Apologies, but we"ll have to extend this a bit further as on reflection it is considered more appropriate to discuss with Aspers before releasing to members for comment - disappointing I know, but this way we can give you an agreed draft schedule having had the benefit of input from John Scanlon at Aspers (Poker Manager) and that we know works for both parties and still allows us to retain flexibility to act on members" feedback before confirming a final schedule before the end of October (2014!).

I would hope, well, I will at least aim, to provide you with an agreed draft prior to UK Amateur Poker Championship in Leeds on 11th/12th Oct.

Hi Tom what"s the updates?? A few regulars who play Aspers have indicated that the draft had been finalised?? Or is it just rumours.. Matt Carter did post a pic of the variants decided on FB

Tom had to travel over the past week for personal reasons. However, the schedule is finalised and will be posted today or tomorrow.  It does look good, probably our best ever.

Quick question (sorry if it"s already been asked) - what"s my best plan if I want to play both the Antes Only and the OFC? Should I reg for both and if so, what happens if I"m still in the Antes Only when the OFC starts?

Also, does anyone have the specifics of which OFC rules they will be using?

Hi all,

First of all: great looking schedule! If I could I would play it all.

Which brings me to my question... What will be the rule regarding unregistering from a tournament prior to its beginning? I"m particularly looking at the events which clash or overlap; such the HU Championship and Day 2 of the Main.

Will there be any possibility to unregister?

Thanks in advance!

Hi Gareth, the simple answer is yes there will.

What we need to achieve is give everyone the opportunity to take part, which in turn means we do NOT allow players to register or play in multi events that overlap as, you can imagine, that leads to many registering for an event, and then having to withdraw because they are still in another event - which of course can cost another player a seat - which we consider to be unfair.  I believe it was the main reason why APAT, years ago, introduced the "seat exchange" facility that players use when they register for an event and then cannot, for whatever reason, play.  It stops someone (or dozens of people) simply registering for an event, or all events, with the real possibility that they cannot actually attend - but they hedge their bets - thereby taking a place that someone else could have had and who would have turned up.

I"m sure at times there is an acceptable balance - and the example you quote I think would be fine - but we need to rely on the player to UNREGISTER if it looks like they will still be in the 1st event when the 2nd starts - with your example you could simply see the APAT host to unregister from the HU - I would hope/expect this to happen at the point you know you"ve qualified for Main Event Day 2.

I know Irish Tom likes to run a book now and again...

What odds can I get on the following!?

Any Team Gotham Member winning a bracelet this year?!

Over/Under 4x FT appearances for TG?

Thanks in Advance!!

Looks like the non-pineapple, non-Fantasyland, 3-handed standard version of the game. As for scoring, I would expect the usual 2,4,6,10,15,25 and then double in the middle, 2pts for trips (middle) and then 1pt+ for 6"s+ up front. That"s what I saw when Aspers had an OFC tournament on a couple of months ago.

Would of been my first APAT event, however I"ve just registered for Coventry. Cant wait.
