William Hill Welsh Amateur Poker Championship

I was out at cricket with my son tonight, so couldn"t play. Match was cancelled, and I raced back to try and get in for the APAT game. Arrived at dead on 8, and missed last registration. Not sure why it"s a problem to have late reg, if it gets another couple of £15s into the prize pool

particularly as it"s yours

Late Reg.... I don"t really understand it.. You have been able to register since sometime yesterday so why is any extra time needed after the event has started...
It is on again tomorrow...
Good Luck to all who are playing tonight...
...

Mainly what harm does it do.

But also for the same reason you put error handling in computer programming - it"s not for what people should or could do, it"s for what people actually do.

If you know you"ll be quite late and register beforehand, you lose all the blinds until you arrive.

Quick reminder: There is another £15 + £1.50 satellite tonight @ 8pm. If you haven"t already got your Welsh Amateur seat locked up, get involved!

because then you"ll stay out playing cricket until dead on 9, and still miss out

We always seem to get the same old moans and groans about late reg - "why not have half an hour late reg?", "why is there only half an hour late reg, why not an hour?", "why not start half an hour later and have an hour late reg?". Whatever there is it seems there are always people that aren"t satisfied. Last night I decided to take my wife out for a meal and to the cinema, imagine my disappointment when I arrived home to find there wasn"t four hours late reg. Where do we draw the line? The only fair place seems to be at the advertised start time.

I played a game a little while ago that had late reg, but there were only three of us and the other two did their chips while the late reg period was still open. I didn"t know whether I would have to wait in case someone else popped up, but they just ended the game as soon as there was only one player.

Cos I won a 3-player game, oh yeah. I"ll need to think twice about sharing amusing incidents with you.

Pretty sure that is the second time you have mentioned that. I once won a heads up match but you don"t here me go on about it.  

*The above claim to have once won a heads up match could be a lie

Maybe you"d like to hear about my bad beats instead. I had a couple of stinkers at Coventry. I"ll see if I can remember the details.
