Welcome to APAT.
It is a holding tank, which will get taken down on the 20th, so funds can be transferred to the venue for the 26th.
Standard practice.

As i"m used to the holding tank idea i didn"t take much notice of the tournament details but i did have a giggle at the following:
Starting Chips - 1
Blind Levels - 3 minutes
Starting Blinds - 1m/2m 100000 ante
I know there was a lot of pre-season talk about making sure we got down to the money on Day 1 but i think this is taking things too far! ;D
Although it may suit some peoples game!

Leigh, is there any possibility of changing this to much later in the day?
The reason I ask is that, as I recall, registration opens around 4pm when we"re only in level 2 or 3 and we have no idea whether we"re going to be playing Day 2 or not (which the majority are not) as the day has only started.
Either that, or allow people who DO make Day 2 (and have pre-registered for the Specialist just in case) to withdraw and get their buy-in back. Or is this something we can already do?

You can already do this. Safest bet is to register and then withdraw if need be

Cheers Richard...I wasn"t sure if we were allowed to withdraw....didn"t know if the casinos allowed it.
I"ll be first in line then! ;)

It is capped for the direct buy in at 120, I believe another 30 are available through sats and maybe other areas. 150 I think is the max for the tournament itself.

Is there gonna be alts?

Unfortunately, at present, the only ways to enter will be via satellite next week or as an alternate at the event on the day.
Alternatively, seats at 888 may open up or you can post a request on the Seat Exchange Board to see if someone will sell you one.
-
I see :( thanks for the info, I"m keen to enter so if anyone has a seat for sale or whatever please let me know, cheers.

why are the satellites for the english online tourney and the live english amateaur tourney at EXACTLY the same time ???

I have no idea why but would think it is because this is a popular time for people to play tourneys. Any earlier and you have people at work and/or on parenting duties and unable to play. Any later and you are talking about late nights and a poor nights sleep before work the next day.
-

For all future events, there won"t be a clash as the live satellites will be in the first week of the month. However, due to the timing of the announcement of season 5, we"ve had to slot the live ones in for next week at the same time as the online satellites.
Hope it doesn"t inconvenience players too much.
-
oh. my bad. I thought the query was about the time of the day being the same and not the time of the month. So why are they on at the same time of the day then?? ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

Leigh, you forgot the, "and well done to xxx xxxxxx, who bubbled in 5th place... but takes home the princely sum of $2, for his 3 1/2 grind."

Hi Guys,
Played the Luton and Coventry events last season and did pretty bad!
Was lucky to win my seat last night for Coventry but look forward to donking my chips away next weekend.
See you there!

Is multiple qualification still frowned upon ? Could i in theory win 2 seats and either sell one, roll it on to another event or get a cash alternative ?

The satellites are being manually managed, so if you have already bought in, and haven"t yet unregged, 888poker will unreg you.
As far as winning seats in more than one satellite, we can"t stop players from doing it, but the satellites are meant for as many APAT members to get in through a cheaper route, so yes it would be frowned upon.
If you can take the frowning, then it is up to you.

I actually liked the idea of playing 2 qualifiers at the same time for the live event and the online event. Hopefully this will continue, kills 2 birds with one stone and all that.
-
Anyone how long Late registration is available, for tonights rebuy sat?
-
should be 1 hour
-
Is it an hour of rebuys also?
-
should be 1 hour
It would appear that it was 30 mins... doh!
My masterplan to buy-in, rebuy and add-on at the last minute will have to wait til next time. ::)

At the casino only, usually from around 4pm on the Saturday. It is a standard casino tourney, so if someone you know is there on the Saturday, they should be able to buy you in.

Yes.

An additional 9 seats for the main event are in the poker lobby.
Once these are sold, the holding tank will be taken down to sort out the admin.
If you need to make any seat changes after this, please do so through the seat exchange board.
Many thanks

-
The price is about the same , so if you want to play get a seat NOW, as to buyiong in at the event Yes it is possible but on a 1st come served basis and you are not guaranteed to get a seat
SO ONLINE IS BEST !! ;D
good luck

thanks been away for a while 3 1/2 years since I played the only APAT due to work and last year problems with betfair.I will try and play all this time :)
-
One Seat left available in the holding tank. Better be quick if you are still after a seat.
-
This was full but someone has unregistered as there is one seat available if anyone wants it.

What time does the omaha start on Sunday?
And how many runners are expected?
Thanks

Thanks
Main Event Day 2 starts at 2:30pm
Need to confirm with venue, but the side event should start around 3pm
It"s capped at 50 runners.
-
Thanks for the quick response.
Is it likely to reach the cap of 50 players? I plan to travel down from Yorkshire on Sunday for the omaha tournament and am really looking forward to it - live omaha tournaments are so few and far between. I would be absolutely gutted if I arrived only to be told the thing is full.

The side events have proved pretty popular and Omaha particularly so it should fill up.
One thing though, if you are just travelling for this on Sunday, you should be aware that there is a small possibility that it will fill before you get there....not guaranteed...but it is possible.
You might want to investigate ways of getting bought in on Saturday...if there are any.
-
Is the added prize a seat or a package. IE: if you decide to play in cork will there be hotel/flight money etc?

Seats only.
-
Can we choose which UKIPT seat we take or is it just "the next one"? Would much prefer to do Brighton than Cork.
-
Did I see somewhere that the PLO registration will open while the main is in play on Saturday? Won"t that lead to half the field being blinded out while queueing to register for the following day?
As mentioned elsewhere, with the cap at 50 this will surely sell out in no time - especially as many people will already have planned to be there on the Sunday.

Part of the reason for the side events, were to ensure players that had made arrangements for the whole weekend, had an event to play on the Sunday should they bust the main event.
As seems to be the norm with APAT events these days, everyone wants to play everything, and demand far exceeds the available number of seats.
Registration opens to allow players to reg as they get knocked out of the main event, but as it is an open event, we cannot stop any players from registering once the poker room is taking payments.

You can choose.
