we will have them

I see you have been updating the Player-List, Matt, but there still seem to be some missing. I have two players on my current table who are not on the list.

Aye, there"s a couple I"ve added that I won"t update until after the game.

Who were the 2 at your table? I got shippybhoy, but not sure of the other.

CW, was going to reply to your post directly after I replied to JM"s (above). However, after replying to his, yours is now gone? (and I didn"t delete it... strange!).

As we were discussing when you were on our table, Rob"s name was different on the forum. It was him.

It was a very close game this week, with only 3 points separating the best placed team and 5th place.

A great showing from 3 of The Hitsquad Teams shows them take the top 3 team spots this week. THS Scotsquad member Willy Higgins, aka 3barrelTHS, takes top individual honours and secures top spot for his team with 25 points.

THS Squadettes" Pati Gallacher (in 4th) and Lisa Reynolds (in 15th) make 24 points between them to secure 2nd spot, with 2 players from THS Scotsquad Donks also finishing in the points (William Kerr and Callum Taylor) meaning they are 3rd this week. Next up is last season"s National Online Cup champions "The Chips Don"t Lie - Shakira Shakira", with Lewis Laker taking 2nd individual spot and giving them 4th spot by virtue of higher individual scorer.

Finally, in 5th team spot we have Team Lucky Squad, who impressively steered 3 members to the points (Andy Cowl in 16th; John Lynn in 11th; and Paul Williams in 9th).

This Sunday (23rd March) is the Festival of Pub Poker, so the National Online League will return a week after that (Sunday 30th). In order to make it not such late night for you all next time, we"ll be reducing the blinds from 12 minutes per level to 10mins.

Until next time!

There is no game this weekend due to the Festival of Pub Poker (FoPP), so the National Online League will return next Sunday (30th March).

In the meantime, if any of the teams that don"t have a full team of 6 want to quickly sign up some last minute players to fill the gaps, now would be a good time

[Matt D]

There"s no National Online League today, due to the FoPP. So, why not play some WCOAP satellites instead? I"ve set up a couple for tonight (8pm & 8.30pm). Full details here: http://www.apat.com/forum/index.php?topic=15110.msg228866

A quick welcome to our new, funky, dedicated National Online League section

Just 2 days until the league resumes on 30th March. One change to draw your attention to, is that blind levels have been reduced from 12mins a level to 10mins. With the last two games finishing after 1am, this should knock 60+ minutes off the end time, and therefore be a little more sociable for those of you that have to work the next day!

[Matt D]

Quick reminder, make sure your clocks are set correctly! The National Online League continues tonight from 7pm. The late reg tonight is 50 minutes, due to the change in blind levels from 12 mins to 10 mins and iPoker keeping the late reg. as 5 levels (it will be 1 hour late reg. from next week).

Why not combine with the final WCOAP satellite at 8pm? http://www.apat.com/forum/index.php?topic=15110

[Matt D]

Important: Due to the change in blind levels from 12 mins to 10 mins, and the way iPoker works with late reg., late reg. tonight is 50 mins, not 1 hour! It will be back to a full hour from next week.

[Matt D]

Update: Managed to get through to iPoker"s tournament setup team directly, who have fixed the late reg.

It"s now 6 x 10min levels = 1 hour long.

[Matt D]

<10 minutes to kick off, and 85 players registered. There is a full hour of late reg for those running err.. late

[Matt D]

30 mins of late reg left for tonight"s National Online League game. So far 111 runners. Will we break the 120 figure?

1 hour until the final official satellite for the World Championship of Amateur Poker. As it"s the last one, we"ve made a couple of changes. See: http://www.apat.com/forum/index.php?topic=15110.0

[Matt D]

127 runners tonight. That"s a great turnout Thanks all for playing and good luck!!

Results for last night are now live: http://www.apat.com/forum/index.php?topic=15205.0

In an amazing turn of events, and following a ding-dong heads up battle, last week"s winner - 3BarrelTHS aka Willy Higgins - only went and did it again! 2 wins on the trot for him, besting fields of 129 and 127 respectively. That secures THS Scotsquad top spot for the second week running, and launches them into a 5 point lead over their nearest rivals, week 1 winners, BCPC.

Blood, Sweat, Beers & a teetotaller score 4 team points this week thanks to Steve Roderick and Ger Smyth both finishing in the points. Yorkshire Lamb are next with 3 team points, with 2nd placed AcesSteve111 aka Steve Brooke, helping them put one over on their local rivals Yorkshire Beef as the first Yorkshire team to post a result. Team S.W.A.T are 4th with 2 points, with Suzy Haywards great individual effort putting them ahead of Team Blue Blood who take 5th place.

Overall, Willy Higgins is way out ahead in the individual leaderboard. But with only 3 of 10 games gone, there"s plenty of time to catch him!. Steve Redfern is 2nd thanks to consistent results in weeks 1 and 2. Special mention goes to 12th placed Adam Phelan who is the only player from 150+ who has finished in the points, and money, all 3 weeks.

Until next week, stay lucky!
