APAT Season Two Briefing
Shogun112:
Great work Des, Tony and Richard..!!
I only found out about season 1 mid season where I realised it would be a hard job to compete with the people who played from game 1. I have been looking forward to season 2.. My local Grosvenor will be Manchester so will like to try go there and qualify..
I would however like to maybe pass a comment.. I have been to a few casinos for mid week games, and a couple of times done quite well... The problem has been they all start games at approx 9pm and if you make the final table, you can expect to get home maybe between 4:00am and 5:00am... For the people who have to go to work, that is hard work to get up with 3 hrs sleep... So, I have told myself I will not do these mid-week all-nighters any more..!!!
Can you tell us has this aspect of the quals been spoken about??
Cheers
Carl..

As per the APAT statement; "Regional Championship events will be one day, dealer dealt, run to APAT standardised rules and offer players 2,500 starting chips and 30 minute levels." Also "These events will be open to a maximum of 80 players and 10% of each field will gain an entry package to a National Championship event"

Cheers, I"d missed that.
Doesn"t state how these seats will be allocated though, or did I miss that as well?
For example, I"m in the "Eastern" region, there is Walsall and Nottingham (assuming DTD gets the go-ahead). So that"s 160 places for everyone in that catchment area. It might be that places are easy to come by. But I expect that there will be quite a high demand and that they"ll sell out easily.
Just wondered how the entry for these will work.

Wow, so much to take in. This is a significant advancement for APAT and a big thank you to Des, Tony, Richard et al for all there hard work in delivering what should be a fantastic season 2.
There was so much information to digest at once and there was always going to be questions raised and I am sure this will all be answered in due course.
A word of thanks for Pokerstars for their support throughout season 1 and welcome to blue sq in season 2. The GUKPT has been so successful and I am sure the partnership with APAT will be very beneficial for both parties.
Looking forward to a great end to season 1 and cannot wait for season 2 to start.
Onwards and upwards!!!

Kinboshi,
I was thinking that APAT will become a whole lot more popular because of this... I have seen it on the tour of season 1.... Locals from the casino where the game is, they see a game happening, and they want to play.. So I think that each of the 11 casinos will have local regulars who know nothing about APAT right now, will find out there are regular APAT games on their regular nights, and they will want to get involved, especially with the prizes for the winners..!!
Cheers
Carl..

Des, to follow on from KinFishboshi"s post earlier, do you have a projected amount of entrants to the regionals. There may be 120 members living in nottingham ,so they may not be able to get in to either casino in the catchment area, or are we expecting that the places allocated will be enough for demand...
I may move to bonnie Scotland. Its got to be the easiest place to qualify from.
