Friday"s gonna be a quiet day  :D

I plan to make a long weekend of this trip even though I"m only gonna olay the Main Event.  I"ll take Friday and fill the rest of my trip with Cash Games / DTD Tourneys on the Saturday (hopefully still in APAT on Sunday).


Can see Friday becoming a very popular choice now. :P


Mike and I opting for Friday? No wonder it"s popular - there"s 20,000 chips being GIVEN away ;)

I"m assuming you"ve all seen this sentence on the Home Page - www.apat.com

"1) In the first stage of the payment process, you will be asked to enter the player name and preferred start day (Friday or Saturday). Anyone not entering a preferred start day could be be allocated either day. Please enter your details as per this example: John Smith / Friday"

Sure, but we"re following this sentence from the first post in this thread:

"If you have qualified for the APAT WCOAP World Amateur Championship main event, please input your Blue Square player id in this thread and your preferred starting day as Friday or Saturday. "

Which was somewhat less prescriptive in format  ;D

Yes, I need blue square ids in this instance to cross reference with the list of qualifiers and full names that they will provide.  Oh for a simple life  ;D

IMHO,
as there was always going to be a bigger field for this, there could be more Satellites than in a normal tournament.  Maybe it is still an option to have one or two more sats if all the seats have not gone yet and there is still loads of time left?

Win win for everybody..

Not sure either, but I"m guessing that, rather than running any more Satellites to this (somewhat pointless if you"re already one of the ones who paid their £100 last night), the remaining seats will now only be sold via the BuyIn link which has been left on the home page.

Running more Sats now will no doubt attract some of those who have already paid for their seat, making it an Admin nightmare in terms of whose transactions would then get processed. It would mean tying up all BlueSq names to payment transactions etc.

It may give those that cannot afford £100 an extra chance!

On the one hand people are saying the expenses should be cut because people only care about the seat.

And on the other, that there should be more satellites for people who can"t afford a £100 buy in.

Obviously there is a disparity with the cost of both - but the 2 aren"t entirely consistent.
