APAT UK Team Championship - January 2011
TightEnd:
People are being ever so slightly precious here, if I may be controversial.
There"s no slight intended to any potential team, about 5 teams have said that they haven"t been included in the list, which in each case is an oversight and no more than that
I hope this is now accurate. Entries remain open

Debs I suggest you and your proposed team start a thread on the Women"s Poker Forum; having discussed with their admin, and then you are operating within the APAT guidelines for submitting a team.
I would be surprised if you have a number of international players who want to come and play, but you may get other UK ladies outside of your immediate group, who do apply to be part of your team. That"s good, as it promotes APAT to new players and ultimately we"re here to give a very good experience for a low buy in to everyone. Ultimately it will be your decision as team captain as to who plays in the Women In Poker team.
There is no guarantee whatsoever that this approach will get you through, however it would be a legitimate application and that means you"re in with a shot.
Larry Murphy"s on the other hand, is extremely unlikely to get through based on current guidelines.

good luck in your thankless task of choosing from an ever increasing list and then handling the next debate ;)

Without meaning to sound patronising,some women do feel intimidated playing poker in a mainly male dominated enviroment and a chance to play in a team with other ladies maybe an ideal chance to encourage them to attend more apat events in the future.Not only those selected but others who may watch live updates etc.We all know apat is very female friendly and this could be a chance to show that.

not sure how that would apply here. yes there are some women who may feel intimidated by a mainly male environment (I know I wouldn"t have wanted to go and play poker on my own when i first started out), but this event won"t be any different from many others in that regard, and the women looking to be on the team are all experienced players afaik.
Women"s only tournaments have a part to play here for the nervous newbie, and it"s one of the reasons I don"t have a problem with them, although I know quite a few do.
