WCOAP Main Event Satellites
« on: May 19, 2010, 22:19:46 PM »
APAT are pleased to announce that from Sunday 23rd May 2010, we will be running weekly satellites to the WCOAP Main Event to be held at Dusk Till Dawn, Nottingham.

The satellites will run every Sunday at 7pm (BST), they will be $15.50 with no registration fee, and there will be two seats guaranteed each week.  Further details can be found in the Betfair Poker Lobby.

So whether you have already got your seat, or are yet to buyin, this is a great weekly way to satellite into APAT's biggest event of the year.


Good Luck to everyone that takes part.

Thanks Leigh, I think that is a really good idea...  Plenty of chances to get a lesser expensive entry to that game...

I know this sounds like I am just moaning all the time, and I do not want to discourage these satellites, but, there are 4 league games remaining for the team leage, and now all 4 of them games are to be played alongside these satellites...  Couldn"t there have been a non-clashing evening of the week to play these satts?

Cheers
Carl.

Excellent news. Carl you are a moaning mini, most people these days are quite capable of multi tabling 2 tables! ;) Unfortunately I don"t think I can make this one as Cricket clashes. Any way I think Leigh was going to give me a ME seat for winning the last competition, isn"t that right Leigh? :)

LOL Mikey.  Yep we"re in the big league now.  We"ve gone from giving away any sort of poker tat, to live national seats.  If only we could.

I will make sure that you get an exclusive item from APAT's Merchandising range.  Have I said when that will be launched ?   ;)

Just to clairify how these satellites will be paid out, as we don"t half make it complicated for Betfair at times, but they have been really good at meeting our demands so far.   ;D


These satellites will qualify you for a Day 1b seat.  If you have already bought in direct for either a Day 1a or Day 1b seat, then you will be able to unregister and get your buyin back.

If you have not yet got a seat and wish to change it from a Day 1b to a Day 1a, then you will need to contact Betfair and they will sort that for you.

If you have already satellited in for the main event, then please don"t be greedy.   ;)

At the moment, both days have a reasonable capacity remaining, this process may need to be reviewed as we get closer to selling out.


And just to clarify, Betfair are guaranteeing 2 seats every week.  As long as the demand is there, we will keep running the satellites.

It"s down to the players to play.  I"ll get the message out there, but you guys need to ensure the demand for these to allow them to continue.

And regarding the choice of Sundays, yes it does clash with the League games every other week.  Carl is quite right that not all players like to multitable, but we are always trying to balance it out.  The last thing we want is for members to feel that they need to be online playing APAT events every night of the week, so a Sunday is normally quite a popular day for players anyway.

I suspect one or more of these a"s and b"s may be incorrect?

What if you already have a Day 1a seat... can you change a satellite day 1b seat to day 1a?

I"m assuming the answer is yes, but it doesn"t quite read that way.

Yes, Betfair will move your seat to a Day 1a and then you can unreg your direct buyin.

So many scenarios, we should be able to cover most circumstances.
