Thanks for that Leigh, all understood, but what is the reference in the holding tank tourney lobby (old clickfest) to "start time March 18th 21.00hrs" ???

I don"t believe it has any relevance other than they have to put a time on it.  Those tournaments are simply used as holding tanks for all players that will have a seat in the live events.

Would there be any sense in having the $50 pro" sat played first on Monday, the $20 am" sat on the Tuesday, the $10 am" sat on Wednesday and the $5 rebuy am" sat on the Thursday. The "clickfest" being held on the following Monday.

I ask because of another thread (an annual thread) about entering a sat with no intention of taking part in the actual event.

I would much prefer to take part in the Pro League but $400 is just a tad too rich for me. If the Pro sat was first, I could try that at $50 and if unsuccessful go on to the amateur sats.

I was lucky enough to qualify for Swansea in the $20 sat on Monday. I could have then entered the $50 pro sat on Wednesday.

If I had qualified for that I could have sold my amateur seat for $120 giving me a free entry into the pro event with already a $50 profit.

If I failed on Wednesday, the amateur seat would have still have only cost me $70, a discount of $50.

If I had done this, would I have had an intention of playing in the amateur event?

By having the pro sat first, this dilemma would be removed. You may also have more people trying the pro sat, and those who failed in the pro sat would still have a chance at the amateur sats if they want to, which they don"t have now.

I suppose if demand is high for the pro league, it is also possible for someone who may have qualified in an amateur sat, not to be able to play at either of the events.

There is an arguement to finalise qualification for the pro event, before qualification for the amateur even starts.
