We are currently looking into running a mini online series before the start of Season 3 for all APAT members.
Initial thoughts are that it would take the form of a series of $20 freezeouts with 3000 starting stack and 15 minute levels. We would look to vary the days to give everyone a chance of playing.
Payout would be as per standard Blue Square tournaments.
Points would be awarded for the top 9 finishers, with your best three finishes counting.
The overall leading points scorer would win the added value of a guaranteed seat at the National Event of their choice for season 3. (If there is a serious amount of interest, we might be able to talk Des into throwing in a drink at the bar aswell)
If that wasn"t enough value, Des has threatened he might even play a few himself.
Please post on this thread if you would be keen to participate in this series and as always with APAT, let us know your views on your preferred days/buy-in/format etc.

I am in the process of signing a deal with poker stars at the moment from my play at this years WSOP , would that affect my play at Blue Square ? Waiting to hear back from my attorney on 23rd Oct. I would be more than happy to play. Thnx GJC

I don"t think anyone"s going to shoot you down in flames, you"re more likely to have a great deal of support.
I agree with you that APAT needs to provide realistic buy ins for all it"s members. I"m sure Des, Leigh and the rest of the team have/are taking on board the views of all the members who have posted.
You can pop your head back up from behind your short stack ;D
Swinebag:
good points Bart.
I for one, am for a variety of buyins.
In S1 the buy in the buy-in online was $20 and the take up was much bigger than in S2 where the buy-in was $10. however there were double the events in S2.
I would propose a range of buyins from $5 to $100 with satellites available into the bigger buy ins.
Remember, amateur doesn"t neccessarily mean low stakes. A lot of members here have spun up very sizeable bankrolls and are still amateurs because poker is not their main source of income. The idea of a variety of buyins means that more members are included.
By just having a low buyin that everyone can afford, you will get people not bothering because the rewards of winning will not justify the time needed to play it.

APAT is all about it"s members and I"m sure, as he did before Season 2, Des is taking all this feedback on board when coming up with the Online, Live and Satellite schedules for Season 3.
