I would like to support DTD"s very ambitious plan to guarantee a £1m prize pool at their leg of the UKIPT, which will run between April 11th & 16th.
To that end, I am proposing to run a satellite to the £770 buy in main event, which will run alongside match 4 of the National Online League, this Sunday night. The National Online League will start at 7pm (with a 1 hour late registration) and our DTD £1m UKIPT satellite will start at 8pm.
With an estimate of between 300 to 400 players playing the National Online League match, we can generate 6 seats at DTD if we can get 200 runners into our satellite at a £25 + £2.50 buy in. Ambitious perhaps, but we will generate a seat for every 31 runners in the satellite.
To play in a £1m event at Europe"s finest poker room would represent an outstanding opportunity for a large number of our members, so let"s all get behind this event and get as many APAT players into the draw as we possibly can.
The satellite is now available to register via the PokeStars lobby - Tourny / Private. The structure will be the new improved National Online League structure, which will feature 4k starting chips and 12 min blinds, with 3 new levels added to offer even more play in the early stages of the tournament.
More information about the event is available via Leigh's thread here (http://www.apat.com/forum/index.php?topic=10814.0).
So who"s up for it?
-
Will do my best to play fingers crossed
-
What will the structure be?
::)

+1 because if anything like existing league structure would be better off playing a normal satellite on stars!!....but if decent structure is now being proposed Im in

What"s the position if you already have a seat Des, any point in playing?

Brag post :P
-
Nobody will play...it will finish too late!
-
Only kidding....great idea Des.
-
100% in and I"d love to see APAT run tournaments with seats to other big live events, it would be cool if something could be arranged for the 2013 WSOP?...
-
I would play.
-
I"ll play it Des.
-
What"s the position if you already have a seat Des, any point in playing?
Definitely Dean. You"ll be contributing to the creation of additional seats and if you"re lucky enough to scoop again, maybe sell it at a discount as a part staking deal? Totally your call, we"d love to see you in.
-
Would play
-
Strength to the minority...
The format was changed as it finished too late for a few so we changed it...
I am working nights on Sunday so can this be played on Monday instead.... ;)
-
I"ll play.
-
Will it just be seats or will there be a package put together?
-
A tournament on a Sunday!!! Yay!!!! I"m 100% in :) x
-
Definitely in.
-
??? ???....bit confused.....satellite was suggested for Sunday night to run alongside new and improved league....get what looks to be reasonable interest.....then Facebook announcement that it is on Saturday!!.......lol wtf with not even mentioning it on here.....seriously??........200 runners in a £40 satellite on Saturday night just after payday do you really think so?
-
Sunday is correct. I shall now flog myself stupid for the heinous crime of making a mistake on the Facebook page.

dont know it that is your form of sarcasm but if announcement had been made on actual APAT site rather than FB first the confusion would not have arisen.....or I suppose if you had actually checked the announcement before you posted it it could have helped!!
-
That"s you told Richard ;D
-
it was on the APAT forum first and yes I did check it
I made a mistake.
Such an unpleasant forum these days.

I"ve had enough of this. Apologise for your attack or go. Your choice.

So unnecessary.

I mean seriously? This in uncalled for? Quiet simple, don"t like it, don"t play it..
-
it wasnt an attack I was just questioning if it had been changed to Saturday without any consultation or notification on the actual thread that was set up about it.....and if it was going to be on Saturday making point that you surely wouldnt get the 200+ runners that you were after.
Apologies if any offence taken.

Firstly, Richard isn"t sarcastic. He"s been to every one of APAT's live events in six years and if he hadn"t put in the effort he has, we wouldn"t be here, simple as that.
Secondly, this announcement was made here first, before it was put on facebook or twitter. Mistakes do happen in posting details and Richard made one with his external post. I"ve made them. Richard has. So have you.
Thirdly the event has a $40 buy in, not pounds. See, above point proved.
Fourth and most important - it is clear from your posting history that you don"t fully get APAT, that"s fine - but either stay around and take a while to understand it or if you carry on with a criticism every third or fourth post you won"t be welcome here.
Now lets put it behind us and get on please. We are all pulling in the one direction, but fortunately or unfortunately, there are a lot of people involved.
-
Understood but just a follow up to your 2nd point....cant find where the announcment confirming the time and day of satellite is on the forum......you suggested it in the OP but there is no confirmation anywhere which is why I was confused when the FB post went up!!
-
Is this event in the "Stars lobby yet ?

Yes it says proposing which I took as suggesting and confirmation would be made as to if it was 100%.......maybe I misunderstod the opening post and proposing meat that it was already confirmed as 100% going ahead.....anyway like Des says put behind us and move on....enough said.

I"m guessing this question was overlooked due to lovely conversation that was going on :D

Pretty sure seats only. Packages tougher at this stage as Stars have sold out/satellited out their hotel block booking to qualifiers
-
Cant this be done on a midweek night to give players that cant always make the weekend games, maybe it could be done on both.
-
I am working in Enfield Mon/Tue so travelling across from Swindon on the Sunday afternoon.
Will I be sober - hell no
Will I play this - hell yes (hotel/pub Wifi - dongle - can with strings permitting)

If satty won can it be transfered to a different lef of the ukipt ??

I think the spirit of this particular event should see the winner take part in Nottingham. That said, I understand your predicament Steve and if you win a seat, I would have a word with Rob on your behalf, failing success there you would be able to take a seat at another event.

Well I"ve answered that question for you Steve, but as I said, would be happy to try and broker a new start all around if that is of interest to you. I think given the spirit of what we"re doing here it may be possible - but that"s just my opinion.
-
Of course, this is assuming Scouse is able to outplay his way through the minefield that will be a quality field of APAT players. Not going to be an easy task, even for a satellite expert like Steve. ;)
-
No probs des , as long as if i win a seat and he says ok ,and i am not targetted as soon as i set threw the door like last time . Will have a bash then !

+1 Mr B. Big year for APAT with DTD and we"d like you to be there for it all...

The satellite is now set up. As the prize has a £"s value, we"ve had to set it up in sterling. Therefore the buy in will be £25 + £2.50. A seat to the £1m UKIPT leg at DTD will be awarded for every 31 runners in the satellite, so let your friends know via twitter and facebook please!
I"ve amended the original post as follows:-

So who"s up for it?
-
I"m definitely going to treat myself to this game. Way over my normal bankroll but I"m desperate to play such a massive game at DTD. I normally say good luck everyone but in this case I"m saying good luck meeeee ;D
-
Great looking structure for this satty.....defo in.......any chance of Stars adding a seat or anything?!! ;D
-
Looks good to me, I"m in. Is the password the usual?

Is always 2 sides rich i fully understand this. But weirdly enough never been banned from any other casino and only ever been asked to leave at 1 other casino and that was newcastle when i poured my own drink after showing my money to cameras and leaving money on counter. Which made the doorman laugh when i explained it. Strange why i only have a problem in one place / one person i believe. And is being loud an offence to be kicked out? And is 5 pints for me being too drunk i dont think so (still basically stone cold sober for me). But yer there is 2 sides and i think as a lot of people think i was unfairly treated. Granted i know have been spoken too before in other places but always sorted with management / doorman with no problems apart from DTD(well one person there and obv managemen had to back him). Anyway if I am allowed back will see how it goes but if targetted again would 100 % never go back again. May even not drink but would still be just as loud and prob still get a drinking ban lol

Oh its same time as grand national then . No point me trying then will be there lol
-
Poured your own drink. LoL.

To be fair to Steve when he was asked to stop drinking last time at the pro AM he wasn"t being out of line imo. I was at his table and he was just being his usual infectious self. Hopefully you can get it sorted mate.
