APAT European Amateur Poker Championship 2008
APAT:
The 2008 European Amateur Championship will be held at the Poker Royale Casino; the home of Europe"s largest cardroom, which is just outside of Vienna in Austria.
The event will have 200 players and be played over the Easter bank holiday weekend. Play will start at 2.30pm on Saturday March 22nd, with the final being held the following day.
Online satellites will be held at Blue Square at 8pm on every Tuesday, Wednesday and Sunday night, starting on February 3rd and running up to February 17th. The entry price for satellites will be $30 + $3 and there will be a $600 prize for every 20 players. Each satellite will offer 3,000 chips and 12 minute levels.
60 seats will be allocated to European based poker groups and amateur players are expected to attend this event from Scandinavia, Italy, Germany, Austria in addition to the UK and Ireland.
The remaining seats will be sold via a direct buy in from the APAT home page at 9pm on Monday February 18th.
Hotel rooms will be available from 30 Euro per night for the event.
APAT will run a live update from the event as we follow the progress of 2007 European Amateur Champion, Gareth Ower and fellow members, in Austria.

Exciting stuff. Can you tell me how much the direct buy in will be please? Does the $600 prize from the satellites cover the entry fee only or travel+entry or something else?

£75 buy in .
So $600 to include expenses of flight and accom.
APAT:
The buy in for the event remains £75, so the $600 will leave around $450 to contribute towards a flight and cheap hotel.

Ooooh Germany lite, I"ve never been there. You mentioned earlier they wanted 600 runners, has it been capped at 200 by APAT? Could we not have just said max 600 runners and sort of played it by ear as far as demand goes from the clickfest?
Will we have to eat boiled cabbage? I might take sandwiches.
