UK National 2010 - Grosvenor Victoria

[Paulie_D]

Hello

I"ve just registered on APAT and looking to play in the Live UK Tournament on 17th April at the Vic. A posting I read advised me to join up with Bet fair and buy a place through that site but having just registered there, I cannot find a way to enter this tournament. I"ve also tried the Vic casino but they are saying it"s not to do with them. Please can you help me with exact details of how I buy a seat for £75.

Thanks

Unfortunately, the £75 event at the Vic is currently sold out. There may be the possibility of an alternate seat on the day but these are usually few and far between.

Seats occasionally become available on the Seat Exchange but you will have to make your own enquiry.

For the future events, keep monitoring the boards for the dates of satellites and direct buy-ins (all through Betfair Poker).

Oh...and welcome to APAT.

If I"m not at the Vic at 2pm do I lose my seat or will I be blinded out until I show up?

As I paid my buy in via Betfair online it should be ok I hope.

Just in case my Eurostar arrives late...  

For the record I registered as "superballok" and come from Lyon all by train

Your chips will be inplay for when/if you arrive.  

Have a good journey over.

Thanks a lot. Looking forward to seeing you guys and other Apat members.

This is my first apat live event, I bought into this event via Betfair and I was just wondering how it all works, do I just turn up with my ID or is Betfair going to send me some kind of confirmation email. At the moment it says that a tournament is running when trying to close the Betfair Poker Client but I read that it is only for admin purposes?

You just need to turn up on the day.  Betfair may send a confirmation email, but APAT will have your details.

You will need to be a member of the casino, so if you aren"t already, you will need photo id with you to get signed up.

I think you can pre register on Grosvenor"s website to speed things up on the day as far as the membership goes.

[Paulie_D]

Yes, just turn up at the Grosvenor Victoria with photo ID and they will issue you with a membership card.

Make your way to the Poker Room and, all being well, you should be pre-registered for the tournament.

Confirmation emails with player briefings would be good though

I"m sure Des will get on the briefing shortly but I"d just look at the one for Wales and adjust accordingly for London based on the information available in this thread.

I meant in general rather than specifically this one - but then I"m very much a proponent of the idea that you can never have too much communication

[Paulie_D]

I"m with you there Jon...I suspect there are some logistical issues though.

I"m guessing that the primary one is the cut-off date for the Player/Email list which is always evolving as players register/unregister &/or sell/buy seats.

Send the email too soon and you miss people off who might need it, too late and the value of the email is diminished.

Plus...as we all know...sometimes the final details aren"t set until just a couple of days from the off.

I"d be happy to knock up a temporary briefing (which was sort of the point of this thread) but I think I"d be stepping on Des" toes...and I weigh far too much for that!  

[EDIT]

No need....I hear there"s a briefing on the horizon....coming...SOON

Player briefing is now up

How many players are currently reg"d for the Pro event?  What is the minimum number of players needed for the event to run?

I"m not sure how many are registered at the moment, you would have to check the tank on Betfair (if it"s still open). I think there were 12 last time I looked.

It ran with 20 last time, I"m absolutely sure that we will have enough to run it on Saturday.
