APAT Regionals Leg 2: Ready Reckoner

[WiseOwl]

Just spoke to the Vic card room - telephone reservations are not allowed but you can register in person.  This is a b****r as I am not in London until Saturday.

Tried ringing Plymouth. Told that card room manager was on holiday and no one knew anything about APAT let alone the fact that they are running the tournament on Saturday. No one else was available, but a card room supervisor is due to call me back at 7.00pm this evening. 

I"ll keep you posted.

Funny, I spoke to the Vic cardroom (Ext 2556) at 12:01 and pre-registered with no problem.

I specified that I wanted to do so for the APAT Tourney on Saturday and was advised that I would have to pay before 1.30.

Give it another go.

Ditto Walsall.  The girl who answered the phone told me I couldn"t register over the phone, but to do it online at BlueSQ (not a bad guess from her!).  She said best to phone later when the card-room supervisor is in.

Which is what I"ll do!

Just called back at 4pm as advised.  Spoke to someone else who was reluctant to put me through.  He told me it wasn"t an APAT event, but I convinced him the £20 freezeout at 3.30 on Saturday is an APAT event so he said he"d try and put me through to the card room.

They"re just starting a comp, so couldn"t come to the phone.  Told to call back in an hour...

It"s all fun!

Just registered at Walsall. 

Was told the tournament starts @ 3:30, and the casino opens @ 3 o"clock.  Payment has to be made before 3:15....

That could be interesting.

Treied to ring Luton a second time this afternoon - was told by the cashroom that they weren"t taking reservations, only names and phone numbers and someone would call back as soon as possible.

Still not heard back.

Grosvenor Newcastle - Registration now open!

Gala Edinburgh - 19:15 : Cardroom Manager is reluctant to allow pre-registration without payment. I"ve been speaking to Ronnie who is now re-approaching Cardroom Manager with the complications involved in players having to travel from all over Scotland to register and pay.

I await a response. Can you help me out here at all Des? Is there anything else I should be saying? Do you have a copy of the material and requests you sent the participating Casinos?

[MAIR]

I"ve spoken with the Casino just now also Neil, they are going to phone their general regional manager to confirm whether we can pre-register without paying til saturday and over the phone, I await their call.

Hi

First time post

I am travelling from Amsterdam to play in the Scottish regional tourney and did plan on going down early on the day to put my name down but now I see that may not be necessary. I contacted the Gala Casino only to be told that the cardroom manager would not be in till Wednesday and to try back then. As I have already booked my flight over I will be pretty disappointed if 80 people manage to phone up before me and pre-register but I suppose that cant be helped. Does anyone have any suggestions how I can make sure I can get a seat? I have no idea how busy it will be.

I would just like to add how impressed I am by everything I"ve read on this site and I look forward to experiencing the event on Saturday, either as player or spectator.

I have even hit them with the "but everyone else is doing it"  :"( patter! That"s what"s got Ronnie to go back to Ally with it. I explained that if he was willing to trial it this time, I said that IMO the majority of folk who were keen enough to pre-reg WOULD be there on Saturday!
