You've whooshed me on the maths there, if I'm honest, & I do understand numbers reasonably well. Every "non-runner" effectively does not count. It's how many that INTEND to play that affects the maths, surely?

Dear Mr Chairman,
Maths is actually a bit of a strong point for me
If there are people in the draw that shouldn't they take away a chance for those that should be.
The only way to compensate is to allow more numbers to be drawn to compensate for the non runners......BUT yaou cannot possibly know how many there will be so it is a flawed science.

Inthebelly,

you need to go to go APAT home page  http://www.apat.com/index.html and register your interest there.

Inthebelly,

Isn't it just a case of sending an email to tournament@apat.com?

Dear Valued Member,

We are at cross purposes here. The way it works, it would not matter if (hypothetically) a million non-runners were entered in the draw, it would not affect the odds of the intended runners one iota. But as I am here to look after your every whim, I am most certainly not going to labour the point.

Your Doting, Caring, Sharing, Loving, Chairman,

Register an interest.

So wouldn't it be a good idea to send a confirmation e-mail to all those members who have registered an interest?

And an e-mail to all non-members who have registered an interest telling them they have to join?

Hi des.
When are the e-mails going out its getting mighty close to the draw day,

And i'm not sure if ive already shown interest via an e-mail..............so as per redSimons advice i've sent another.

[Indestructable]

I have had an explantoray email and now just have to wait for the luck of the draw. All clear and understood the process involved, but one quick question (apologies if allready covered).
If someone signs up and pays the money but then can't make it. I would imagine to some extent it is their tough luck as they have paid out, but what is the process of replacement. I guess what i am asking is could the person pass the entry on to someone else eligible, or would they have to go through APAT to go to someone on a reserve list.

Hi ericstoner,

To save several electronic trees, all members will be entered into the draw.  99% of members have registered an interest and in the unlikely event that a seat gets allocated to someone who does not want to play, then that seat would go to the first reserve.

Regards,

Des.

Hi Indestructable,

The rules state that a seat is non transferable. 

We want to avoid seats being marked up and sold on Ebay and the like, which might seem like a crazy thought - but there has been a great deal of interest in the English Amateur Poker Championship.

That said, APAT will always try to focus on our customer needs.  If there are exceptional circumstances, we will try to help where possible.  The decision would lie with Tony in consultation with the seat holder.

Regards,

Des.
