MAIN EVENT BUBBLE PROTECTION
As always, the Main Event Bubble Protection will be in effect. Ever since its introduction in 2016, it has been a mainstay at every APT festival. For players that qualify for the protection, they will be insured during the bubble round. In the event that a protected player falls as the unfortunate bubble, that player will receive a consolation prize of one free seat to the next APT Main Event of the same value or your buy-in back in APT tournament credits.
To qualify for the protection, players must meet these 3 simple steps:
- Pre-register
- Draw for your seat before the 1pm starting time

Eliminated players wanting bubble protection on the next starting day will have to qualify again.
