what is best way to get into a live £75 event
« on: February 12, 2008, 22:42:02 PM »
im still a bit confused as what is the best way to get inot a live £75 event i know it`s a luck of draw fastest clicking on certain night but to me it just seems unfair
for such a popular event with big sponsorship cant it be more easy for everybody to get a fair chance to enter?

is there going to be 1 at dusk till dawn in future?

Probably the best way is to win a satelite into the tournament, these are held on BSQ 2 - 3 weeks prior to the tournament. Also there a regional tourneys held in 13 venues in the uk, depending on numbers there will be up to 8 seats available..

Failing that its the Click Fest, get your mouse and fingers ready.. Link opens on APAT page and its fastest finger first !!

Good luck, dont be taking my seat though  ;)

Sorry ?

What could be fairer than a clickfest ? Everybody has equal chance.

This is an old debate. Whatever method is chosen, there will always be people who feel they have the fluffy lolly.

Clickfest - not fair on people with slow PCs or slow reactions

A lottery - not fair on Des who has to draw out 150 or so names from 1000 entries and then set up another draw for the reserve list which should technically be 850 people long.

So Clickfest it is

There are still regionals and online qualifiers as mentioned by scouseDJ

Further than that you could argue that the satellites and regionals are even fairer - because in them whether you win the seat is down to whether you play well enough.

But fundamentally the problem is that demand is just massively higher than supply - in a purely commercial venture this would push the price of entry up (as it has done for the EPT"s), but because APAT isn"t purely commercial the problem will probably remain for however long the "poker boom" lasts.

APAT will be around for at least as long as that though, so if anybody misses out on a specific National event they can always console themselves that there will be plenty more opportunities to look forward to.

Just be sure to prey to the "Poker Gods" on a regular basis & your sure to get in!
The amount of good luck coming your way depends on your willingness to act.
