APAT Online UK Team Championship (and Live Qualifier!), Sunday 13th September.

[Matt D]

I"ve just read the rules for this and it says that if 2 teams from the same group finish in the top 3, then only one qualifies and 4th also gets in.

This seems unfair IMO as the second team is penalised for playing well, but not quite as good as the first team. All players are APAT players so why shouldn"t they qualify.

Can we look at this please?

See your point and I think I might agree. However, it might be a little late to change with just 3 days to go? Will defer to Des on this one as I"m going to be off the radar until Saturday now.

APAT Online UK Team Championship, 6pm. Sunday 13th September 2015. £20 + 2 buy-in per player


The Game
6pm start (no late reg. but a full week of early reg, so please make sure you are registered in time!).  10k starting stack. 12 min blind levels. Password protected. Standard Coral payout (100% of entry fees go to individual prizepool).

Says 2 hours late reg in lobby

Thanks for heads up No need to be sad, I"ll contact Coral and ask them to correct it. (in the end, although advertised as "no late reg", I requested 1 level / 12 mins, as there"s always someone who will try to register half a second before reg. closes )

[Matt D]

Registration for this event is now open.

Please note, there will be very limited late reg. for this event (just 12 minutes), so register as soon as you can.

Important: You must have your correct nickname posted as part of a team in order for that team to score points.

Thanks APAT. I"ve edited the first post to reflect this.

Just over a day to go until this kicks off, so still time to get your team(s) in last minute!...

The lobby is still showing 2 hours late reg. I emailed my Coral contacts on Thursday morning for them to correct as per original tourney request, then was out of town until today. Looks like it hasn"t been done Have emailed iPoker directly (something we"re not supposed to do) so hopefully they will fix.

8 teams, 3 of you will qualify! Exciting stuff isn"t it?

There"s still until kick off tomorrow to register a team.

Please remember, that all teams must be registered by kick off. You cannot add team members after the game starts.

Due to an iPoker administration error (that I"m trying to fix) there may be 2 hours of late reg. in this game. If that happens, then finishing positions will be based on the lobby finishing positions. However, I"m hoping this will be sorted to just 12 mins. of late reg. as per set-up request, in which case the same applies. Finishing positions in the lobby dictate points earned.
