Season 4 Announcement

[Paulie_D]

How are the seats for the specialist series being sold? What happens if you have a seat in the main event and specialist,then make it to day 2 in the main?

Current information is that the Specialist Series seats will be sold Saturday/Sunday at the venue only.

They are primarily intended for players busting out of the main event. If you make Day 2, you would have to unreg from the Specialist Series....I do not believe that multi-tabling will be permitted.

seeing that there are 7 tournaments at the live world amateur championships  does anyone know are the tournaments going to be sold all at once or on different days.

We don"y know as yet but based on previous experience the direct buy-ins will be on different days, or if on the same day, at different times.

When will this be confirmed?

I want to play in the Razz tourney on 18/4 is there any way I could reserve or pre-reg without travelling to the venue either: making a special journey the day before or on the day and possibly not getting in?

I won"t be playing in the 2 day event, any idea on max. runners for this particular tourney?


Thanks,

Billy

Basically...No. You would have to make the trip. I am not aware of any plans to extend online registration to the Specialist Series.

The basic premise was that the Specialist Series was intended to give the players who had busted out of the Main Event something to do on the Sunday especially if they had travelled long distances. Of course, they have generated a lot of interest from members who are not playing the ME but that was the original intention.

any idea on max. runners for this particular tourney?

I believe that the Specialist Series events are limited to 50 runners.

Many thanks for the quick reply.

Do you know who manages the registrations?, if I wanted to travel up on the day and take a chance can I ring in advance and find out how many places are left?

Or can someone register on my behalf?

It"s all a bit up in the air...as I said, the intention was that these seats would be for players who had busted out of the ME and so tt might be that they will get the first option on the seats (at least that"s my hope) but nothing is known for certain.

As for how the how the list will be managed, we just don"t know...it might be managed by the casino or, alternatively, an APAT official with a clipboard and a biro.

We"ll manage a list on Saturday afternoon for APAT players to put their names down for the Sunday event

With the option to withdraw if they make Day 2

We"ll then pass that onto the casino on Saturday night

The list will then be opened up to all comers on Sunday morning at which point the casino will be holding the names until toruney is full


We"ll see how it goes this weekend but that"s the plan

No plans at all for remote entries/entries via friends. It"s primarily for Day 1 bustees.

[Paulie_D]

Thanks Richard...looking forward to it.

I don"t think there has been one. Sorry. No excuses apart from hecticness I expect


What do you need to know?

[Blatch]

Any idea of number of runners pls?  Looks like holding tank has been removed

a full 100 for the Amateur

16 for the Pro. This will be open on the day, clearly and haver contacted a number of the Welsh "circuit" players to let them know about it. Great value for those playing though clearly disappointing in other respects
