During the clickfest will there be seperate links for Day 1a & 1b?

Day 1b is likely to be most popular but I plan on playing in the Omaha on the Thurs so 1a would probs suit better and hopefully give a better chance of clickfesting in (should I fail to satty in)...

I"d also appreciate the option to select which "Day 1" I"d like...

The last time we ran a two day one event was in 2007 in Luton and that ran Saturday/Sunday/BH Monday.

Therefore choice of day ones wasn"t a big issue.

With this one running Friday/Saturday/Sunday, I am guessing people might not be keen to take the Friday off, although it is a 4:30pm start.

As usual, I"m sure we will try to accomodate any specific requests as long as it doesn"t get out of hand from an administration point of view.   ;D

...

Hence my suggestion that we will try to accomodate people"s requests where possible.

From an admin point of view, that week is going to be extremely busy with an 81 runner Omaha on the Thursday then two lots of 150 runner day ones.  With a number of late finishes thrown into the equation.

Then take the usual last minute seat exchanges.

Trying to ensure everyone gets to play when they want is our objective, but we can"t say everyone will get to play on their chosen day as it"s the usual supply and demand thing.

The exact detail is yet to be decided, but my suggestion would be this.

Once the 300 are known, those that have a preference post on the forum, if we can meet everyones requirements great, if not, then random selection is used to meet as many as we can and those unlucky few will either have to take the alternate day of exchange their seat if they can"t make it.  That would seem the fairest way of doing it.

But, as I say, yet to be decided.   ;D

My point was, "not keen" and "not able to" are entirely different.

My suggestion for fairness is that the players give their preference in order of payment.

Once one day is full the players expressing a preference for that day are offered the other one as an alternative.

If they know they can"t make that day then it can go to the next down the list who failed.

I expect that most people will accept the alternative day and then try their best to be able to make it, and sell it on the seat exchange only if it"s absolutely not possible for them to make it.

Generally I don"t see random selection or any kind of lottery as a good way to decide matters - and as their is a record of when people paid, it might as well be put to good use.

Post by: APAT on March 04, 2009, 11:18:52 AM
We will be using the same method as with our last three day event.  Players will be able to input their preferred day 1 with their payment and those days will be allocated in order of payment.  This event is being put on sale 5 months prior to taking place so there is ample time for people to organise a day"s holiday if they want to play and do not get their preferred starting day.

Title: Re: APAT World Championship of Amateur Poker (27th - 31st Aug)
Post by: APAT on March 04, 2009, 11:32:18 AM
There is a significant difference.  We will not be offering the "second" day as an alternative option, then moving down the list as and when players decide whether to take the option or not. 

If their preference day has filled up we will either a) allocate a seat on the second day and the onus moves to the player to sell the seat through the Seat Exchange Board or b) not allocate them a seat.  That one will be decided before the event goes on sale.

It has to be option a)

I would be gutted if I had clickfested intime, but my choice of day one had gone and I was not allocated the other day one if available.

And if it is not an option for anyone, then they can always put it on the seat exchange as you say.

I would say this as well, especially as if they were given the option I would expect most people would accept the alternative day and then try and "find a way" to make it.

Having said that I don"t think having 50 seats going through the seat exchange board would be a good idea - so if there are too many I can see how administratively the other option would be preferable.

I"m sure this is the reason... but it does kind of negate the advantages of holding the event at Europe"s biggest poker venue.

Was at DTD last night, and it was heaving.  333 runners (plus alternates) for the £300 comp.  By the way, Darren Shallis (aka Newportlad) has just reached the money with a healthy stack in that).

In addition to the £300, they had 9 tables for the usual £50 comp.  There were also 7 cash tables running from the start.

Every table was in use, and they even had to use the VIP lounge to accommodate everyone.  It was mayhem, but brilliantly organised. 

I can imagine it will be similarly busy when APAT comes to town.

I agree.

Is there an option "not to choose a day"?

Because if you HAVE to choose a day, it does not mean that you can"t make the other day - it"s just that you HAD to choose one.

If you qualify by the clickfest i.e. one of the first 220ish to have completed the ordeal, you should be entered.

As Des said there is plenty of time to try and make arrangements to make the other day. If alas you can"t then I am sure there will be 1 or 2 that would be interested in buying your seat.

It has to be option (a)
Title: Re: APAT World Championship of Amateur Poker (27th - 30th Aug)
Post by: AMRN on March 10, 2009, 11:32:45 AM
I agree with that - I would be happy to just get a seat.... Des can then stick me in whichever day1 he chooses - I have no preference, and will be there for the duration anyway.

I don"t think I"ve seen any that cheap, so you might be safe to go for it.

As far as I know the only hotel which is within walking distance is the Riverside Travelodge, so any other hotel you can assume you need to factor in petrol/taxi money.

It"s where I stayed for the opening weekend - it"s less than 1.5 miles with the quickest route (up the Boulevard - over the bridge) - but, yes, it might be further than some people might like to walk.

This might be a stupid question.......................but, why are we playing satellites for a August competition in March?

All in favour of planning a diary of events, but why 5 months ahead.

I plan usually 4-5 weeks ahead. cant see the rationale on 20 weeks, anybody else thinking the same way?

my take on it is....

as its an amateur association and the majority of members work during the week and that the WCOAP takes place during the week as well as the weekend, then this gives people the chance to

1. buy in to the events....then
2. get time off work, giving bosses plenty of notice

Just crashed out in 18th when it folded to me in SB and I shoved to try take BB and Antes with 47 - BB called with A7... Can"t make any of the other online sats and i"m skint at the mo so can"t afford to clickfest. Good luck to all who make it tonight and the rest of the week. Hopefully get a last minute seat exchange ticket...

+many

was hoping to play in all of these but that may look unlikely now, but I accept thats the way it goes.

1 question though, I"m sure I read that the guys who are at the top of the rankings will get the opportunity to always play in the next event, so with several championships prior to this, how will this work ? will some seats be left over in reserve so that if these guys, come the time, if they haven"t qualified via sat or clickfest will they still get a chance to buy in ?

For example, extreme case, but if I were to win the Welsh, Irish and Scottish championship but didnt qualify via sat or clickfest for the worlds, which would obviously put me top of the rankings, would I still get opportunity to buyin ?

I have a question regarding when I will know if I have gained a Main Event seat via clickfest.

I"m interested in the ME & Omaha..so far so good, but if I can"t get a seat in the ME my backup is the HORSE.

As the buy-in dates are only two days apart (ME/HORSE), i don"t want to clickfest the HORSE if, the poker gods willing, I can"t play the HORSE due to success in the ME.

So, will I get to know if I have been successful in the ME clickfest in time to NOT buy into the HORSE?

I don"t think there is any way that the 300 seats will sell out on Thursday, so there should be no delays in confirming your main event seat.

a.  It does seem odd but I think the little bit extra buy in, with the bank holiday weekend, and of course the expanded capacity means that it probably won"t sell out straight away.

b. Lightweight. I"m planning on entering and winning the ME and the HORSE.

Post by: BobFish on March 17, 2009, 21:26:45 PM

I did actually speak to him / her 4 times to enquire as to why he was playing again!

The silence brought out the worst in me


I guess I should break my silence and explain myself..

When I played in APAT event for the first time, I was bowled over by the friendlyness of the other players & organisation, and could easily see that it could get extremely big.  Des and the guys (& gals) do a superb job.

However, I have become extremely disillusioned with the behaviour of players during the on-line events.  Whilst every site / championship has episodes of, shall we say "less than friendly chat", I would expect APAT events to set a certain standard.  (isn"t friendiness part of the APAT mantra?)

Last night was a prime example. 

Because one particular player decided to play A8, he was systematically mocked, talked down and basically heckled by a number of regular APAT players.  And this i beleive is because he wasn"t in the APAT "club".  and I don"t mean the association, but a clique of players who have obviously been members from very early days and have decided that any new faces should be torn down a strip or two at any opportunity.  The unfriendly chat went on for quite a while and was in no way constructive.  Nor did the chatters attempt to engage in a conversion with the player in question, instead deciding to chat about the player in the third person, as of he wasn"t there.

I was blxxy fuming at this behaviour.  it wasn"t directed at me, and I stayed off the chat, but I have been the subject of such episodes myself in previous events.

And I have seen lots of other examples.

Why oh why do players think this behaviour is acceptable on line??? They would not dare to be so rude and discourtious in a live tournament, but I guess they feel brave with the protection of the screen.

APAT looks to be going in the right direction with a bigger main event in August.  If we are not all careful, it will shrink into a very niche organisation because it will not be able to attract new members and keep hold of them.  Who the hell wants to join an organisation where the existing members just trash talk everyone else.

Lets all grow up a bit and keep the chat positive.  Let"s not single out players because they play one style or another.  (poker would be a very boring game if everyone played according to the same formulae).  And lets encourage new players, whether live or on-line, and get them to join the site.

As to why I didn"t answer back to your on-line chat, it"s switched off (Because of the above).  Not my fault you called my all-in raise with a weaker hand.  And I wonder if you would be complaining if the hand had gone the other way.

P.s  I"m very pleased I didn"t see your comments in the chat box, if the previous post is accurate, which I have no reason to beleive it is not.  (again my chat was off).  But perhaps it on confirm"s my comments here.

Sorry about this jumping about, there are two threads running on this.

Full answer is on the other thread, but basically, I registered by mistake thinking it was another event.  Please read the other thread.

I would have unregistered, but the table had already opened when I realised.  but having paid my $10, I decided to play.  same style, same cards as any other torney.  No silly calls or draws just because I have already qualified.  just want my $10 back.

I did actually speak to him / her 4 times to enquire as to why he was playing again!

The silence brought out the worst in me


If Mair"s quote is accurate Foggy, then I recommend you retract that statement publically as soon as possible.  We are not going to accept that sort of stuff, under any circumstances.  I read above that you are going on holiday in the morning, so I will pm this to you and would appreciate a response on your return.

Bob - fair comments, and I too hate chat box trash talk from people who wouldnt say boo to a goose in a live game. I think APAT is an excellent community to play in, both live and online, and believe there is far less rubbishy trash talk than in more standard online games.

Question for you.... having qualified for the WCOAP Main Event last night (well done on that!), why are you playing tonight"s satellite?


I thought this all got stopped....????


Sorry about this jumping about, there are two threads running on this.

Full answer is on the other thread, but basically, I registered by mistake thinking it was another event.  Please read the other thread.

I would have unregistered, but the table had already opened when I realised.  but having paid my $10, I decided to play.  same style, same cards as any other torney.  No silly calls or draws just because I have already qualified.  just want my $10 back. 




Thanks for the clarification Ian and please accept my apologies on behalf of APAT for those comments directed at you this evening.

It"s no problem, Des. 

Although sparked by an registration error by me tonight (I"ll be more careful in furture), I had intended anyway to post comments about the chat in last nights event.

If tonights episode initiates a little debate about the standard of on-line chat on BSQ, then perhaps we can all get back to playing good poker in a friendly atmosphere.

Des....by all means take a look. I (think) I was involved in the chat that BobFish was referring to and, frankly, I firmly believe that he is grossly overstating what went on.

I had my JJ cracked by A8 on a by x89T8 board and from memory, yes, the A8 hand selection was commented on (not by me other than to criticise my OWN play..IIRC) but rather by another player (toilet72?) at the table who was not involved in the hand.

I do recall the chat going on for a while between me and the commenter and, yes, we spoke about the A8 (lady) in the 3rd person but that"s the way you speak about someone who isn"t in the conversation.

The lady is, of course, entitled to play any hand she chooses and if it wins I am extremely unlikely to take it enough to heart to give any grief. I"ve been there before. In fact, I lost the minimum on the hand as the lady didn"t value bet the river.

I would not say anything in a chat box that I wouldn"t say over a live table.

If I have a HH (inc. chat) I will try and find it and review my comments but regardless, if anyone was offended by what I, personally, said, I sincerely apologise. I cannot speak for the other commenter.

EDIT...it seems that the HH does not store the chat but the table no was, I think, 272835104, if anyone cares to review.

At the end of the day, anyone can play how they choose, APAT is, after all, an Amataeur Poker Association and Tour and we are all learning and all have our own style.

I look forward to a more friendly chat area in future APAT tournaments and less "having a go" when someone isnt happy with a style of play.

Just to clarify, my only comment on the playing of A8 was, I believe, "sigh" ;D when it sucked me out.

The other participant in the conversation was the one making the disparaging remarks.

Was that when he was railling and talking to Darren Sallis in league match?

He"d got knocked out (in fact first out) by me, he went all in after turn with A high. I called with top pair - Ks jack kicker and flush draw. He had A 8 (the hand he was criticising ironically).

He started to have a go at some muppet (me) who would"nt put down KJ (suited). He was not aware of the fact that I was also railling. So when I pointed out that he was always behind he threw another tiff.

However, I did not consider it "over nasty" - just a slightly overheated discussion about the theory of poker by someone who thought he had been hard done by.

I think the fact that he was first out did not help ;-)

I believe, and this is only my opinion as I haven"t seen the screen shots in question that you will make the choice at the same time as entering your name before you get to the payment screen.

Normally a player list goes up sometime after 11pm.  Bear in mind that this is 300 players (instead of 200) and the admin required to allocate the days correctly.

I"m sure Des would be hoping at the worst case, to have it sorted before the omaha sale tomorrow evening.   ;D

6) All seat purchases will be pre-authorised. This means that no seats will have been paid for, until APAT processes each transaction. This will ensure that APAT does not sell more seats than are available at the venue.

Payment isn"t normally taken until a couple of days later.

I ignored Lloyds verification thingy by clicking "don"t verify now".

Not bothered which day I play.


That really threw me.  Question is will that crop up tomorrow now.  Only 4 behind you even though i did verify


Have to admit to being all fingers and thumbs  :D Haven"t clickfested for ages and out of practice - hope we all get in.

So let me get this right.....the lower the ID from Paypoint.net governs if you obtain the seat? So mine xxx486 is likely to mean I haven"t made it? Or does it work from the time you click the "register" link on the APAT site and submit your name?

Only ask because I tripped up on my card number the first time which cost me a few seconds, but this would seem a barmy way of doing it. APAT will know at what time the form was submitted with the playername and preferred date, so the time it takes to fill in a payment form should really be immaterial...anything else is just a stupid way to do it.

Anyway, fingers crossed I guess. One other thing - despite APAT saying its just pre-authorising, the email confirmation clearly thanks me for my "payment" and gives me a transaction ID, which seemed odd

A lot of runners have gone for Friday as their starting day so hopefully most players will be allocated their choice.  We will do our best to print a list of exceptions ahead of the Omaha clickfest tomorrow evening.

Don"t think the trans ID is any indication as other payments through the same provider would be in the middle of all ours

Yippee - this is the first time I"ve actually succeeded with the clickfest direct, and that"s because I went to the trouble of getting a different debit card (the lengths some addicts will go to get an APAT seat!!) A bit of stress when I forgot my new verification code but got thru after trying 4 of my regular passwords. Good lcuk to all who still have to click for this and other events. Thanks, Des, for letting us know we"re in  ;)

Seems you have different card numbers in England then in Germany.

Tried several times and my Maestro-Card always produced this error:
"The value specified in field Card Number is too short"

Now way I put in my number wrong 8 times in a row!

Normally a player list goes up sometime after 11pm.  Bear in mind that this is 300 players (instead of 200) and the admin required to allocate the days correctly.

I"m sure Des would be hoping at the worst case, to have it sorted before the omaha sale tomorrow evening.   ;D

Maybe I"m just an amateur at these things, but this has gotta be the most confusing posting process I"ve ever come across.

Assuming this appears, when and how will we be able to access the list of accepted players?

Not sure what you mean by confusing ?

But, a list will be posted on this forum for both day one"s in due course.

It will also be linked on the homepage.

By the sounds of it, if you have gone through the purchase process tonight, then you will have a seat for one of the days.  Exactly which day will depend on whether you were in the first 150 for your chosen day.  If not, then you"ll get the alternate day.

Hope that helps.

Leigh answered this earlier in the thread.

Normally a "players list" would have been posted by 23.00hrs, but due to the fact that there are 2 x "day 1"s" and 300 players (not the usual 200) it will be a little longer.

I suspect that Des will post a link in this thread to the players list when completed.

Another quick question,
In the T&C"s it say"s players must have an Blue Square Account.....
Does it have to be a real money account or just the standard account you get when you first sign up?

As i have had an account for ages just never put any real money on it.

That"s fine, but you are missing out on the APAT online games.

They are played on Blue Square

Online National League, fortnightly on a Sunday ($10)

And the National Championship events with a GUKPT seat for the winner as added value. ($50)


You should give them a try, excellent tournaments, excellent players, excellent structure, excellent added value.  You get the idea ?

The ones with one first day do. This has double the capacity.

Luton in Aug 2007 didn"t sell out straight away - that was the first APAT I played and I bought my seat, one of the last, some time after they went on sale. It"s holiday period so some who would otherwise play are on holiday, or at Reading/Leeds/insert festival of choice in here, or wherever. It will sell out.

Crizzy,

The payment won"t be taken for at least a week. Go through the buying process now if you want a seat in the Omaha, and just make sure you get to the Bank sometime during the week.


I"ll take your word for it a cross my fingers there"s no bank charges. Was going to gamble and do it for the Main Event - wish I had"ve now!



That"s me in - I hope...

Well, there were seats available when I shut down last night and I haven"t seen Des post that it is sold out yet.

It will depend how many people bought in during the early hours of this morning whilst Des was catching up on his beauty sleep.

Fingers crossed for you.   ;D

Sold out by the time I got home. It was wrong to have it on the last day of the Six Nations because most other clickers don"t come from a country with a world-standard rugby team that beat everyone to become champions of Europe and will provide the majority of the Lions squad.

There is a clear anti-Irish bias at the top of APAT.

Damn , w/end away. I didn"t think there was any chance of PLO and HORSE selling out half a year in advance so didn"t organise a surrogate clickfest specialist. >:(

Let me do the maths on this:

DTD have 45 tables

DTD"s 2 nightly tourneys = 22 tables
DTD Cash tables = 6

Leaves 17 tables available for APAT, and with the APAT events all being afternoon starts there should be more available come DTD"s nightly 8pm games.

So how come the low number of seats for these APAT events. Any chance of APAT and DTD finding more places available for all the WCOAP events?

Missed HORSE clickfest........... why limited to a Measly 48 runners ????

to hold the clickfest on the final day of 6 nations is ludicrous IMO.....  and judging by the tens of thousands that descended on Cardiff on Saturday, i"m guessing this is the opinion of many.....

Any chance of extra seats being made available?? I"m up DTD all week, and would be great to get a chance to play a live HORSE tourney.......... here"s hoping!!

Bear in mind also that anyone still in the main event is not going to be able to play this, so a few seats might well become available late on the night before / on the day.

I guess it will be a right place right time thing as it will be upto the players involved to shift their seats I think.

It will be slightly different to a normal APAT due to the later start.  The last three day structure had between 15-20 players back for the final day from each day one.

I would guess that would be the aim again.  Although, watch this space for me to be told different.   ;D

And Day One (b) will obvoiusly be dictated by however Day One (a) ends.

It will be slightly different to a normal APAT due to the later start.  The last three day structure had between 15-20 players back for the final day from each day one.

I would guess that would be the aim again.  Although, watch this space for me to be told different.   ;D

And Day One (b) will obvoiusly be dictated by however Day One (a) ends.


Cheers.. I guessed it would be down to those numbers, guess this is linked to where the Days are stopped (and number of alternates), but any indication at what number will be paid out? Sorry for the questions.. its 5 months off and I"m already getting excited  :-\



Normal APAT structure is 10%, so therefore 30 for the main event

I notice that the payment for the ME seat has been taken from my account today...but not the Omaha.

It was my understanding that these would not be processed some days from now...or have I missed something?

I have the cash; so it"s no great worry...just wondering!

MY ME PAYMENT HAS BEEN TAKEN AND AN ALLOWANCE HAS BEEN ALLOCATED AGAINST MY ACCOUNT FOR OMAHA AND HORSE, NOT A PROB I HAVE THE FUNDS.

It"s a little bit of all of the above


Dealer Training
Structure
Commitment to DTD exisiting tournaments and cash games
Opening times


There will be alternates available for both the Omaha and HORSE events, not sure the likelyhood of anyone getting knocked out early though.   ;D


Guess so.... and understandable IMO....

Still peeved tho.... 9pm on a sat night, on 6 nations final day gotta be the dumbest ever time to hold the clickfest....... someone really didn"t think that one through.......  surely i"m not the only one who thinks this !!!!


At least you won.

What is the structure - will it be full ring (potentially grim) or down to 6 handed?

From the number of seats, I"d expect it to be 9 handed...as it should be.

OK, an official line from Des would be appreciated.

9 handed all the way sounds harsh, Omaha is so much better 6 handed and most "majors" either start short handed or go down in the latter stages. Not that I will be there that long to witness it.....

Do not fear a 9 handed table, embrace the difference to 6 handed cash games and the chance to show your skill against more players per hand.

hmmmm 81 runners......so  81/6 = 13.5 tables....... or 81/9 = 9 tables......  suspect the latter is more likely.

Im not stupid, I can see the numbers dont go, my point was whether or not the structure would move to a short handed at a later stage.

I did actually speak to him / her 4 times to enquire as to why he was playing again!

The silence brought out the worst in me


If Mair"s quote is accurate Foggy, then I recommend you retract that statement publically as soon as possible.  We are not going to accept that sort of stuff, under any circumstances.  I read above that you are going on holiday in the morning, so I will pm this to you and would appreciate a response on your return.

Des.


As mentioned previously, having enquired as to why he was playing again, the silence was deafening. This did iritate me as I remembered Mattblues problems of a similar nature.

If I went over the top I appologies unreservedly.

With regards this happening again perhaps we could have some guidance as to the official line on someone playing in a qualifier again after already securing a seat?

Gotta agree......... is no excuse, but when someone does this, by error, they should sit out..... sat"s are limited as it is!!!

And it"s such a popular event to be knocked out by a seat holder gotta be a bit of a cooler in the least!!!

Try to remember its just a game, its all luck and have fun.
