Yea, pretty gutted also that ITM has been removed after a two year stint. I know it"s tenuous as we r a somewhat dormant podcast and not a proper poker group, but after seeing the list of entries it"s "seems" more little homegames are creeping in.
Never mind. Let"s hope these new ones turn up on the Friday and stay till yen end of Sunday and support all of the APAT games that weekend. :)

Just to echo this, I am so disappointed not be given the opportunity to attend now as this was a real personal highlight of the season last year.
Given all the members of ITM have supported APAT for a long term - traveling to all the events on mass, getting involved in things like the cash tour, the online events etc. I don"t really understand what has happened for us not to justify a place. Feels like a slap in the face.
Good luck to all on the day and hope it is a good one.

Yea, i was thinking about it all day at the Goliath and it really bugged me.
Team Gotham, was created because of APAT, without APAT we would exist/know each other and last year that wasnt enough for the group to get in. Ok, we played for my "podcast" but primarly the group are all die hard APAT players, that travel to pretty much all English based legs.
£200 Wembley Event, the core of TG/ITM where there.
When asked to test Des" poker betting idea, we where there.
When asked to support the cash tour, we were there (and pretty much the only ones)
7 solid days of WCOAP, in London, we all were there and most played every event poss for the full 7 days.
Online Legs, always there.
Core of us frequent the forum, and buy/sell pieces to help the community play more poker
I, for one, as captain promote APAT whereever i go, via social media etc.
We boast 3 of the Top 4 of last years rankings (you only get up there by playing events)
God knows how many medals/bracelets between us.
Always at the top desk, chatting to help improve, move things forward.
You may think, typical Dann, moaning but to be honest it feels like a kick in the teeth when you spend your spare time doing this and then you get overlooked, in favour of some private homegames.
APAT built TG/ITM group, but refuses to give us the chance once a year to play as a team.
Thanks
IrishTom:
I personally made this cock-up, and I apologise wholeheartedly to you and your team Dann - I know how much you guys support APAT and how much you do and say "behind the scenes" - ITM should very much be included in this year"s UK Team Championship and as of now the list of accepted teams has grown to 31 with the inclusion of ITM - the "online qualifying event" will be for the 32nd and 33rd team (and through some begging with Manchester we will get an extra table).
I hope you can forgive and forget - it was a personal oversight of mine that I cannot correct by including ITM at the expense of an already selected team - therefore it is only fair to select 31.
Regards/Tom

Doesn"t matter...ITM won"t be using it for very long.
Chips! :)

Yet another example of APAT pushing the boundaries and taking full responsibility and offering a solution when something doesn"t work and enabling common sense to prevail. Hat"s off to you Tom, it"s situations like this that reinforce why APAT are so important in the industry.
Personally looking forward to inevitably being on Batman"s table and cold four betting every single one of his three bets.
GL Team Gotham.
