Three ways to enter:
... and the demand vastly outstrips supply - the seats are usually sold out after 3 seconds.

Hence the term "clickfest".

FYP

ok lets say I win the clickfest, this would be my first 10,000 chip tournament and Im wondering how many players make it to day 2. the fact that the blinds are 45 mins long is it possible to just sit back, not play a hand and make it thru to the next day,(not that i could ever do that as im so impatient).

Also whats the normal average stack at the end of the day? i.e what do I realistically need to make it thru to day 2???

Usually plays down to about 20 players.

No.

With approx 20 players making day 2, the ave stack will be (200 x 10,000)/20

On saying that, you can make it to day 2 with any number of chips.

If you sat back and didn"t play a hand - you"d probably finish in the top 80 in a 200-runner APAT tournament (that"s a guess).

As Ian said, the plan is usually to play down to 20 players (give or take).  So the average would be 100K (if there are 200 runners).

Did Caz tell you that?

Funny man, Daniel. Actually, I remember the range of chips Caz has had each of the 4 times she"s made day two - her lowest was 24,000 and her highest 92,000.

If you sat back and didn"t play a hand - you"d probably finish in the top 80 in a 200-runner APAT tournament (that"s a guess).

I knocked a no-show out last year in Walsall, at about 8:00pm - we even give him/her a round of applause. Or was the round of applause for me actually knocking a player out.......? Can"t remember

No problems.  As long as you stick to casino dress code, then headphones/caps/shades all fine.

All APAT nationals are black tie events this season so a cap may look daft.

Just don"t have your music on too loud so you can"t hear the dealer or other announcements at the table. 

It is bad etiquette to not be able to hear what"s going on so that it slows the game down if you have to ask "what is the bet", "is that a raise", etc.  In fact, a lot of people make mistakes (sometimes costly ones) because of this.

If I listen to music when I"m playing, I tend to just put one ear-piece in, and even then I don"t have the music on too loud.  You can miss out on a lot of information.

... this might all be obvious but it would be great if someone could answer the following.

Walsall will be my APAT debut ...

In terms of the $150 package what does that actually include?

Do I just need to turn up at the casino - or take some proof of winning it?

In terms of the tournament itself am I correct in saying it is likely to run to 5 a.m. in you are still alive?

Day 2 maybe 20 people left - how long does that usually last?

Is there some other tournament running on Sunday at the Walsall casino - for those who don"t make the second day?

In terms of the casino - what is the dress code - can you just ship up on the day with a driving licence for ID?

Any answers would be great!

Cheers
