APAT Glasgow Discussion

[IrishTom]

Ladies and Gents, although not overly involved in APAT events since the merge of LPPL into APAT, with Mark The Shark taking the lead on things, I have however remained heavily involved in the planning alongside Mark and I look forward to being your APAT Host for the weekend of events in Glasgow.

As a (mainly) cash poker player myself for many years, I especially look forward to seeing how the Cash Tour continues to develop throughout Season 7 - and no doubt I (hope) will receive your feedback to help with fine-tuning this unique experience.

(BELOW AMENDED 14 OCT 2013:)

A Player Briefing, Full Schedule of Events, Cash Tour Rules, Seat Availability - in fact all official information for Glasgow will be posted on this thread when finalised and with the LATEST details, decisions and updates incorporated into the first 3 message postings on this forum topic. is be available HERE

Please, please do take the time to introduce yourself to me over the weekend - it"s going to be a busy one!

I look forward to meeting you all there.

Regards/Irish Tom

Thanks Tom, and just for the benefit of the guys.....Tom is the current IPO Champion and was the chipleader at the most recent Irish Open when it reached the final table.  So a pretty mean tournament player also!

Are you really planning to run the Cash championships on Friday and Saturday night, with the final table in the early hours of Sunday morning? This could cause a clash with anyone left in the main event.

[Rhino56]

Apologies, I didn"t read the cash tour championships proposal before posting.
It certainly gives more players the opportunity to get involved, but as in the previous post, it could cause clashes for some players.
Regardless of how its run, I"m in!

Hi Rhino, Cash Tour FT planned to run early afternoon on Sunday and to conclude 15 mins before the start of the ME Final 27 - so any of the Cash Tour FT who have also qualified for the ME Final 27 will have 15 mins between events - on average, I guestimate that would be around 2 players.

[Rhino56]

Hi Tom, I can now see you"ve given this a lot more thought than me and hope it all works out well.
I"ll look forward to meeting you in Glasgow.

Can"t wait, will def come say Hi Tom, cheers for the great planning and update.

Please see the 3rd posting on page 1 of this thread for an updated list of attendees for the Main Event - there remains only 7 EVENTBRITE "RESERVE A SEAT" places left to guarantee your seat - you can do so by CLICKING HERE.

Your comments/queries etc are still very welcome for the DRAFT Glasgow Player Briefing and Schedule of Events (and Cash Tour schedule and rules etc) as notified and still available to read on the 2nd posting on page 1 of this thread.

Regards/Tom

I"m a little concerned that my name doesn"t appear on the list of attendees. I won a seat under the FPP"s promotion and asked to play in the Scottish Championships on that thread and Matt confirmed my request!
Thanks for your attention in this matter

Quick question - one of the Lancashire contingent has paid the £5 reserve-a-seat fee but now can"t guarantee to be at the casino before the cards are in the air. Would I be able to pay for him at the cash desk and his chips be put in play from the start ?

Please see the new addition to the Player Briefing which should clarify things for you:

Registered players (and ALL players MUST register on the day) who have not taken their seat by the start of the first break, will have their chips removed from the event and their seat immediately made available for late-entrants/Alternates (who may join DURING the break).

This suggests that the travelling/late player must have registered at the casino before the start of play.
You haven"t answered the question of whether players can register for other players in their absence.
