This over-eager APAT enthusiast who took advantage of the slip-up, has now unregged.

Good news is I now have £80 for the rebuy  ;D

Did I mention I love rebuys.  8)

But it"s open with no guarantees of closing at any point before the scheduled opening time tomorrow night, so what will you do in the highly unlikely event that you don"t qualify tonight? Will you wait until 8pm tomorrow night even though others can potentially register throughout the day?

I know you are trying to do the right thing but I"m fearful you could miss out as more people pick up on this.

William Hill have cocked this up guys, which is regrettable, but it"s happened. Try have confirmed on several occasions that they were going to close the tank but appear unable to do so. So let"s assess where we are tomorrow, once the final satellite has completed.

I"ve only just realised the buy-in for Coventry is tomorrow night, after a quick read on here. So can someone just clarify this please. The tank is open in error for the buy in but we can"t use it till 8pm tomorrow?

What would YOU like those with names in the tank to do Des & will APAT be enforcing anything? I will not be able to unreg in the morning but could do so tonight.

Or to Tighty"s point above re selling out quickly do you suspect it won"t be an issue?

Not having a go. Whether other people take advantage or not, is no concern of mine.

I was just explaining why I will wait till tomorrow at 8pm.

That and I"m too lazy to deposit till the last minute obv.

I can"t speak for Des, JP, but my personal opinion is we"ll be ok

200 capacity at Coventry. More than APAT events there previously. I don"t think anybody tomorrow night is going to miss out by the tank being open early, unfortunate though the error is

Therefore I don"t think anyone else needs to jump the gun and register early. Not that some of APAT's finest have set you a great example, accepted :D

Well I"d prefer to have a final position from William Hill before taking a call. Ultimately a mistake on their part has led to the issue, not from APAT or the members. I"d be surprised if we sell out quickly tomorrow. Depending on what WH say tomorrow, I can certainly delay the on-sale database mailing until Friday.  That should giv everyone a fair opportunity tomorrow evening.
