WCOAP 2014 Discussion Thread

I wonder if anybody can help me, looking to save money and come down Saturday morning rather than Friday but due to the main event starting at 12 o"clock I will not be able to check in till later so will there be a dinner break or a break longer than 30 minutes for me to check in to my hotel? Cheers chris

I have same problem - either have to check in very early (unlikely though), or let the hotel know that you won"t arrive til very very late. I"m going for the latter.

Have we any idea on numbers registered for Day 1b of the main event? The holding tanks have closed and the reserve facility on eventbrite won"t allow anymore reservations for day 1b.

Chris I expect there will be a 30 min break circa L8-L9 (although I expect you could check in before 1200 noon - leave luggage and they will move your luggage to your room when ready?)

However, if we are to have a rule that "no multi-tabling is allowed"

I would point out that I"m working on finalising a player briefing/schedules for all events and each event will have a short "late entry" period (obv is seats are available!).

Thanks again tom

On the first point above, are we definitely saying that? I thought it was a DTD rule in the past! Fine if we are, but just want absolutely clarity (and apologies if that was already stated.)

I can confirm that multi-tabling is not allowed.

Should be able to reserve now via Eventbrite..

Cheers Tom. Can you confirm the schedule of events before I buy in. Page 1 of this thread includes an Antes Only comp, which is not shown on the Aspers website. The schedule on the HendonMob also doesn"t include the Antes Only comp and many events are shown to be on different days...

[Padooki]

Can you provide some info on the actual tournaments? Just need to know the starting stack and clock for each event. The blind structure for the Main and Hi-roller would also be useful. I understand you guys are busy and don"t mean to bombard you with questions but it"s just stuff I and other poker players need to be aware of before the event.

Cheers again

Hi Haresh, - my fault that as I hadn"t updated The Hendon Mob - I"ve done that now so they will change it to read the same as the opening para which is correct and up-to-date - I"ll also drop Aspers an email for them to update their site.

Thanks for the heads up.

Just putting the finishing touches to these - and once I"ve had the thoughts of Des and Matt on them then they will be published - which I"d hope and expect to be able to do over this weekend.

I booked 2 seats per event for all the non hold em MTTs one for me, one for friend. Will the fact there both booked in my name cause problems on the day?

[MCTachyon]

I"ve just downloaded the Coral software and navigated to APAT tournaments.

I can"t find any of the events to buy in to? Just a few freerolls and same £5-11 online MMTs.

Have all the events been booked up?

Thanks in advance.

Hi Ryan, welcome to the forum

Did you download from http://www.apat.com/online or direct from Coral"s website?

The holding tanks are now closed, in order for Coral to have time to transfer the money to Aspers.

The reserve-a-seat option is still open here: http://www.eventbrite.co.uk/o/amateur-poker-association-amp-tour-4053909103

We are waiting on confirmation that Aspers have opened pre-event buy-in direct at the casino.
