APAT tournament entry

[tinkerman]

 However, some people have more advantage for the click-feast so this will actually mean it less likely for somebody without the knowledge of winning the click-feast a much less chance of getting a spot.

Could someone explain this statement... what is "the knowledge of winning a click-fest"?

The only thing I would change about the "click-fest" would be to sell the seats in two lots, at different times on different days.

This would ease the pain of those who -

• Can"t make Wed night.


• Can"t make 9.00pm.


• Had computer / ISP problems.


• and any number of other reasons for missing out...

I think that people have already mentioned in this thread the things they do to give themselves an edge.  Some people have very slow connections and are disadvantaged.

I"m new and haven"t tried to enter for a national event and not sure I"ll be able to anyway this season.  I haven"t done one of these click-feast things, so don"t know what you need to do.  Also I don"t understand why people want a click-feast or less it is going to give them an advantage.  It is clear that a draw is the fairest way.

Of course a lot depends on what the objective of APAT, is it just to provide these events or give fair opportunity for all to play in these events and as many people as possible to experience deep stack live events at an affordable price.

Of course as highlighted by APAT earlier in the thread, the practical advantages of a click-feast make this the easiest way of allocating seats at the moment.

Some people have very slow connections and are disadvantaged.

As I"ve stated earlier, I have a slow connection and an old PC - 4 successes out of 4 via a clickfest, and 1 out of 1 via a draw.

Maybe I"m just lucky, I am pretty sure, however, that technology is not that much of an issue.......

This season for the National events there are 3 ways to gain entry; live satelite - online satelite - clickfest. This gives all members a chance to gain entry to the events.

The national events are limited by the number of seats available from the casino, and I think these could be sold twice over. But we have what we have and we have to make the best use of it. Each event gives every member of the APAT a fair way to gain entry. I know the dissapointment of missing out on these events but as many have suggested if you want to get into these events, and it does depend on how much you want to, but you will get every opportunity to get in. Even turning up on the day after travelling hundreds of miles, flying to events and turning up with no pomise of a seat. Not that the APAT would condone this, but this is what members have took it upon themselves to do, to try to enter a tourney.

The demand is way outstripping supply but this is a good thing. This shows casino"s that there is a good solid market for long deepstack affordable buy in tournaments, and hopefully after some time they will change the way they run there normal tournaments.

That saved me typing.  Agree with all of that.

I agree Iain, I saw you play in Dublin and there is no way you got that far through skill.
