fandango:
Hi folks its coming up to that time of year again when the WSOP hits Vegas!!..
Although it doesnt start until end of May as per usual im already looking at forming my 10 player team for this years game. So im gauging early interest to see how many we can get to join in again after previous years of success.
The scoring system will be the same as last year where players who make deeper runs are more rewarded.
1st - 25 pts
2nd - 18 pts
3rd - 15 pts
4th - 12 pts
5th - 10 pts
6th - 8 pts
7th - 6 pts
8th - 4 pts
9th - 2 pts
cashing 1 pt
Six handed tables will be.. cash 1 point up to 7th, then top 6 will be rewarded as above.
8 handed tables the same.. cash 1 point up to 9th, then 8th as above
HU events.. winner 25 points, RU 18 points, SF all guaranteed 15 points, Quarter finals guaranteed 12 points and so on.
No categories or captains, so just select 10 players of your choice and watch them run
We also agreed that we will allow up to two substitutions up to event #10.. this is purely so if anyone has picked a player who decides not to show up, they can change only them (max 2) you can't choose another player if a player has already played one of the previous 9 events.
I haven't yet run it past John but I'm sure he wouldn't mind, I also think players can have two teams if they so wish.
Cost will be £10 per team as per normal and dependant on runners will pay top 3 places..
Payments to myself via Bank transfer or PayPal.
Regarding submitting two teams.. the teams can either be totally different or you can use players already chosen in your first team.
APAT have kindly added a National seat to eventual winner.. thanks team!!

Just five days to go til the start of the 2018 WSOP. So just five days to get your teams in. We want this to be our biggest competition ever and we're well on course to achieve that. Send your teams to me and your money to Carl. This year we will also be updating on Facebook as much as we can in this Group https://www.facebook.com/groups/594624544240933/, but this thread on the APAT Forum is still the main home of the league, where all the details, statistics and updates will be posted.
Barrie Cullen is the reigning champion, with just a few weeks of his reign left before the title is passed on to someone new. Barrie has already sent in two teams in his attempt to retain the title, and he has made several changes from last year.
To help anyone who isn't sure who to pick, these were all the players selected last year and the points they achieved under our scoring system:
Daniel Negreanu 58 Charlie Carrel 19 Todd Brunson 6 Dominik Nitsche 2John Monnette 55 Eric Wasserson 18 Niall Farrell 6 Calvin Anderson 2James Obst 50 Marco Johnson 17 Allen Cunningham 6 Vanessa Selbst 2Ben Yu 47 Phil Hellmuth 14 Joao Vieira 6 Mustapha Kanit 2Chris Ferguson 45 Scott Clements 14 Stephen Chidwick 5 Will Kassouf 2Chris Klodnicki 41 Brandon Shack-Harris 13 Robert Mizrachi 5 Craig McCorkell 1John Racener 41 Justin Bonomo 13 Konstantin Puchkov 5 Brian Hastings 1Max Silver 36 Paul Volpe 12 Ryan D'Angelo 5 Christoph Vogelsang 1Benny Glaser 36 Michael Gathy 12 Allen Kessler 5 Alec Torelli 0Chris Moorman 33 Roland Israelashvili 11 David Peters 4 Bryn Kenney 0Shaun Deeb 32 Mike Gorodinsky 10 Dzmitry Urbanovich 4 Dan Kelly 0Fabrice Soulier 31 Thomas Taylor 10 Tom Middleton 4 Daniel O'Callaghan 0Igor Kurganov 28 Dan Smith 9 Michael Mizrachi 4 David Vamplew 0Max Pescatori 28 Stuart Rutter 9 Martin Finger 4 Eli Elezra 0Ryan Laplante 28 Tom Hall 9 Matt Glantz 4 Erik Seidel 0Adrian Mateos 27 Brock Parker 8 Sergio Aido 4 Fedor Holz 0Olivier Busquet 21 Randy Ohel 8 Park Yu Cheung 3 George Danzer 0Adam Owen 21 Ian Johns 8 Rep Porter 3 Greg Merson 0J C Tran 20 Naoya Kihara 7 Jack Salter 3 Linda Iwaniak 0Chris Bjorin 20 Ismael Bojang 7 Simon Deadman 3 Ludo Geilich 0Mike Leah 19 Loni Harwood 6 Bart Lybaert 3 Mike McDonald 0Jason Mercier 19 Maria Ho 6 Brian Rast 2 Patrick Leonard 0

A steady flow of teams have started to come in, making it another record breaking year..
When we first started a few seasons ago we struggled to get going in all honesty, but seems to have grown in popularity.
Think it's hats of to John and his legendary updates that keeps us coming back.
MintTrav:
Two days to go!
If you don't have your team sorted yet, you really need to get your thinking boots on.
Previous winners:
2014 - Rob Swindells
2015 - Steve Ball
2016 - Luca Cannella
2017 - Barrie Cullen
Who will be added to that list this year? We had very close finishes for the first few years, with the outcome going down to the final event. Then last year we had a runaway winner who had it all sewn up long before the end. Will there be another runaway winner this time? Or will it be like 2015, when six points covered the top six entrants? The time to enter is now!

Great to see some new faces joining in this year.. good luck to everyone.
