they're one day championship events

Des suggested on an APAT thread 3,000 chips , but I think he was referring to the limit events primarily

[Jon MW]

All side events scheduled for 2.30pm.
 
The PLO is 10,000 chips, 30 minute clock

Razz and Stud are limit, structures being established at the moment

Wat?

2.30pm? On a schoolday? 10k chips?

It was 3k when I bought in last night - I assumed it was an evening tourney.

Well you know you should never assume - and the information was available before then if you'd looked.

Des,
Could you please let us know the intended start time for these side events.

Thanks

Hi Mike,

They are scheduled as daytime events - so with a 2.30pm start.  We have also capped the field size to 70 runners in the Omaha and 50 runners in the Razz and Stud.  If there is demand for the side events we will extend the festival and increase field sizes in Season Three.  The main event will have a 200 capacity and be run as all other APAT National Championship events.

Yeah, I edited my original post before I saw your replies.

*goes to get holiday form to fill in for time off work*

10k chips ftw, will be great fun

[matt674]

oh well, had sent in entry for omaha but won't be able to make 2.30pm starts as can't get any time off work - was looking forward to putting my name down for all the events

I'll jockey for ya

[Sheriff Fatman]

I'm confused.  The website says 9pm start time for the Razz and Stud events.  I assumed Omaha was the same and bought in, thinking that I could go after work.

Which start time is correct?

Edit - forget that, I've just spotted that the 9pm times are the 'on-sale' start times.

Post left up for any other idiots to avoid the same mistake.

The PLO has been advertised as 3,000 chips but we hope to increase that as we do not expect to sell out.  Final decision on Sunday once the event has been marketed.

[Graham C]

Do you expect Razz and Stud to sell out Des?  Would like to play but I can't decide if I want to fork out £50 plus travel to London just to have a bash in them.

It's very hard to say Graham as we have no previous events of this nature to compare against.  If we do fail to sell out online I would have thought we will see players buying in locally in the run up to these events as they will be something to experience.

[NoflopsHomer]

I'm playing the side events but not the main event. Gutted no 08/PLO8 or .

If we see demand this time around we'll develop this festival a good deal further Chris.
