APAT tournament entry

Hey try this no direct buy in to nationals all seats to nationals spread over the regionals and on line.
Cream of the Cream !

For the European event last year, I had two browsers open on my laptop (IE and Firefox, just in case), and two on my desktop (which the wife was manning - or should that be womanning?). 

Already having your card details ready, maybe in a text file (for a quick copy and paste), and also making sure you"re actually at home all helps!

I got in.

I think I"ve just given away some trade secrets there, so it might be harder next time....nevermind.

OMG - And I thought I was sad!  

I got in, didn"t I?

Or alternatively, all entries via live regionals plus direct buy in, scrap the online qualifiers.

I think I suggested this last year and was quickly shot down. I do like the idea but can understand why APAT might not buy in to it. (no pun intended)

Alternatively, leave it as it is?

Gets my vote, can"t think why nobody suggested it before

I quite like the clickfests in a sort of masochistic way and no i havent got in every time with them!!!

As for an earlier point about someone not being prepared to travel to go on a reserve list remember season 1??

Lee Mulligan wins in Wales fails to get into Scotland.

I get to Edinburgh at 10 am and who is camping outside.... Lee, keen to be first on the reserve list.

where did Lee have to come from to get to Edinburgh??

Oh yes  Southampton!!!!

thats dedication!!.

Wasnt Scotland a random draw and wasnt it the event with the most withdrawals?

I think the clickfest ensures people who really want to play the event get the remaining seats

Absolutely - top idea.

Until the end of Season 2 anyway

Just one point about the regionals.

I played in the Grosvenor Plymouth regional on the Sat 6th Oct, but only found out about the event on Thurs 4th Oct! The card-room guy caught wind of it on the Wednesday!

Only 16 runners turned up, hence 2 seats for walsall and winner take all prize money on the night. At least I picked up some ranking points.  

Maybe a better turn out in on November 10th.

The first regionals were kept purposefully low-key, as they were effectively trials.

The subsequent ones will be promoted and it is expected there"ll be greater numbers at them as a result.
