Speechless.... Another excellent schedule....
APAT POTY will take some defending next season...
Well done lads....
-
Excellent stuff.
Will deffo play manchester and maybe another.
I assume that WCOAP is so huge it gets it"s own separate announcement.
Any online announcements on the way?
-
Cracking schedule.
I also assume that the WCOAP details would take a lot of managing to pull together in time to be released with the initiall schedule.
I know Des had some ambitious plans for WCOAP S9.
Comments arising from the recent WCOAP would not have been ignored.
-
Amazing job on the schedule.
And from our part we are very happy to have 2 events included in Belgium. We hope to see a lot of you guys there.
We are especially looking forward to the Benelux APC, which will have 6 days!
In a few days we will post some more info about the 2 events in Belgium, for those who want to book early!
-
Very pleased to see Manchester feature in the schedule again. Just need to ensure that they don"t run out of Guinness this time like they did for the Team Event in December... they obviously didn"t realise how much APATers can drink :D
-
Looks good to me. Like Ian, I"m well pleased to see another event in Manchester. Well done guys.
Good compromise on the team tournament I think. Much better an online qualifier than two day 1"s.
See youse in Coventry.
-
will the team be restricted for the team event in belgium, or do you just register

We"ll get the online schedule released idc - within the next week I would hope.

Just to be clear - the UK Online Team Championship will not be a 100% qualifier to the live equivalent - only the top x teams will be able to guarantee their place in the live event, at this stage I would guess around 10% of those that take part in the Online event up to a maximum - but that will be confirmed idc - the UK Team Championship will IN THE MAIN be as per previous years where teams will apply for a place - the minimum teams we will cater for at the live event in Luton will be similar (ish) to S8.

Alan, primarily, and similar to the UK Team Championship, the Benelux Team Championship is for teams from "the region" - "Belgian Tom" (Dodgyend) has set aside the majority of team places for teams from Benelux (Belgium, Netherlands and Luxembourg) but has allowed for a small number of teams outside the region to take part which will be by "invitation" from him - Tom will post more specific details over the next day or so.

Looks terrific Tom, great work, and it"s still only the start of May. You really need to keep us hanging a little more.
My only gripe is the side events schedule. Every Uk event has NLHE on Saturday evening and Omaha on Sunday afternoon. The only time we get the "non standard variants" is on the Sunday evening when most people have already gone home.
It"s not really the best way to introduce people to the different games. It"s only three or four years since most players railed against learning Omaha but had to because it was on. Now look how many Omaha players we have.

I understand your thought Matt but having looked hard at it decided to retain similar to S8 - those who go deep in ME into Day 2 probably not complain if they miss PLO on Sun (although still have circa 2 hours to bust ME and enter side) but maybe would if they bust after late entry for side on Sat eve etc etc etc - so many possibilities and feel this gives most players most opportunity to experience non - NLHE events - esp the first Side on Sun which we expect to complete around 9 PM and expect all ME players to have allowed for the possibility of playing this late anyway - PLO is still an alien concept for many, many players - the non-NLHE/PLO variants played later on Sun will have low numbers to give those who wish an opportunity to experience them without negatively affecting the main emphasis of the weekend where we expect the majority of players to want to participate.

The 3 teams that qualified already for the team Championships are still valid?

Will be great to see you again Jeroen! And we should talk about those UK trips, because would love to play some events as well!

Just to clarify, it is the TEAMS that have already qualified. Correct?
The Captain"s still have the authority to announce which players will compete in their teams I assume, as do all the other competing teams?

I would assume the players that played in the original team will play, unless they can"t make it?

It"s always the responsibility of the captain to organise the team - so while must captains would retain their successful teams from the previous year, some may tinker....

For the people interested in participating in the APAT Belgian Team Event (November 13th), you can find the info here: http://www.apat.com/forum/index.php?topic=18016.0 (http://www.apat.com/forum/index.php?topic=18016.0)
We will be looking to include 2 teams of UK players...
-
schedule packed full of poker. i can make a few of these. only negative (and for me a massive one) is the exclusion of the uk and guessing euro team games. for those selected to play in these games, not only is it a great honor to play but also the most fun you can have playing poker.
-
For the player of the season ranking points , is this just from main events from both live and online or are side events included in the scoring system as well.

Any schedule for Scottish seats sale? I"m away to Croatia next week and not back till 1st July but definitely coming to Edinburgh on 4th
-
Can I request an earlier start time for the OFC in Cardiff on the Sunday? 8pm will mean too late a finish for people travelling back home and feel with the Omaha kicking off at 1pm a start time of 5/6pm would get a lot more runners?
Thanks

Scrap that... Dave Howard who apparently knows everything about everything has informed me that it"s a bank holiday weekend so people won"t be in a rush to get back for work..... and I am, by all accounts, an idiot.

The online Coral buy-in closed on Sunday. Tom is preparing a Welsh Open briefing thread.

I must have missed the announcement that it was open...can you point me at that please?
If there wasn"t one...then there"s been a serious failing somewhere.
I suppose I"m stuck with EventBrite now...I assume that"s open right...can I specify a day?

Seems I am and you can...so I did...but I"m not happy about it.
Please make sure this doesn"t happen for Manchester and that a proper notification that online reg is open is made on the forum (or at least let us know in advance when it wil be).
*Above to be ignored if I missed something. :)

You once missed a catch when I chucked a casino chip to you in Vegas - does that count :-)

Yes we missed notifying via the Forum that the Cardiff Online Holding Tank was open... apologies to Paulie and anyone else... this won"t happen again.
Having spoken with Matt, as he says, I"ll produce a Player Briefing for Cardiff (which will include a list of players that bought in via the Cardiff Online Holding Tank)... it will be published this weekend.
I will also do one for Manchester and advise when the Online Holding Tank will be open for that.

Hello guys
Apologies if this a completely naive question. I was hoping to get along to some of this seasons events probably starting in May at Coventry.Do I need a Coral account?I mean can I buy In directly at the Cash desk or is it like Party Poker where winnings and Buy Ins are through the software?
Also are there any requirements to enter or can anyone play the events?
Cheers in advance.

Hi Stephen, I think you are looking at Season 9 Event 1 which we held in Coventry... we are currently coming to the end of Season 9 with the WCOAP here in London... I expect to release a full season 10 dates within the next few weeks...
