I did try to register for this last night but was told I was already registered for another sat to this day. I took this to mean I"m in the holding tank for 1b and I"m not sure how I was supposed to get round this. I dont want to unregister, fail (as I invariably do) to get a seat and then not be able to get my place back. ??

Any pointers would be welcomed

Cheers

Ian


Hi Ian

Yes - Thats all i did the other week unreg from the holding tank, buy into the sat and then rebuy once knocked out. You"d have to run pretty badly for the 13 (as of this post) to be bought up during play..  (although don"t quote me on this!  :P)

Cheers

I had no idea satellites were already running for this!  I really want to go to this and hopa that I can still get at least a seat to the ME.  I have only just thought to look for satellites because I saw a mention of the tournament in a magazine.  I did notice an ealry thread stating that 2 seats guaranteed were not filling, so maybe this will change as Poker magazines etc start to mention. 

What"s the deal with seats for the ME, as in how many runners are there going to be?  How many seats left?  Can you only satellite in, or can you buy ini directly?

Thanks!

in total there are 414 seats, the tournie is spread over 3 days with 2 day one"s 207 players playing on each day with the remaining playing on day 2. i don"t know how many seats are left you will have to look on betfair for that. You can either buy in directly or if your lucky enough  to get one in a satalite.

Tried to reg, but of course it won"t allow cos I"m already in the tank. Now that the tank is full, advice please.

It"s a no-brainer, you can"t un-register. Maybe Betfair can make some adjustment to allow us to play ... ?

Thanks guys, maybe I didn"t word it well - I actually meant some official advice from APAT.

Something like a guarantee of getting back in if I unregister to support the satellite. Or a statement that I shouldn"t unreg as there are no guarantees.

Or how about a statement that Betfair is doing something to resolve this apparently insoluble problem? Leigh, they clearly haven"t looked at this. They need to set up a separate holding tank for satellites or anyone who already has a seat won"t take part.

If the holding tank is full, and you un-register to play in the sat, you can re-register to the holding tank when you get eliminated from the sat.

But if one of the winners of the sat wasn"t previously registered in the holding tank, or if someone buys direct into the holding tank while you are playing the sat then someone won"t get back in.

Is that right???

If you post on this thread saying that you are unregistering to play the satellite, and then cannot re-register, I will guarantee you will get a Day 1b seat still.

I am waiting on a response from Betfair regarding the main event situation, which I hope will arrive next week.

Any problems, just get in contact with me.

this is my thought too, now esp as Day1b is full....what is stopping someone waiting for it to re-open as people unreg to play the sat, and simply buy the space.

Too risky imo....although I appreicate the offering from Betfair/APAT, as great value
