Hi peeps,
I managed to sneek in by the the clickfest last night, which I"m mighty happy about, so well done to everyone else who got in, and commiserations to those who missed out.
Nice one. See you there!
Anyways, being pretty new to the APAT i have a few questions about the APAT English Poker Championship in Walsall on Nov. 3rd & 4th:
1) What are the prizes? How many positions paid etc.?
Not 100% sure, I think they"re posted elsewhere and I"ll have a look.
It"s something like £3,000 for the winner, as well as entry into a GUKPT event, a trophy, gold medal and lots of media exposure. Second place get a fair whack too, and I think it pays down to 10% - which would be 20th.
Top 18 get ranking points which are for a season leaderboard with a major prize at the end.
2) Will there be any merchandise for sale? Would be nice to say by a APAT t-shirt or something as a souvenier. Is this something that will be available?
No idea. The plan is merchandise will be available sooner or later, but don"t know if it will be in time for November. Someone else will have to answer this?
Also, would think it would be a good idea if there was a photographer there wherer you can buy a pic of yourself as im sure most people would like a pic of themselves playing in the tourney to post in their profile.
Des will take a piccy of you when you play. He does this every tournament and they are uploaded for all to see. Good photos too, must be a decent camera...
3) Is there a dress code at Walsall Grosvenor Casino? What are you allowed and not allowed to wear?
Not 100% sure on this either. Generally it"s no ripped jeans or footy tops. Not sure about hoodies, trainers, etc. Best to contact the casino about this to make sure if you"re planning on dressing like Phil Laak!
4) Is the total 200 players on the day?
I think so...
5) Are all the starting tables dealer dealt or self deal?
100% dealer-dealt.
Thanks in advance!
Oh, and if there is anyone going to this event from London/Kent area - let me know!
See you in November!
