Title: Professional Rankings
Post by: APAT on January 21, 2009, 21:58:14 PM
APAT will be compiling a Rankings leaderboard for tournaments that take place in the United Kingdom, with a buy in of £500 or more, that does not specifically exclude any players.

Well... it doesn"t seem to have any relevance to an amateur poker association (I did read that the "Professional" bit had been dropped from APAT didn"t I?) and a European list already exists - http://www.pokerineurope.com/europeanrankings/index.php

APAT has a number of professional members and we will continue to encourage others to join.  Our focus will be on providing a pro rankings leaderboard (ie, non exclusive), solely calculated from UK based events, initially with a buy in of £500 and above.
