What would you all think of set up something like "Best player of WCOAP 2010" We could easy choice one of the player by vote after all events. There is 5 event to play possbile by one player so i belive there will be someone who cash few times or take a 2 FT. Maybe APAT can find few pounds to made a special trophy for that player? or (and) some of small cash prize like buy in to any of APATs event....




At last years WCOAP, Paul Pitchford was declared player of the festival for his Omaha win and bubbling the final table of the main event.  He won an APAT Polo Shirt for this amazing achievement.

We will make another award this year with a prize attached.  It very much is about the pride and prestige of winning the award.

Yes i remember that Paul played well (he knock me out from ME) I was just thinking about more official way with for example: trophy+ prize. A APAT polo shirt sound nice too but putting trophy on the desk will be better i think:)

No. For starters the chips for players at the start of each match won"t double from the round before

Leigh.

As the Betfair tanks are now closed, I seem to recall seeing something about any "spare" seats being made available on the day at DTD.

I would assume that these will be opened up for purchase ON THE DAY at the venue and when these run out the Alternate list will then take over.

1. Am I right?
2. Is there a "start" time for purchase/registration/getting on the list for these spare seats?

Finally, is there a "cut-off" date / time for seat swaps &/or sales on the Seat Exchange?

Just a quick question, i appologise if its already been mentioned.

Will day 1a and day 1b of the main event be run down to a "cut off" or just keep playing untill a set time?
For example
200 people enter for day 1a - will we just play down to 100 then stop and come back for the final day?
Or do we play till 1am or something and whoever is left comes back for final day.
Cheers

Ignore this just read 6 pages back what the crac is.  ;D

1. Am I right?  - Yes you are correct
2. Is there a "start" time for purchase/registration/getting on the list for these spare seats? - Waiting on DTD to confirm

Finally, is there a "cut-off" date / time for seat swaps &/or sales on the Seat Exchange? - The plan is 6pm the evening before each event.  Players need to be aware that we will be at DTD for 5 days running the event, live updates, live streaming, etc, so our response times may fluctuate a bit

Sorry for being slightly hard of understanding, but here goes.
If I was looking to play the stud, SH hold"em, Omaha and HORSE events, would I have to ship up to DtD at openig time each day to try for a spare seat or will I be able to ring in advance, find out that there are seats for all 4 then purchase the lot in one go on arrival?
I"m assuming DtD will have all the answers at some point soon.
Also, I know I should have registered earlier, booked the time off work months ago, but never got around to doing it.

I don"t recall APAT allowing phone-ins.

As far as buying in at DTD, you will only be able to purchase seats ON THE DAY of the individual event.

There are, I believe, some Stud & Omaha seats available in the Seat Exchange.

I think you know the answer for next time...don"t you?

Cheers fella.

Just enquired after stud and omaha seats, will play the rest by ear or bugger off back over to Manchester for the GUKPT summer series events.
