should just be sat for live apat then i can win more seats in sat lol joke think u should think about binning click feast and just use online sat

[mattblue]

Clickfest is Bingo.  ...

Except it isn"t.

If you"re there when the link goes live, and you"re not an idiot, then you can get a seat.

The more times you try to register or buy things online the better you get - that kind of rules out luck.

Ergo, bingo is not an appropriate simile.

Suggesting that anybody who was sat at their PC at 9pm and didn"t get a seat is an idiot is unfair and harsh.  Acting as if the suggestions and ideas put forth are an insult to the organizers or somehow undermine their efforts is madness. 

We (I) am trying to make helpful, not insulting suggestions, as it sounds to me like everybody in this thread are doing.  We realize it is run by volunteers.   Adding in ideas or pointing out where other have suggested solutions that might allow more people who want to participate be able to do so, should not be offensive. 

My comment about volunteers was in response to an argument of why adding a second day is a bad idea.  I would assume more people would volunteer their time if that is what it took.  None of the suggestions I have read here today are put forth to incite a defensive or demoralizing debate.  It is simply adults talking out loud ideas and exchanging valid points, whys, how, what if(s).

Have we reached the capacity?!  I doubt we have heard the end of this debate and everybody whom didn't make it in this event are all excited to hear how the APAT will grow to fit the demand!  

Nobody has said anything here to diminish the thoughtfulness and hard work of the men who started this brilliant association. 

here here well said man

can get a seat, not will get a seat.

You should read the actual words before making false inferences.

Incidentally, anyone who hasn"t got in and is just looking to pay a live event of this buy-in level with a good structure and great environment should head straight for DTD..superb venue which wasn"t an option for those who weren"t able to get seats in the first season.

Thats twice in a week I have agreed with Dan! Come on you Blues!

Not everyone plays online, or can play online so you"re excluding a lot of people.

No that"s not what I mean.  I for example, use a Mac.  Blue Square"s poker site doesn"t support Apple Mac.  Anyone who doesn"t use a PC is therefore unable to play the satellites. 

Also some people just prefer live poker, it"s a different game and asking those players to qualify online is unfair as it"s a game they"re unfamiliar with.  

Even if everyone used a PC that still doesn"t address the capacity issue.  Still 200 seats for 500 players.

and if they cant play online they should think about asking me to do it for them scene i can win more than one lol it just to me makes it fairer way only a suggestion

What about those that work when the satellites are on?  Those that just don"t play online (there are quite a few), those that share a computer with their partner, and so only one can play at a time?

As it stands we have four avenues to qualify for a national.  Your suggesting having just one option.  I don"t see how that makes it fairer.
