WCOAP - Main Event

[dwarfman]

Happy times, I got a seat.
So erm what"s the deal, do we just show up on the day with some form of ID to prove who we are and then play (on that note I assume UK Driving Licence is acceptable?), or do we like get a ticket beforehand?
Also does the Vic have a strict dress code at all.. I"ve never been there before!
Thanks in advance.

Just head towards the APAT desk to register when you arrive, don"t think you"ll need ID, but maybe wrong.  You"ll need a photo ID for getting into the Vic if you"re not already a member of a Grosvenor Casino.

Dress code is black tie - very strictly enforced.  Conservative frocks for the ladies - heels and pearls after 9pm only.

When did the last seat sell?

12.35pm today.

I guess I missed out by a few minutes  

So there"s no reserve list? I just have to take my chances on the Seat Exchange?

What is the added value for the Main Event winner?

[APAT]

Expenses paid GUKPT Grand Final package. 
We should be able to confirm PLO starting stack later today or tomorrow.  This event and the Razz are nearly sold out.  Stud has around 20 seats free but we have not promoted any of these events yet, so they should all sell out.

do we get extra chips for buying in before you had to resort to additional promotion?

Dress Code

It's not all Tuxedos and evening dresses! The dress code in grovesnor casinos is shabby casual, so you can relax, and come along in your pants! However we kindly ask that gentlemen wear socks and refrain from ironing their ripped jeans, football shirts or soiled clothing. T shirts are acceptable but we do ask that round neck T shirts are printed with an offensive slogan.

That"ll be handy then! Wait until it is sold out... then decide how many chips you are going to start with... that way anyone who would prfer to know the structure before buying-in doesn"t have the chance!!

C"mon Des make a decision.

This is not with me at the moment Mr Rodent but I would hope that APAT has done enough in the last 24 months to earn a bit of trust from our players.  You guys will get the best deal possible.  So relax a bit......

I"ve only played in one previous APAT tournament (Forum challenge) - but from what I could tell by that and others I"ve read about, APAT always strive to give the best structure possible, and I"m sure they will this time too so I"m not overly concerned.

Perhaps though, APAT should learn a lesson from this and for future events make sure that the full structure is decided upon before the tickets go on sale, it"s only fair that people know what they"re buying.

[Jon MW]

... it"s only fair that people know what they"re buying.

They do know what they"re buying - it"s a tournament with 3000 starting chips. If they don"t like that they don"t have to buy a ticket.

If they don"t mind that then they can buy a ticket, and if the starting stack increases then they"ve got even better than what they"ve paid for.

In fairness Jon, nothing was said about 3k starting stacks until after I bought by ticket.

Apart those people who bought in the knowledge that it was 3k chips and are perfectly happy with a fast, "find a pretty hand and go with it" type of structure, they may not be so pleased with a deeper stack event.

I don"t know how many seats are left, it may be only one or two, but you can be pretty certain that if announcement is made that it will start with 10k chips it will sell out very quickly.
