WCOAP 2014 Discussion Thread

[kohan]

as no players have been named for any of  the teams in the team event as yet will any player who reserves his/her seat in any of the events on the 17th /18th lose there reservation money if selected to play in team event at a later date, reason i ask this is that majority of teams will not be selected until late february and by then  the other events on those 2 days could be sold out

because I played in vegas in the napt I was told I get free entry to a tourney of my choice how would I do that,i want to play the 6 max on the 18th april at the wcoap I don"t mind paying the £5 reservation fee but how would I go about reserving this without paying the 50pound answers asap .

Hi Roddy,

On Monday night we"re going to have holding tanks for all events via an online poker partner.  We"ll initially also offer reserved seats in the main event.  We"ll hold off on offering seat reservation on the side events until the following weekend.

Look forward to catching up in London.

Hi Des!

This "online poker partner". Is this being revealed tomorrow night too? I would read the whole thread, but it"s a bit late!

Thanks!

That"s my understanding.

It might be that the announcement will be made (with sign-up code) in advance of actual buy-in time to give us chance to download and move cash about but I guess we"ll find out soon enough.

Yes, the situation with the online partner is that we will have an APAT tab on their software and some branding in their lobby, but our players will only be able to see our events if they are tagged with the APAT code.  This is an interesting alternative to our own online site which we will investigate closely over the next few months.

Will ask for clarity, as won"t affect me.

What happens if the person is already registered with the online partner?

It you are already registered with the online partner, then you should still be able to sign up for an account with the APAT version of the skin if you do one of the following:

a) Use a different payment method on the new account.

or

b) If the only payment method you have is currently in use on that other skin, then you can ring up and ask them to remove it. You will now be able to use this payment method on the APAT skin.

The last time I did that for DTD"s new online site they removed my whole card from the other skins and now I cannot play on them.

Is there no other way we can have our user names linked to APAT?

Do not download the software direct from the Coral site, or you will not be able to play APAT exclusive games.

I don"t think that will be an issue on this occasion.

(Just to cairfy ... I didn"t mean I thought we were shifting over to DTD, just what happened last time I was told I would need to remove my card from a site in order to be linked on a different skin)

You can do either for the main event, but you can only buy into the side events.
