NOTES and TIPS about WPTAPL ONLINE: Make your experience
is a good one!
- SHOW UP EARLY! Login a minimum of 15 minutes
before the start of the event to assure that everything is ready. If
you login minutes before the event you are setting yourself up for
failure!
- On occasion server errors and/or event
settings may require that we “reset” an event.
If required, this will UNREGISTER anyone that was previously registered
for the event. Arrive early and make sure that you are still registered
for the event to assure that you will be seated at a table when
the tournament starts.
- The gaming platform is integrated into the WPTAPL website and does
NOT require any download to participate in events.
- The platform is BROWSER BASED. This means that the performance of
the software is based on your PC being up to date. Please make sure
you have the latest version of Internet Explorer or Firefox. Also verify
that you have the latest ADOBE FLASH updates (you can download the
latest version at www.adobe.com).
- If the software freezes on you during the
event, just click REFRESH on your browser, login again, and you will
be reseated; A slow connection may cause sever lag and repeated disconnects. Broadband
speeds or better work best.
