Teams / Players still not registered for tonight.

[Matt D]

This is proving quite tricky, as lots of teams still haven"t listed their APAT forum names AND Poker.co.uk/APAT Online sofware names.

Please check that your team has the following details for each player:
Real Name, APAT Forum nickname, Poker.co.uk/APAT Online nickname.

e.g. mine would be:
Matt Dale, Matt D, *SuperHans

If any members of your team have not listed those details, please update them here: http://www.apat.com/forum/index.php?topic=11423.0

If you notice your teammates aren"t registered, with say 20 minutes of registration to go, then please contact them - they may have forgotten, not received the password etc.

They is only 10 (ten) minutes late registration available tonight. Any players turning up after that point won"t be able to register.

It"s not user-friendly, there"s no quick option to hide totally irrelevant finished tables.  Also the need for the site to have a username and a nickname is unnecessary.  People play across multiple sites and things like that aint going to help when it comes to logging in.

You can choose the same username as log-in name if it makes it easier to remember.

The option to hide "finished" tables is very easy to find. Simply click "Filters" and untick "Finished". Check the tick-box "apply filters" and you"re done.

Actually the software is one of teh most User Friendly out there.....much cleaner than iPoker, Micro etc

My ownly criticism Matt is that the structure was awful

I chose 2500 instead of, say, 3000 start stack as thought that with 28 players per game that would provide enough chips in play to provide a good, playable, structure.

However, observing the games, they do appear to have finished a little quicker than I expected.

So, I"m happy to listen to suggestions if people want a longer game.

If anyone has any feedback like the above, please post here: http://www.apat.com/forum/index.php?topic=11706

I thought for what the league is about, the structure was pretty spot on. maybe 3k start but ws plenty of play early on. Its not a deepstack MTT and doesnt need to play like one.

I suppose it comes down to what APAT want to get from the league

If its just a bit of midweek fun where the outcome of the event comes down to coin-flips and whoever is dealt the best cards wins, then fine. Although if we are removing a large slice of the skill then we may as well just make it a hyper-turbo and lets be done with it within an hour.

However, this is an APAT branded event with a decent prize at the end of it, so I would have thought nudging it a little towards the skill end of the spectrum would be in order, even if it finishes a little later.

I know I"ve mentioned it on GNF Matt, but I do think the structure was a little off - especially in the middle period, but I think this can be rectified without changing a great deal.

What I really couldn"t get my head around though - was the no-shows....or rather the no-shows who didn"t pre-reg. As this is ultimately a team event, even pre-regging and blinding out would earn a bunch of points for the team, which may make the difference!
