Just won the first Nothern Regional in Edinburgh seeing off 52 other players  ;D

Quick question though, not sure Im can make Walsall, Can I swap this for a buyin to another national event or just get the cash or even sell the buyin to someone else.

Also, if I dont make it to Walsall how do I get my hands on that lovely, shiney gold medal. Jukers if you"re reading this, notice I said GOLD there NOT silver like the one youve been showing us every time we come to your house game  ;D

Well done big man, I take it you are the guy in seat 9 at the final table! or were you just to the left of me?? I am the old guy with the white hair who eventually went out in 5th place, just before I fell asleep :-\ Will be interested to hear the reply to your question re Walsall.

Cardiff stared with 43 players, so we were told 4 seats were available.

After a couple of hours play, we were told that the casino had been told by APAT to change this to 5 seats available.

i know it was the 1st event in the second year but this cock up with the seats is not on one of the main things with the events to sorts on the day was the seats and pay out so this should have been made clear set in stone if it gets round up or down it might well be and that people have just not done there job right

I think we all have to accept that there will be teething problems to start with.

Once all the casinos get used to the APAT guidelines, i can see this being a very popular AND successful event.

Sorry Alan, you said "job"?

With regards to the seats, the original briefing to casinos was to round down, so 33 players would give 3 seats.  A decision was taken last week; in favour of the players, to round up.  This was communicated to the casinos in a tournament pack last week and verbally again on Saturday. 

Apologies if this hiccup upset you on the day, but it"s not fair to stick it to a group of people who are running APAT in our spare time, free en gratis, and who had briefed the casinos accordingly.

H"mmm, given the content of bigahlx3"s post I suspect things would have been a lot more confused had he been given the "job" ???

Millbet coulnt believe you drew tht flush out when we were head up like lol i was on for the gold medal. guess i"ll have to settle for the silver. it was a good game like final table seemed to last a lifetime.
