WCOAP 2014 Discussion Thread

[AceOnTheRiver]

I have been dipping in and out of this thread so apologies if answers to these questions have been posted already but here goes:

- When will the buy in route via Coral Poker be closed?
- If I want to unregister for an event but don"t manage to do so before the Coral option closes, can I still do that, how and what is the deadline?
- Can we get some clarity on the rules / guidelines for when you are reg"d in multiple events simultaneously - i.e. you are reg"d into an evening event but are still in the afternoon event. I assume your buy in is refunded? If so how? Cash at the venue?

Thanks

Hi JP, either myself or Des will be the APAT Host each day throughout the week, so as long as you advise us whilst still in the "first" tournament and just before the start of the "second" tournament we can un-reg you and get you a cash refund (if you buyin at the venue or via Coral in advance).

Please see Matt's amended post below clarifying that you"ll need to use the seat exchange facility after Coral closes as per standard APAT events.

Guys, as the orginal response was amended. Can I get absolute clarity that the "seat exchange only" rule does not apply to the scenario of sill being in the earlier tourney and that players will get a refund in these scenarios?

Hi there all this is mine and my boyfriends first live APAT event, we have entered in the main event starting on day 1b, could someone be kind enough to give me the following information
1, What time do you have to be at the casino to pay the £110 (we have reserved ours seats for £5 on the APAT site)
2, I know we start with 15,000 and its a 40 minute clock, what do the blinds start at.
3, Is there a blind structure with break times available.
Hope some people can help and see you there

Hi Aaron, yes if he reserves a seat via the APAT Eventbrite facility that will guarantee him his seat (as long as he turns up at least 30 mins prior to the event and claims it) - if he doesn"t turn up then he can advise a name for it to be transferred to.

Hi Emma,

1. AT LEAST 30 minutes prior - if you miss this deadline then the seats will be re-allocated.
2. The structure has actually been ever so slightly tweaked after consultation with Aspers (and taking all things into consideration) - it will be a 20k stack on a 40 min clock - blinds will start at 25/50 for the Main Event
3. I"m just waiting final confirmation before publishing this - but I hope we have given everyone plenty of "play" whilst still ensuring we complete the event on time (and with a strong possibility we sell out both Day 1s with 200 each day)
