WCOAP
« on: September 17, 2014, 08:52:00 AM »
Any idea when we can see a rough "draught" of schedual?

Although its ages away, from first sounds looks like its going to take a little more planning than normal.

Will the whole event be held in London over 10 consecutive days?

Will online satts offer a package style prize?

How about having a online weekly mixed game league toutnament similar to "bunch of fives" where top prize is a WCOAP passport?

Last year really enjoyed WCOAP, but it ended up a rather expensive few days.. Need to start saving my pennies :) so the sooner i have an idea the better.

I know Tom was still working on the schedule when I spoke to him in Luton and hoped to have something in writing by e.o.m.

10 days is a lot of time to fill and there are a lot of things still to be nailed down.

I"ll be seeing Tom over the weekend [Belgium FTW] and will have a word and see where we are....if he doesn"t see this before then.

I understand that the Travelodge was doing the 10 days for c.£440 last I heard.

Wait...What!?

When did I volunteer to stay sober long enough to do that?

Then again, being pixelated might make for an interesting schedule*

Apologies, but we"ll have to extend this a bit further as on reflection it is considered more appropriate to discuss with Aspers before releasing to members for comment - disappointing I know, but this way we can give you an agreed draft schedule having had the benefit of input from John Scanlon at Aspers (Poker Manager) and that we know works for both parties and still allows us to retain flexibility to act on members" feedback before confirming a final schedule before the end of October (2014!).

I would hope, well, I will at least aim, to provide you with an agreed draft prior to UK Amateur Poker Championship in Leeds on 11th/12th Oct.

Well you know what they say about self-imposed deadlines - don"t make em!

Alas the draft schedule is still with Aspers, whom I have contacted today and although not heard back from them, I will hopefully get their agreement on the schedule over the weekend or next week at the latest - at which point we will of course publish to the forum for player feedback.
