The APAT Scottish Amateur Poker Championship weekend will see the start of a reinvigored "updates" approach from APAT where we will "trial" a new live blog and stream via HERE (http://www.apat.com/forum/index.php?topic=11493.0)
Tonight during the Cash Tour (Leg 4) event we will live stream and provide a blog with a view to tomorrow giving you a much improved service with multiple camera action provided live, and with each level of the Main Event captured, edited and available within a "library" ON DEMAND for you to select exactly what "pre-recorded" level(s) you want to watch (whilst still having the option to view the "live" feed) - and interact with "live chat".
Please remember, this is a "trial" where we hope to improve the service not just over this weekend, but looking towards future events as well - feedback is most welcome.
-
Good luck with it today Tom hope everyone has a fantastic weekend up there.
-
Just about to leave for the Alea looking forward to having a good day and making some new friends at the APAT Scottish Am Championships. ;)
-
Have a great time all.
-
On the bus and on my way. Good luck all but especially me :)

Looking for any updates on last night"s action, when I click through to the "blog" all I get is some weird hunger games thing

Click the little X on the right should close advert.. ;)
-
I can see Tom explaining the rules, to I think, Steve Bradbury (who looks like he"s chip leader after day 1 of the cash game?)... (well done Steve!).
Feed is very small. Is there any way to make it bigger (other than make it full screen)?
Also, unable to comment in the chat box. It"s set up for "moderator only chat"? I reckon open it to all guest posters too - I know the trial we did the other day allowed that.
Aside from that, it"s smooth enough and sound quality is good enough for sure. Pretty loud there! :)
-
Chat now open to everyone. Nice one :)
-
I"ve just increased the size of the feed so it"s much easier to see what"s going on. If you"re already watching, refresh the page to get the new size.
-
Nice start up to 21k, fingers crossed it keeps going :)
-
Chip counts please,
Chris Hiam
Barry Simpson

good lad mikey what was the starting stack pal 15k?

I think I"ve gone mental. I"m looking for updates from last night"s cash tour. I"ve tried the video but can"t make anything out, I click on the live update thing and it just gets me through to the updates menu. Where are the actual updates?
-
Chris 14k Baz 10.5k starting stack 15k
-
Any chance of chip counts for Ross Hibbert , mike Scothern , Ian szerlowski?

Hi Tom - just type the request in the chat roll - http://www.apat.com/forum/index.php?topic=11493.0

Just logged on to find out what"s going on - I"m none the wiser - perhaps the worst live update ever? Is there even a player list anywhere? Plus live stream doesn"t work on phone. Oh well...
-
Just thinking the same.
Logged on to see how it was going, and apparently I have to watch a video that shows a table where you cant really see who is on it or what the action is. There is no hands being shown? No updates with a personal touch?
Not a fan so far.

Hoping that this is is a trial & there is going to be lots of improvement, otherwise it"s a backward step imo.
-
Yes this is a trial and the team are finding their feet today. A lot of information is being communicated via the stream but I agree it needs to be more readily available and I"m sure it will be later tonight and tomorrow.

We also want to know what has already happened as well as what is currently happening. Still can"t find any details of last night"s action and the updates link just directs to the forum menu.

I"m actually a big fan of this live feed (and I"m not just saying that because I work here :) ). I think the commentary from Tom, Andy, and John Murray"s guest commentary, has been first rate.
Agree that having standard text updates as well would probably be the best though. So, possibly a 2-person update team with 1 person doing the text, the other the live? With guest commentators where possible...
Hole and flop cards would be pretty amazing (not sure if technically feasible though?). I also like the idea of some kind of box under the feed showing, by position, the names and latest chip counts of the players sat at the feature table.
-
Paul McHenry up to 130k and has taken the chip lead
-
GL to Grant, Suzanne, Naz and Vaino. It was unfortunate Vaino lost a lot of chips in the hand before the break, hope he can claw back.
-
Blinds 600/1200 ante 200. Average stack is 50k
Grant Spiers former Scottish Champion is now on 110k

Hold APAT at Genting Casino"s or speak to Paul Zimbler/Andrew Booth (Andrew runs a company hosting these tables).
I like live stream but not as the only option. After a day out it is nice to read back on action throughout the day ... as a player it"s also nice to read back after play has finished for the night. More importantly, with my ****e laptop I can"t play online AND have live stream open ;)
-
Thanks Mich, aye, I know about those tables (have worked live updates on a couple of APAT's where they"ve had these, and thought they were very good). I meant I wasn"t sure if it was technically feasible with this current set-up... #
Agree with you that both feed + text would be the best solution.
-
Ah, sorry, My bad .... I thought you meant not feasible full stop ;-)
Might be worth contacting Andrew for future games, just to see what costs are involved for a one table hire (if non Genting Casino"s allow them that is?).
-
One problem with the RFID ones I"ve seen is that they cost £130+ per deck of cards(!). The tourney I worked on they ended up going through 8+ sets of cards as they kept getting marked. Ouch.

Just got back. Was too busy counting all our goals at the Etihad so finally settle down with a glass of wine and a chance to catch up with the day"s play......
Well, probably been said before ITT but: live stream is great but as the sole media coverage it is not adequate for the members (both players, who like to catch up on the day, and interested parties who like to dip in every now and again)
As it happens I can"t get the feed on my phone, so I"ll just leave with a "good luck to anyone left in, if you are indeed still in"
The particularly disappointing thing about this is that live stream has been used before at APAT events and feedback then (season 4 I think it was) was in favour of written updates to support the live stream. Furthermore, IIRC if people had to choose 1, they would have preferred the text update. I thought this would have been considered before a decision was made on how these tourneys were best updated.
I know people are working very hard here so I don"t wish to sound too critical but a few hand details, a few chip counts on request, some big pots reported and the odd anecdote is the formula that made the updates so entertaining. Would love to see that again. Maybe I"m in a minority with this though?
