Here"s hoping - this is only night i"ll be able to try satty in so fingers crossed.

This might be a stupid question.......................but, why are we playing satellites for a August competition in March?

All in favour of planning a diary of events, but why 5 months ahead.

I plan usually 4-5 weeks ahead. cant see the rationale on 20 weeks, anybody else thinking the same way?

my take on it is....

as its an amateur association and the majority of members work during the week and that the WCOAP takes place during the week as well as the weekend, then this gives people the chance to

1. buy in to the events....then
2. get time off work, giving bosses plenty of notice

I agree, I hadn"t even budgeted for this yet, and now I have to scrape it

Looks like no WCOAP for me for a 2nd year in a row  :"(
Just crashed out in 18th when it folded to me in SB and I shoved to try take BB and Antes with 47 - BB called with A7... Can"t make any of the other online sats and i"m skint at the mo so can"t afford to clickfest. Good luck to all who make it tonight and the rest of the week. Hopefully get a last minute seat exchange ticket...

And we have a winner of the VIP WCOAP Package (Including flights, limo transfer, penthouse suite with mini bar) for the player that finished 17th tonight.


Congratulations to them, they wish to remain anonymous, but hope they enjoy the corporate hospitality that APAT has to offer in August.

Glad I made it through, was getting quite nervous at the end.

Cu then and also in Cardiff where I intend to re-gain my title  

[siberiankhatru]

Well done everyone.

I am Looking forward to it!

I had a nice run of cards during the middle stages and gained a large stack which saved me from some the the donkey stuff I was doing towards the end.
