO and 6 max, however could have much bigger fields, but then again they are designed to finish in one day.

Do they play the first round HU matches all at once, they could do it in a groups? less dealers less expense

could someone tell me what happens if you reg for the 6 max and plo comp but you dont bust the main event on day 1? can you get your money back if your still in on the 28th and 29th??
You can try and sell your seat locally or on the Seat Exchange but there won"t be any refunds.
You shouldn"t have any trouble selling it...demand is usually high.

thank you just one more question mate can you play two comps at once? like if you got a big stack in the main event go and play in whatever else your in then come back and play a few hands in the main event?

Is that not 2 dealers per table because there are 2 games on each table?
seems a great service to have 2 dealers per game

Last year there was only one dealer at the table in the first round.
This changed in the second round where two dealers per game were employed, I suppose to speed things up, but I do know that a few players would have preferred only the one dealer...

Why not have 1 dealer constantly shuffling. Would be the the fastest way

Will this include dates of satellites and buy-in or will we have to wait until after the Scottish event for that info?

This information should be out tomorrow including satellite and event buy in dates, capacities for each event and how to buy in
A few tweaks to the tournament structures are planned (eg 15k for the WCOAP Main) but this will only be announced once Simon Trumper returns from the WSOP
That aside, we"re good to go in the next 24 hours, I think
-
Excellent, thanks

Slightly confused (assuming all the sats are on DTD) but then I am easily confused.

Nice job guys. Any indication what time on Saturday the buy ins open?

Sorry Leigh
Just confirming the Stud had been changed from Friday to Thursday?
LOL will need to beg new holiday for Thursday but the set up looks gr8
See you all there :)

Has the 888 sponsorship ended and are DTD sponsoring the WCOAP?
If the 888 deal is finished who are sponsoring the remaining nationals?

DTD are our partner for the WCOAP.

400 seats for the main, if one was to wait until after returning from holiday on the 3rd Aug, what would be the chances of seats remaining do we think?
-
Do we know what time on Saturday the events will be ready to register Leigh, and also will you be able to select your own
main event day. ;D ;D

Don"t see a problem with that. DTD is a big place and we"d love to actually smash last years 425 runners for the main event.
-

Just confirming the time.
There will be two holding tanks for the main event.
Day 1a (SATURDAY)
Day 1b (SUNDAY)
You buyin to the one you want. If you win a main event satellite, DTD will contact you to choose you starting day, assuming there is availability.
-
Can you tell us how many weeks the satellites are running for?
Interested to see how this will affect the side events, going to be quick clicking for some I would expect if 20 or so seats are being left for satellites.
Looks great, cant wait.

It"s not clear from the OP but are we playing Hold'em to satellite into non-HE Side events?
I do hope not.

The side event satellites are a generic satellite to all side events, so in answer to your question, yes.

pretty sure that DTD (or 888) do not run stud or horse tourneys on their software, so the sattys to win tickets seems the best option.
would be good if they organised a few HU, PLO or six max sattys which people could use for what ever they want as well.
I have a question:
Is there a promo code for our deposits on DTD??
-
Are all the live events reg free?

No promo code as such Rob, although it would be good if players opening a new account at DTD, did so by clicking through our banners.

Actually, IMO the best option would be to NOT run satellites into non-HE events by playing HE. It"s just daft to play HE to sat into a Stud/HORSE/Omaha event. Seats are limited as it is...
Still, the Seat Exchange should be busy. ;D
-
Are all the live events reg free?
All the live WCOAP events are totally reg free.
-
It"s great that we"ve been able to extend the number of seats for side events, and DTD will be promoting the WCOAP festival also, so a great five days are in prospect.

World Team Amateur Poker Championships
A seperate thread will detail arrangements for this event. Four person teams from thirteen countries will compete for the Championships and Captains will be confirmed shortly.
Hopefully this is a rhetorical question, but will those people playing for their country be guaranteed entry into the ME regardless of the clickfest ?

Why would they?
Anyway sounds great. Really looking forward to playing a tournament other than NLHE.

Managed to get access to my DTD account back.
I can"t find the holding tanks so I assume they are not there yet?
-
Holding tanks will be open from midday on Saturday.

Question. I will buy into all the events on Saturday when the holding tanks open...... I shall also then play some of the satellites.... if I win a seat through a satellite, what happens?

Any idea how long it will take to get my money back from 888 that I deposited to pay for WCOAP then get it loaded onto DTD? Will there still be places left in the side events? Would have appreciated more than a day"s notice here when you must have known for considerably longer.

If, and that"s a BIG BOINGBLITZ STYLEEE IF, you happened to luckbox your way to a seat in a satellite, then DTD will contact you and you can arrange with them to either move seats around or get the cash.
-
Any idea how long it will take to get my money back from 888 that I deposited to pay for WCOAP then get it loaded onto DTD? Will there still be places left in the side events? Would have appreciated more than a day"s notice here when you must have known for considerably longer.
Matt,
We appreciate it may be considered short notice, but there is a lot that gets organised in the background before we are able to make an announcement. I hope you"ll get your funds in place in time to bag all the seats you are after.
We have increased the field sizes of all the side events (except HORSE) this year, and by partnering with DTD, we have a lot more flexibility on capacities.

Great work guys. Looking to play in at least 3 events. See you all in Notts!
:)

Leigh, you still haven"t told us what time on Saturday all of this click-festing will be taking place ?

Leigh - "Holding tanks will be open from midday on Saturday. "
At a guess, i"d say midday on Saturday Bri. ;)

World Team Amateur Poker Championships
A seperate thread will detail arrangements for this event. Four person teams from thirteen countries will compete for the Championships and Captains will be confirmed shortly.
Hopefully this is a rhetorical question, but will those people playing for their country be guaranteed entry into the ME regardless of the clickfest ?
Yes they will Ian.
Thanks Des ;)

Buy in is Online Only via www.dtdpoker.com (http://www.travisserver.com/re.asp?name=1130&camp=REF136331_0) and you can open an account via the link below :-

This will be the case for the Main Event.
As for side events I will wait for Leigh, however this is less likely. (HU for example will not allow)
-
We will run our usual alternates lists for all events, except Heads Up.
-
Any idea where these tournaments will appear in the dtd lobby
fastest finger first and all that ;D ;D
-
And don"t forget!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Such an important festival of poker as this, will obviously require the services of a dedicated, about to be made redundant, photographer. You can"t expect Tighty to do everything all week. ;) ;) ;) ;)
You can pm me all your requirements...... :-*
-
mid-day .....fantastic.
I will be on my way back to Brighton so I guess that"s any side events out the feckin window for me !!

Bri,
Capacities have been increased, and based on the speed of seat sales this season, I would be surprised if everything sold out straight away.
Obviously we have picked the time that would be most inconvenient for you. ;)
I"m sure you will be able to get all of the seats that you want, and as I have stated before, by partnering with DTD means we can have a bit more flexibility on capacities.

Ok hope you can, having to take the laptop in to work tomorrow,just got to think of an excuse for disappearing for half an hour at about 1145 any ideas on a postcard please P.S> keep them clean ;D ;D
Will definitely almost probably use the best one ;D ;D ;D

when your in work 1st thing is look panic-ed and seek your boss, and then say something like I nearly didnt make it today, my sister, aunt, mum, dad, uncle, next door neighbour, etc got rushed into Hospital / got robbed / got locked out this morning.
I assume it"ll be OK to nip out for 15mins to check up and get an update....(make sure you say I assume it"ll be OK, as you"re then not "asking" his permission, you"re telling him you"r going, and simply assuming he/she isn"t an idiot/heartless and will be OK! ;D

LOL as that is the only reply so far i almost deffo probably going to use it cheers ;D ;D

i got to be honest, im a little disappointed with the announcment coming so soon to the actual buyin dates. and the fact that the buyin is only available on DTD.
I deposited money onto 888 this week to give myself a head start to buyin and like the fella b4 im gonna have to deposit another load to buyin on DTD and wait for original deposit to clear to have sum funds.
this happened last year when there was an announcement, the buyins were the next day. IMO that isnt a reasonable enuf time to allow people to sort themselves out. As for using the DTD software, no1 would have saw that coming and if people cant, for whatever reason, create account or login 2moro then its bit unfair on those people.
Im gonna have to take lappy into work n try get in that way n risk missing out on tourneys i want to play, hopefully i dont.
surely u guys must have had an idea fairly early that the buyin was only going to be on DTD and ok, if u cudnt announce that b4 hand, then surely an announcent last week saying "buyins available next saturday, dont put any money onto 888 til futher notice" etc etc.
maybes its jus me but its seems bit illogical n unfair to make an announcement and have people able to sort themselves out in under 2days time.
hopefully ill get in and still be able to look forward to what no doubt will be a fantastic week at DTD in august.
-
Sorry I only heard about this today but can I ask a question. Why are there only 108 seats for a World Amateur Competition surley there is more interest than that. Will I have a chance of getting a seat?
Do you think all the seats in the PLO on the BH Monday will go ?
I am a bit stunned by this event being so "small" but I still want to be in it I think. Do I have to be an advanced member or have played in one of the other events?
Cheers

The guys who put money onto 888, if you had used a bonus code at the time you may want to check if you can as yet withdraw. They have a "must play $xxxx amount of value in hands before you can withdraw.
People who previously tried to withdraw after having deposited under a bonus code where only aware on receiving an email a few days after requesting their withdrawal that it would be refused.

OK thicko question coming up. Is the midday buy in opening up on the DTDpoker website? Or is it within their poker online client? I can"t see the tourneys in the client??
-
Has the 888 sponsorship ended and are DTD sponsoring the WCOAP?
If the 888 deal is finished who are sponsoring the remaining nationals?
Geo
DTD are our partner for the WCOAP.
And the answer to the second question is?

Well Leigh said holding tank so I assume the client, could somebody post details of where it will appear thought please.
-
As far as I am aware, the holding tanks will appear in the Poker Lobby at midday today.
They should be under Tables > Multi Tourney > All
DTD specific tournaments also appear under "specials" tab, which may be easier for finding them, but until they appear, I can"t say for definite.
I was planning on being around at midday to ensure there are no problems, but I might just take the dog s for a very long walk into the New Forest where there"s no phone reception. ;D
-
very very good idea i would do the same .........but make sure your back for 10past 12 to watch the mayhem onfold

Not APAT fault - but really its not like the first time a Poker Site has set up holdings for Live tourney.......

Dont think so. There are approx 60 of us waiting here now. Dont see why we should have to come back at 8pm and try again (possibly with the same problem then).

Please do not bombard DTD Support with queries regarding this.
We are aware there is a problem, as soon as I have more info, I will post on here.

Apologies for the confusion, unfortunately, the British Summer hit us again, with some confusion between GMT and BST with the software provider.
DTD were on it very quickly (and a lot quicker than most sites), and we"re all good to go now.
Once again, sorry for the delay folks.

Mr James Edwards - give me a nudge at deeteedee and I"ll get you a beer ;)

you might want to look at the capacities of the tanks leigh they seem a bit weird compared with the numbers you have published
-

they are all a bit lower than event capacity, deliberately, to allow for seats already allocated via various added value wins etc etc

Quick Travel Tip:
Got an AMEX card? See this link..[HERE (http://www.greenroom.co.uk/amex35?cm_mmc=partnership-_-exclusive-_-35-_-amex35)]...select the 2 for 1 option for "Nottingham"...I got £38.50 a night a the HI Castle Marina (Sat & Sun).
No points earned though.
-
-
and the fact that the stud is max 108 as published and the others lower than published with day 1a at 180 and day 1b at 160. Just though I"d point it out in case it"s a problem.
Blah, blah, blah. What"s happened to the webcam?
-
Yes thanks, it"s as planned Andrew. Seats are not held back for satellites, but for APAT event winners, primarily, using these events as their added value prizes

This year its time I cashed!!
-
reg"d for stud, HORSE, NLHE 1b and PLO as a back up if miss out on day 2...looking forward to playing HORSE and stud more than anything else!
-
This may have been answered already, (sorry before anyone shoots me down) but for the people who cash in these events, do they get paid in ££s at DTD , or is it done via their DTD account in euros?

Been out all day with the kids and fretting about the HORSE, now regged for that and Day 1b of the main.
Do I get a bonus if I defend the HORSE title? My little girl wants a horse ;-)

Bought into the events I wanted, very happy!
Wouldn"t be APAT without a little drama thrown in :)

Anybody having trouble withdrawing from 888.com. I deposited a sum to fund WCOAP buy ins. Now these are on DtD I have put a request to withdraw it to 888.com. Because my balance includes some uncleared bonus from an earlier deposit in the year they won"t release my funds. Online support were incapable of understanding and beginning to think this is going to get messy.

Simon,
I put this up yesterday. I done a similar thing previously and received an email. When I spoke to them they did allow a withdrawal that meant I left enough to play something like 20x my bonus deposit.
Geo
The guys who put money onto 888, if you had used a bonus code at the time you may want to check if you can as yet withdraw. They have a "must play $xxxx amount of value in hands before you can withdraw.
People who previously tried to withdraw after having deposited under a bonus code where only aware on receiving an email a few days after requesting their withdrawal that it would be refused.

Any idea how long it will take to get my money back from 888 that I deposited to pay for WCOAP then get it loaded onto DTD? Will there still be places left in the side events? Would have appreciated more than a day"s notice here when you must have known for considerably longer.
Matt,
We appreciate it may be considered short notice, but there is a lot that gets organised in the background before we are able to make an announcement. I hope you"ll get your funds in place in time to bag all the seats you are after.
Leigh
This needs to be noted a bit more than may be "considered short notice" and a lot to be organised in the background. This was queried by Daveyface on this thread in June and had it confirmed by Tighty that it would be buy in on 888.
As we can see from Simon and others it obviously has caused problems to some.
Geo
-
I deliberately didnt use a bonus code for my recent deposit. Emailed complaints and said they will get back within 72 hours. I think there might be a resolution that they take the 18$ bonus awarded in the past off my balance. Well I hope they see sense!
Luckily I had a "roll on DTD to buy in, but I can imagine some APAters have been struggling to move money around.
Heard from 888.com releasing my recent deposit so I"m happy. Don"t think I"ll clear the bonus as I need to wager $648 with $40 left in account!

At the time my expectation was that the WCOAP would be handled by 888. However, things change, particularly in the currently very fluid poker world.
It was not possible to give a heads up on the change of WCOAP sponsor beforehand as negotiations were not concluded. Once they were, everything was putting in place (holding tanks, capacities etc) in under 72 hours, time being of the essence as we want the event on sale.
I appreciate it will cause problems, as we can see and was aware it was a likely bi-product of a very complex situation.

I don"t think I played the HORSE last year but in general it SHOULD work like this....
Blind Levels increase every 30 minutes.
Each game is played for 1 rotation (usually 8 hands depending on table sizes) before changing to the next.
The two things aren"t connected although it does generally work out to 1 game per level.
Does that make sense?
-
That"s correct
A game is played for one round, then the game moves to the next variant..irrespective of clock. the clock goes up every 30m
Last year"s played til 2am Tuesday morning. Someone got left on point duty updating it.
The structure makes for a fine game.

to be fair, to get left with the human fish heads Up in non hold em limit variants past midnight after 5 long days is really an APAT worker"s worst nightmare.
This year, I rather hope for The Duke versus Owston. They"ll both be too smashed to do anything other than shove it in ona one hand razz turnover for the title.

So depending on table speed, one table could be playing hold em while another is playing razz?

What will the format of the HU be?
I presume as per last year the final will have 10,000 chips, the semi"s 5,000 and the prelim rounds 2,500. I really hope not though, as 2,500 really isn"t enough.

yes, so if you get moved then check what game is playing - I don"t "think" there was any particular problem caused by it before

We are discussing this with Simon Trumper. Heads Up tournaments do put a considerable strain on dealer resources, especially one that will start at 3pm on a Friday. Add to that the fact that we have doubled the number of runners, and we just need to make sure that we are ensuring a balance between a value for money structure and DTD"s ability to run a smooth event. The feedback from last year was that the later rounds were great, so we will try and improve on starting stacks as best we can.
-
Jaxie are booked into the Premier Inn Castle Marina, Fri, Sat & Sun. Perfect training for the Coast to Coast the weekend after imo.
-
Many casinos and poker sites handle the rotation of games differently. For example, in the WSOP HORSE event each game is played for one hour rounds, then play switches to the next game. However, on many poker sites like PokerStars, play switches every eight hands, which results in game switches every five minutes or so.

Can"t the first rounds be done in groups, I know it could result in people waiting around but would reduce the number of dealers required

Want to play the satelitte tonight but couldn"t see anything listed on the site last night.. When will it show up? And, is it 8pm "British time" or will there be similar confusions like with the direct buy-ins on Saturday?

I think it was deemed too exciting to broadcast.

Does anyone know the day of the direct buy-in for the Worlds?
Thanks!

it"s up now on dtd

anyone know if there is late reg not sure seems conflicting info on tournament info say reg open for 15 mins and then says extra time 15mins does this mean 10mins late reg ?
-
HORSE played fine last year, 30 minutes per level as already said with the game rotating every eight hands.
Didn"t notice any problems with table moves to different games, only problem was our first dealer not realising that the omaha was Hi/Lo until we"d played three hands of it.
Craic was much better than the hold"em events with a suitable level of disdain being shown towards the two card monkeys.
-

Not sure exactly how the Boss network works. I think reg closes about five minutes before the tourney starts. I think extra time means 15 minutes late reg.
We"re running these every day (Mon-Fri) for the next 6 weeks, so there should be plenty of opportunity.
-
Okay, reg closes 4 minutes before tourney starts, but you can still reg for a further 15 minutes. So in old money, that"s 11 minutes late reg.
-
You may be aware that the WCOAP Heads Up Holding tank is already sold out.
We have made 5 more seats available to DTD, which will be offered to Side Event Satellite winners only. First come, first served.
If you want a Heads Up seat, you can only guarantee one by playing the Side Event Satellites running every night at 8pm.
Once the 5 are gone, that"s it, no more, you are relying on someone unregging or the seat exchange thread.
-
Where are the holding tanks for the Worlds? I can"t find them anywhere.
Sorry for being an idiot.

Such an important festival of poker as this, will obviously require the services of a dedicated, about to be made redundant, photographer. You can"t expect Tighty to do everything all week. ;) ;) ;) ;)
You can pm me all your requirements...... :-*
Thanks but we may have a better offer - I believe the German team is making a comeback:

Question. I will buy into all the events on Saturday when the holding tanks open...... I shall also then play some of the satellites.... if I win a seat through a satellite, what happens?
If, and that"s a BIG BOINGBLITZ STYLEEE IF, you happened to luckbox your way to a seat in a satellite, then DTD will contact you and you can arrange with them to either move seats around or get the cash.
Think someone needs to tell them that then because its at odds with the email I just received:
I'm afraid the organizers of the APAT events do not offer cash refunds for the seats but you have the option of playing another side event or transferring your seat to a friend.
Kind Regards,
Nicola Veitch

If you have purchased a seat prior to sats, then just unreg from the event you have satted into Matt.
If you want to get cash equiv for sat seat I think you"ll struggle!
See you there

I was asked last night by DTD about cash refunds in the context that someone may not make the tournament. APAT runs a seat exchange board and do not refund buyins.
I have just clarified with DTD that if a player wins a satellite and has already bought into the event they want, then there is no problem in payng out in cash.
Once Nicola picks up the email, I am sure it will get resolved.
-
re: satellites for ME - does anyone know how long they are running for ???
This is week 1 of a proposed six weeks of satellites.
Satellites will only run if the minimum numbers of players is achieved to payout one seat.
-
CAN SOMEONE POST THE STARTING CHIPS AND CLOCK TIMES FOR THE SIDE EVENTS PLEASE
As you"ve shouted, I"ll repeat what has already been posted.
Structures are currently being finalised with Simon Trumper at DTD, but they will be very similar to those we used last year, which can be found HERE (http://www.apat.com/forum/index.php?topic=6776.0)

Surely, as seats have been held back for sat winners, it would make more sense to unreg if you have already bought in. This would free up direct buy in seats for those that don"t want try the sat route.

There"s no seats held back for satellite winners, other than the 5 Heads Up seats. All other holding tanks are open for direct buyin or satellite winners. If a holding tank is full, then a satellite winner cannot choose that event.

I have been through the last 24 pages and concluded that you have answered 98.8% of all questions with 99.4% accuracy!
Not sure what APAT's SLAs are but I"m sure those figures are smashing them!
You"re all doing a great job!

I think that some people need to remember that Leigh and the APAT team give up their own time for this as well as resolving issues (very promptly) that aren"t of their making - and then these people should amend the tone of their emails accordingly.

OK, since Leigh has been dragging his feet and hasn"t reminded me yet ::), I looked back and found the following....
you might want to look at the capacities of the tanks leigh they seem a bit weird compared with the numbers you have published
they are all a bit lower than event capacity, deliberately, to allow for seats already allocated via various added value wins etc etc
Which leads me to my next question -
I have received a confirmation email from Nicola (DTD) that I have been entered into the 6-max tourney.
However, my name hasn"t re-appeared amongst the 83 in the holding tank.
If the missing 8 seats are already allocated to people and the remaining 17 holding tank seats sell-out, where do the sat winners seats come from?

Alan,
DTD should be entering you into the holding tanks. I"ll have a chat to Nicola about it.
The balance on seats you mentioned are for a number of players that have won added value seats in the past and are using them for Nottingham, and also I have held back a small number to make sure that those players travelling from afar for the team event will be able to play some of the side events also and get a full 5 days of poker in.
More than happy to answer questions, unless it"s Where"s Des ?, and then I struggle. ;D

The balance on seats you mentioned are for a number of players that have won added value seats in the past and are using them for Nottingham, and also I have held back a small number to make sure that those players travelling from afar for the team event will be able to play some of the side events also and get a full 5 days of poker in.
More than happy to answer questions, unless it"s Where"s Des ?, and then I struggle. ;D
I"m standing on a street corner in Marbella...hello? hello?

And I think that answers any questions that players may have about how Des is using this seasons marketing budget. ;D

Some hope in the Marbella of the North..West...Wales. Sigh...

I have just clarified with DTD that if a player wins a satellite and has already bought into the event they want, then there is no problem in payng out in cash.
Once Nicola picks up the email, I am sure it will get resolved.
Thanks Leigh
Nicola has confirmed this will be sorted.

Welcome to APAT.
I can tell you loads about APAT, but that"s not really going to be good use of my time without knowing what sort of stuff you need to know.
You could start by reading this :-
Newbie Guide to APAT (http://www.apat.com/forum/index.php?topic=9007.0)
Happy to answer anything specific around the WCOAP or any other APAT event for that matter.
Leigh
-
I"m not sure the people at APAT make it that easy to get into their events.
It"s probably fine if you have been with APAT for a few months but as a "newbie" I am finding my 7 +2 -2 brain cannot take anymore knowledge into it and why is it not clearer. I wanted to register for the HU and that"s full already with 54 runners. I am desparing yet understand the cap on the ME is about 425 is that correct pls.
Can I ask the maximum on the PLO please

Apologies is already asked but are we able to take advantage of the DTD Pokertronic table for our NLHE and Omaha finals at the WCOAP? Just watching the final of the Montecarlo and the coverage with hole cards is awesome!

No, its very expensive and not covered in the Sponsorship plans

just sloping off work readin all the tread on the worlds,
got in from vegas and back to work in 1 day. Question does n e one know what seats are left for the worlds, as all i can do is stew in the offfice until 5pm drive like a madman and download the dtd client.
i am lookin for horse, 6max and omaha, and after reading thread need to satilite into a HU seat is that all kosher!!

Surely, as seats have been held back for sat winners, it would make more sense to unreg if you have already bought in. This would free up direct buy in seats for those that don"t eant try the sat routr.
There"s no seats held back for satellite winners, other than the 5 Heads Up seats. All other holding tanks are open for direct buyin or satellite winners. If a holding tank is full, then a satellite winner cannot choose that event.
Aaah... lol misunderstandaments. Well, it"s what I did anyway.
6-max tourney capacity - 108
DTD poker holding tank capacity - 100
Remind me what the 8 missings seats are for.
OK, since Leigh has been dragging his feet and hasn"t reminded me yet ::), I looked back and found the following....
you might want to look at the capacities of the tanks leigh they seem a bit weird compared with the numbers you have published
they are all a bit lower than event capacity, deliberately, to allow for seats already allocated via various added value wins etc etc
Which leads me to my next question -
I have received a confirmation email from Nicola (DTD) that I have been entered into the 6-max tourney.
However, my name hasn"t re-appeared amongst the 83 in the holding tank.
If the missing 8 seats are already allocated to people and the remaining 17 holding tank seats sell-out, where do the sat winners seats come from?
Still not been added to list of runners... 92 reged now, just 8 seats remaining.
Could someone [APAT] please confirm that I have a seat for the 6-max??
Please.
PS. Have any other satellite winners been added to the holding tank of their chosen events?
-
Question...
What happens if you have registered for the Main Event and can"t make the start time?
I am travelling from Margate on the Sunday morning after my holibobs and was just wondering what happens after 2.30pm if I am not there...?
Obviously I am going to aim to be there on time but with the better half and two kids to wake up in the morning it might cause a few problems..

For the Player of The Series will there be something like a £1100 seat to the winner and a possible T-shirt?

a £1100 seat to the winner ?
Doubtful...you must be thinking of last year.
I"d guess about 10% that...depending on DTD"s generosity....but I"d don"t know anything...just supposin".

Hi there
I was wondering if someone could tell me roughly how many alternates got seats in last year"s main event and/or whether there were any seats available on the day for direct buy-in on Day 1B
I have managed to luckbox freeroll my way into the "other event" that weekend and in the (obviously unlikely ;D) event that I don"t make Day 3 of that was thinking of a quick spin up the M1 to Nottingham if there"s half a chance of a seat.
Many thanks
RB
-
Until the day you won"t know how many alternates will be available, could be anything from 5 - 25 just depends on how bad i play LOL ;D
-
Last year we were 207 runners for each of the starting days, and they were sold out prior to the day.
We ended up with 425 runners total, so we must have got 11 alternates in over the two days, assume an even split.
-
SATELLITE UPDATE
We are still running satellites for the main event and side events. Satellites start at 8pm each night, Mon-Fri, with 1 in 8 getting a seat.
Side Event Seats Availability
Stud - Holding tank has spaces
Heads Up - Holding tank full - 4 SEATS LEFT FOR SATELLITE WINNERS
HORSE - Holding Tanks full - 3 SEATS LEFT FOR SATELLITE WINNERS
6 Max - SOLD OUT
Omaha - Holding tank has spaces

Stop being a tight(ahem)!!! :o
I"ve sat"d into the Goliath "other event" and have also entered day 1B of the WCOAP....
My thinking is:
If I"ve made it to day 3 of the "other event" I should be in the money to the tune of more than £100.
Besides, I"m sure there would be some way of selling the seat prior to the start of the day.
Maybe you can buy my seat if when I make Day 3 ;D
-
So... The missus has gone to bed, I"m grinding it out on the internet at poker ($22 profit from 5 hours play) and watching the Poker Channel (Poker Player News I think) and apparently we"re being ripped off!!!!!!
They advertised the WCOAP Main Event as a £75 buy-in!! Where do I get my refund :P
-
The odds and ends get added to the pot, we would never be ripped off by APAT ;D
As per the spain game, leigh came roound with casino chips for the odds and ends.
Those chips did not last long, But in Fairness the free bar over there more than made up for it.
ho ho!!

Yes there was .

Fully full I"m afraid. You"ll need to rely on someone to unreg or seat exchange to get in, and we won"t increase the capacity on that event as we are fully stretched with dealers etc on the Sunday.

ah :( will bang a post up in seat exchange, thanks anyway!

Yup, thats the one. Less than a tenner in a taxi from the city centre though so not far. Nearby hotels are still not really walking distance at night anyway so you dont lose out much (think they are fully booked anyway)

23 x 9 Handed Main Event Tables
18 x 6 Handed Side Event Tables
So, pretty much fully fully fully stretched

Probably about a 25 minute walk, but quite nice in the summer. Google maps has directions.

lol, true, I"ve walked from town before - the Riverside Travelodge is the only one which I"d say is definitely walking distance by any definition - I didn"t check whether it"s full though.

The Travelodge Woolaton might have room...it"s not walking distance but I think there are a few people staying there.
Otherwise, centre of Nottingham has oodles of options that are just a few quid by cab.

Ah I was thinking of the wrong travel lodge, yes Jon"s one is definitely walking distance (about 3 minutes away).
I will still be staying at the Premier Inn and probably walking to DTD most days. Intending to arrive at around 14:00 on Friday 26th August, checking in and then walking straight to DTD.
Less than three weeks to go you knows.

Bit longer than three minutes! You cant walk direct across as the industrial estate is fenced off. So cut through the retail park, along the road turn right at the big roundabout along the A52 and then over the walkway, Probably 15 mins walk at least.

"POTS" ranking points will be scored as follows :-
1st - 15 points
2nd - 12 points
3rd - 10 points
4th - 9 points
5th - 8 points
6th - 7 points
7th - 6 points
8th - 5 points
9th - 4 points
any other cashing finish - 3 points
For the Heads Up event, the top 4 finishers will score points as above, the 4 losing quarter finalists will all score 6 points. No other players will score points.
"POTS" ranking points are completely separate to APAT Player of the Season ranking points.
How will points be attributed to the APAT Rankings? As all other main events are 18 for 1st down to 1 for 18th will this be the same? As for the sides, 9 for 1st down to 1 for 9th? What about the HU? Can you also confirm the points allocation for the online WCOAP series on DTD online?

ur only worried cos theres more people trying to take ur title away!! :P
-
Sorry if this question has already been answered, but why is the maximum amount of entrants for the stud 108?
usually would be tables of 8!
cheers
Ian
DTD could handle 108. Reality is that we will get somewhere between 40-50 runners.
Just a number stuck in for the holding tank.

In the DTD lobby there is 1 HU seat just become available.
-
2 now
Perhaps the short stacks throughout is putting a few people off. Certainly I would have withdrawn if I wasn"t already committed. So wish details like this could be made available earlier but understand it"s not always possible. I based my decision on last years structure.

That was my seat Andy, just unregged, can"t play the event since I was lucky to be selected to play a rather important event that clashes ( not so thinly veiled Brag ;D )

Any1 know when reg for the ME closes??
Noticed there are some seats available....im playin the Goliath, but if i dont make Day 2 of that, then was thinkin of regging for eitehr day 1 of ME......I dont wanna reg now and then find reg has closed when i know my day 2 Goliath prospects on Thursday Evening??
-
I believe the holding tanks closes tomorrow, don't know what time.
I'm playing the Goliath on Thursday but have registered for Sunday ME.
If you don't register then you will most than likely be able to buy in at DTD but you will run the risk off not being able to get in.
-
nosey-p is right, the holding tanks close tomorrow.
I think we are still well within capacity for the Main Event but that seats will go on sale at the venue from Wednesday. I don"t know how many they expect to sell at the venue though.
My view is that you SHOULD be ok to wait till Thursday, but I can"t guarantee it.

Driving down from Glasgow on Saturday if anyone"s needing a lift please PM me. On another note, who"s staying at The Hylands at the weekend?

Can do what I have done....
I"ve registered for day 1b at DTD. If I make it to day 3 of the Goliath the winnings should cover the DTD entry.... Plus i"m sure there will be some chance of selling your seat!

Does that mean there is space in the stud champs?
-
Yes, will go and check now but the Holding tanks on DTD are open for entry in those events where seats remain.

I"ll bet ;D and me too mate.. got a LOAD of red left over and with it being in Nottingham be rude not to put a little up there and get involved... although the stuff I havent used yet says "semi-permanent" might all end badly haha
-
Best do half red and half black & white stripes (don"t want to upset the other half of the city)
Actually, can a Smoggie do Black & White stripes?
-
Black and white?? definitely not JP.. even red and white and its borderline being mistaken for a makem.. both just as bad... with them all being the unwashed up there and talking all weirdly and stuff ;)
p.s. when you coming to DTD mate? you got a room sorted? cheeky vimto or two? :D

a) Stud starting stack will be 6k.
b) HU starting stack up to 3k (and then again up in the later rounds)
c) Online buy in will close today. Entry at the club only from then on for the few events with seats remaining (Stud, Omaha, Main)
Seats available for the Stud (plenty), Omaha (25 or so), Main Event (300 sold, 110 remain). These are on sale at DTD once the online entry closes. Would expect Omaha and Main to sell out by the weekend. Leigh Wiltshire may have news on a very small number of HU seats coming freee later today.
-
Sigh, wish I hadnt snap un regged the heads up now when the original structure was released. Looks much better especially with stacks increasing in later rounds. Oh well!
-
Right then folks, WCOAP Seat News................
The ONLY way you can grab a seat now is to buyin direct at DTD.
There are seats available for
Stud (24),
Heads Up (2),
Omaha (24)
Main Event 1a (60)
Main Event 1b (28).
Payment is in GBP and is £53+£0 for side events and £106+£0 for the main event.
All events are capped and the HORSE and 6 Max are completely sold out.
Numbers in brackets are the number of seats available as at 7pm on Wednesday

After 40 mins the game will now have average stack of 15x instead of 12.5x - not that much difference. The later round increase is where it will really matter.
Personally, I would have preferred to see it played short-stacked with a best of three format. With the stacks as they are, it"s almost certain that most games will finish quickly with a weak cooler - a best of three format would at least flatten the variance a little.

This would be best but probably not feasible or at least difficult with 64 runners and dealers etc. I guess like most, will have to run good in the earlier rounds until we get deeper later on and there is more play.

Have I missed the player list for the main event please ?
-
Have I missed the player list for the main event please ?
Don"t think it"s up yet, prob coz of late buy-ins at DTD. The guys are updating the team event page currently so maybe get you a full answer later.

Just a small report to capture the festival flava for those on the way here.
After an expected earlish exit from the Stud, I was able to watch a bit of the team champs, and see Ger in full flow. Our spiritual leader (spirits in the alcoholc sense obv.), was having a storming start and enjoying the attention of most of the valets at very regular intervals. Once the team thingy was complete for the day, a couple of very silly SNG"s were organised, with one particular highlight being Ger all in v Rob Swindells with ad1 kh v Rob"s :as: qd. All was well until the river produced the qc!!!!
I"ll leave it to you to imagine the scene.
I decided to retire for the night at 1.30am after Ger attempted to french kiss Andy Duncan!!!!!!!!
A bit like being snogged by a drunken Walrus me thinks?????
-
Oh my...it"s gonna be one of "those" week-ends, is it? lololololol See ya later today!

Yay on my way now be there around 2pm
