UK Amateur Poker Championship 2009 - Discussion

[APAT]

there is a good chance, players can register during first 2 or 3 levels for early KO"s?/

am i right?

You"ll need to get there early to get on the reserve list.  Some people will drop out before the start - and reserves on the day will replace them on a first-come, first-served basis.

After the start it"s the chance for alternates.  As someone goes out, an alternate replaces them.  This is for the first two levels only.

There won"t be any drop outs on the day Daniel.  If players cannot attend, the responsibility is with them to find a replacement via the Seat Exchange board.  The only dropouts that tend to come are via emails on Saturday morning and at that stage the APAT team are all working at the venue.  If somebody finds themselves in the situation of having to drop out on Saturday, then post it on the Seat Exchange board and somebody will almost certainly pick the seat up at the venue.  Any transaction remains the responsibility of the two parties involved.

That would be a Delta as indicated in the text on the home page.

Tried that too but it rejects me every time for some reason.....no card issues as far as i know.

Delta for visa debit worked perfectly for me *thumbs up*

I was going to use a Visa debit card (my poker account)... but, then decided the additional "Verified by Visa"  screen might slow things up too much??? So went with Maestro (current account) and tried the cut & paste technique... only to realise that I could have typed it all in faster!

As I said previously - this is wrong, it shouldn"t be an option. If the payment page were fixed nobody would have a problem with it

Isn"t the verified by visa for credit cards not, not debit?

I paid for something the other day on a site which has verified by visa, but it didn"t come up - I guessed it was because it was the debit card. hmmm interesting.

The first time you used the visa debit it may have asked you if you wanted to do it and you may have said no.. It"s an optional added security layer if i recall correctly, thus if you pressed no all those years ago, you"d never see it again?

Not within our power to change this.  Metacharge (PayPoint) are one of the largest payment providers to gaming companies in the UK.
