How do I buy into an APAT live event?

The ‘Tournament Dates’ option on the home page contains dates and locations for events, satellites and direct buy ins.

The schedule can be found via the following link:

http://www.apat.com/index.php/apat-tour-schedule/

A percentage of seats at APAT events are available exclusively via satellites at Blue Square.

For live APAT events, satellites are offered at $22, $11 (both freezeouts) and $5.50 (rebuy). For online APAT events, satellites are offered at $11 (freezeout) and $5.50 (rebuy).

The leading ten players in the National Rankings will receive an option to buy into the next live event.
The previous year’s Champion will also receive an option to buy into the appropriate live event.

The remaining seats will be sold to members via the home page of www.apat.com

The total number of seats available will be determined by the size of the host cardrooms. Generally this will be between 130 and 200 seats in total per event.

Seats will be made available at 9pm sharp on the evening of sale, through a link within the lead article on the home page.

How do I pay for a seat?

APAT uses one of the leading gaming payment providers; PayPoint, to process its transactions. Payment can be made via the following debit cards: Delta (use this if you have a Visa), Maestro and Electron.

Entry is limited and subject to the terms & conditions of the Amateur Poker Association & Tour. Players must be aged 18 years or over and be able to produce a Passport or Driver’s License as a proof of identification at the tournament venue.

All seat purchases are pre-authorised. This means that no seats will have been paid for, until APAT processes each transaction. This will ensure that APAT does not sell more seats than are available at the venue. Getting a sales receipt is not a guarantee of a seat. In the event the tournament sells out during the initial on sale period, a confirmed list of players who have bought in will be published on the APAT site at around 11pm. APAT reserves the right to cancel seat orders in descending order date should the tournament become oversold or the venue capacity reduce.

Players will be required to have a Blue Square Poker account, no later than a week prior to the event taking place.

Once a seat has been sold, refunds or credits will not be issued. Players will be able to utilise the APAT Seat Exchange board to trade their seat for the face value. Seat exchange terms and conditions apply.

This is a quote from there FAQ....... to be honest it just makes me more confussed!!! any ideas???

I would have gone, Nottingham isn't far from where I live. Bout 60 miles I think.  Trouble is our son is due to be born on the 27th, so It is probably best I dont  Very Happy

I noticed they do tournaments at the grovesner sp* In Walsall too, which is where I come from ( I don't live there now, but it's only up the road)  So if every there is anything on there, and a few of you fancy it, you would be welcome to crash at ours.

I looked a bit further in to the site, and it says it's one of the casino's they use. I know they have some quite big tournaments there. I used to play the beginner tournaments on a saturday afternoon there. £10 Buy in. Usually 20-30 turned out. I came second a couple of times.

Lost to my mate heads up the one time. I lost, but got the money in good with a set against his top pair, only for him to get runner runner flush. He bragged for months, I kept trying to explain that I won more in EV but he was having none of it  Very Happy

I spoke to brokerstar about this place i used to go when i played cash a lot before i stopped poker for a year. Its a really very good establishment you will need to become a member though to enter as far as im aware its free so read there website. I know 32 players doesn't seem a lot but remember they need to supply dealers for each game, and the other tournaments and they will likely have cash tables and probably sit and gos running too so they can only give up so much resources. I went when they held the norwegian open there really good atmosphere and since they treated it like a holiday was loads of drunk players running riot at the tables happy to ship 200 pounds in on a bluff, basically here was cheap for them compared to norway! w

32 runners is pretty bad. i wouldnt have made the trip anyway for a £50 BI for that small a prizepool. some other events around the time look ok, though.

would LOVE a £250 128 runner event or something!

With 32 runners the subject of this thread is wrong.

Should have been:

amateuristic world championchip Smile
Brokerstar

LOL

Who decides the 32 players??

How mad is that? they should have a huge online qualifier for like $10 and the last 32 from thousands should make it through.
