Welcome to APAT.

It is a holding tank, which will get taken down on the 20th, so funds can be transferred to the venue for the 26th.

Standard practice.

As i"m used to the holding tank idea i didn"t take much notice of the tournament details but i did have a giggle at the following:

Starting Chips - 1
Blind Levels - 3 minutes
Starting Blinds - 1m/2m 100000 ante

I know there was a lot of pre-season talk about making sure we got down to the money on Day 1 but i think this is taking things too far!  

Although it may suit some peoples game!

Leigh, is there any possibility of changing this to much later in the day?

The reason I ask is that, as I recall, registration opens around 4pm when we"re only in level 2 or 3 and we have no idea whether we"re going to be playing Day 2 or not (which the majority are not) as the day has only started.

Either that, or allow people who DO make Day 2 (and have pre-registered for the Specialist just in case) to withdraw and get their buy-in back. Or is this something we can already do?

You can already do this. Safest bet is to register and then withdraw if need be

Cheers Richard...I wasn"t sure if we were allowed to withdraw....didn"t know if the casinos allowed it.

I"ll be first in line then!
