Sunday 16 Dec and Monday 17 Dec on Blue Sq, 8pm $20+2 under the APAT tab
Clickfest for remaining seats Tues 18th at 9pm
Event is on 12-13 Jan 2008, Grosvenor Cardiff

Looks like a low turnout at the weekend for the regionals and only 95 in the Sunday online. Should mean more seats available via the clickfest on Tuesday.
-
Can someone please explain how the online satellites work please? I"ve only ever qualified via the clickfest to 100% success but may well play tonight :)
-
10% of the field in the online satellites will win a seat (and about £25 in expenses as well).
So last night there were 95 runners ($20 x 95). This gave 9 seats, and $100 for the unfortunate one who finished in 10th.

That"s great. Thanks for that. Will d/l BSQ later on tonight :0
-
How do we get our expenses? At the venue i suppose?
I qualified last night and i was curious to why i won an extra $50 and what it was for.

£75 will be converted to dollars. that figure (about $155) will be taken from the $200 with the rest put in your BSQ account a day or so later.

I don"t understand why there is a need for an extra $50?! unfortunatly I bubbled in 10th place but i did get a nice payout of $100. However, I would much prefer a seat in Cardiff.
If the top 9 had only got a seat rather than the extra $50 then there would have been more seats available!

whats the clickfest
What has been named as the "clickfest" by those who take part in it is the direct-entry system for getting into the APAT National events.
After the satellite entries, there are still something like half the places up for grabs - and demand outstrips supply (so there might be 300 people after the remaining 100 places, for example).
What happens is that at 9pm (ish) on the night of the clickfest (which will be tonight in this case) a link will appear on the apat.com homepage. Once the link appears, you will be able to click on it and complete and entry form. This includes your credit/debit card details.
Once completed your entry is sent in. This does not mean you are in the tournament. It"s first come, first served. So if there are 100 places left, the first 100 entries received will be allocated seats and the £75 will eventually be taken from their accounts (if you"re unsuccessful no money will be taken). Normally, the places are allocated to those who get their entries in within the first two minutes - so if you aren"t quick at getting your form completed and sent, then you miss out.
What is also created is a reserve list. This list is a continuation of the list of successful entries (so in this case if you were the 101st quickest to get your entry in, you"ll be at the top of the reserve list), and as people drop out of the tournament before the day their places are offered to those on the reserve list. On the day of the tournament, the reserve list is scrapped and a new one created on a first-come, first-served basis as they arrive at the casino on the day.
Back to the clickfest. The link only appears after 9pm, and so you have to refresh the homepage of the site to see when it appears. The F5 button is how you refresh the page on most web browsers.
I am a master at the clickfest. Poker is where I struggle.
