APAT are pleased to confirm the details for the United Kingdom Team Poker Championship to be held at the G Casino, Luton on the weekend of January 26 & 27, 2013.


The event will consist of a 200 runner MTT over the usual APAT Two Day Deepstack structure.  25 teams of 8 players will compete for both a team and individual prizepool.

Entry will be £400+£40 per team, with half the prizepool being paid out to the top three teams and the other half being paiid out to the top 20 individuals.

The top 100 players will score points for their team (1st=100pts, 100th=1pt).

Teams are expected to provide matching team shirts for the weekend for what will be a highlight on the APAT calendar.


APAT are currently inviting interested Poker Forums, Clubs & Groups to register their interest in entering a team into this event.

Closing date to register interest is Friday 21st December 2012, with APAT looking to announce the succesful teams shortly afterwards.

This event has seen huge demand in previous years, and we would be expecting a similar amount of interest this time around.


To register your interest, please send a personal message with any relevant details about your poker forum, group or club including any links to websites/facebook etc  by clicking here.


If you have any general questions about the event, feel free to post on this thread.

Newcastle Poker Forum will attend again if chosen. Can submit 2 teams if necessary

Maybe revert back to 20 teams of 10 after last years disappointment of teams not turning up after being chosen

I like the idea of 20 teams of 10.

2000 runners, nowhere in the country that could fit it in though. Oh well Vegas it is then :)

Random groups would be way down the selection list.

The usual criteria is existing poker forums/clubs with an online presence, ideally with there own website, but a well used Facebook group would also be considered.

Groups setup for the sole intention of entering this event will not be considered.

It"s difficult to make it black and white, so we do use a bit of flexibility to ensure we get a good mix of teams involved.

my point was by reducing teams to 20 x 10 players like it used to be makes it more likely that teams wont just not turn up like last year. It also makes the competition more select and gives it added prestige IMO
