STRUCTURE

The structures for each event are available if you click here.

APAT WCOAP World Amateur Team Championship 2011


The format of the Team event is:

Day One

2:30pm 3 x 8 handed, 4 x 7 handed NLHE STT   (1st=7pts, 2nd=6pts........7th=1pt, 8th=0pts)
5:30pm 3 x 8 handed, 4 x 7 handed PLO STT   (1st=7pts, 2nd=6pts........7th=1pt, 8th=0pts)
9:00pm 39 x HU Matches - 6 per team   (1st=4pts, 2nd=0pts)

Total points allocated for Day 1 = 548
Maximum Team points for Day 1 = 80

Day Two

2:30pm 3 x 8 handed, 4 x 7 handed NLHE STT   (1st=7pts, 2nd=6pts........7th=1pt, 8th=0pts)
6:00pm 52 Runner MTT    (1st=26pts, 2nd=25pts........25th=2pts, 26th=1pt)

Total points allocated for Day 2 = 547
Maximum Team points for Day 1 = 126


Notes

Due to the 13 teams, we will be running a number of 7 handed STT"s.  Points for those tables will be exactly the same as the 8 handed ones, without an 8th place getting 0pts.

The MTT will only alllocate points to the top 26 finishers (50% of the field).  We will run hand for hand at 27 (3 tables of 9 players)

All Captains should check in at the APAT Admin desk on the lower tier of the card-room floor on arrival for payment of entry fees and for seat draws.


PRIZES


For all events will be announced once the final number of players is known. Each event will payout to a traditional payout structure

Alternates will be allowed the opportunity to take part during the first two levels in all events.  

The alternates will be chosen from the APAT controlled reserve list started at the venue.  This will enable a small number of additional members to participate.

Under our terms & conditions, APAT will not support deal making.  These are unique International Championship events and the onus is on every player to try their utmost to win it outright.

Please note that all entrance fees will be paid out in prize money.  APAT will not retain any fee for running any event in the World Championship of Amateur Poker.

ADDED VALUE

An added value seat into a DTD Live Tournament will be awarded to the winner of each Live and Online WCOAP event.

For any players unsure where the APAT Admin Desk is, or what Tighty or myself look like, here"s an image of what to expect at DTD.  Tighty is the one on the left, as always (We"re pokers answer to Ant and Dec)  ;D

Leigh / Richard

Can you clarify a few things as there"s one or two inconsistencies?

At the top of this thread it says that HU is at 2.30pm and the Stud is at 3pm but the Structures thread has it the other way round. Can you confirm which is correct?

In the structures thread for the STUD it says starting stack - 6,000 but a few lines down it says Chips - 4,000. Can you confirm which is correct?

I know that there has been discussion around the HU event on the discussion thread and people had asked for a deeper stack in the earlier rounds. The structures sheet says 2,500. Is that correct and does that apply to all rounds?

Finally can you confirm how many points will be awarded in side events for the rankings (Not the "Player of the Series" but the ongoing APAT rankings) and is it 1st to 18th in the Main?

That"s it for now - Really looking forward to this whole event which I know would not be possible without the work you do.

Are there really no antes for the 6 max?

Can we have a points system for the team event? I have come to my lake Garda retreat to plot my strategy and really need this info...

If I remember correctly - there were antes last yr, so I assume it will be the same structure.

Thanks Both.

Stud looks good!

HU will raise a few eyebrows but I will assume you guys have had the debate with DTD and that"s that?

Jon - Will this be the same for the online series? (I should have asked that initially)

HU. Function of resource, dealing requirement and time. Yes has been discussed, cogitated and digested.
