Those players making it through Day 2 in Auckland on July 18 will be flown from Auckland to Queenstown on Friday afternoon July 23 and receive three night’s accommodation at the Novotel Queenstown Lakeside Hotel, located within a short distance of the Skycity Queenstown Casino. Days 3 and 4 will then be played with combined fields from Auckland and Queenstown making this a very unique event.

Sunday July 25 will continue until we crown our ANZPT Queenstown Champion.

  • I've qualified for ANZPT Queenstown, where/ how do I find out/check which casino I'm supposed report to before play begins?
  • Your winner’s letter will detail which Casino you will be playing Day 1 and 2.
  • I'd like to switch venues, is that possible?
  • It is possible to change from Auckland to Queenstown, subject to the hotel component being paid for. Email info@anzpt.com if you would like to do this. It is not possible to change from Queenstown to an Auckland start.
  • How many players will qualify from Auckland through to Queenstown Day 3.
  • Without knowing final numbers this is very difficult to predict, however, it will most likely be 15+ players?
  • Will the standard overall points or prizepool break up change for ANZPT Queenstown?
  • The overall points allocation of points will remain consistent with http://www.anzpt.com/overall-champion/how-it-works/. The actual prizepool break up will be confirmed once final event numbers are known in Queenstown on Day 1B.
  • I still have a question who can I contact?
