alternates?

[busman]

Hi Des,

was wondering if you have any idea as to how many alternates may be allowed?

as per player briefing

"Alternates will be allowed the opportunity to take part during the first two levels.

An additional prize of £75 will be created as a result of each alternate who is allowed to enter.  This money will be awarded to the players finishing directly outside the above prize pool, so if for example 4 alternates take part in the event, then finishing positions from 21st to 24th will each win back their buy in of £75.

The alternates will be chosen from the APAT controlled reserve list started at the venue at midday on the first day of play.  This will enable a small number of additional members to participate in an APAT event."



by the way if there is any news on any extra tickets please put me in the hat for them also....

Surely the number of alternates is dependent upon the number of people who are knocked out during the first two levels?

This depends on how people play, and if the cards come down to give two players monster hands that they get all their chips in with.

I think in previous APAT nationals, it"s been in the order of 5-10 alternates, but I could be wrong.

I think the average number of alternates has been around 2 or 3.

Oh, right.  I was a bit off the mark there then!
