Congrats with this and good luck!

I like that Apat are introducing more amateurs to the scene. I think the initial concept of Apat was to bring newbies out from behind the keyboard and into casinos to play live. I am sure the thoughts behind it were that as players improved they would move on and make room for newer players... problem is that we like it here too much and loads of us have stuck around :)

I noticed that there are not too many venues in the South West. How exactly do LPPL plan to "grow"?

Also where are the online leagues played? I cant see anything in the Apat poker lobby. Not much chance of me playing at 9am on a Sunday morning though lol.

Hiya Tom and welcome to Apat btw :)

Hi Suzanne - thanks for your comments.

We at LPPL are committed to introducing our members to APAT - and of course we hope to have enough of substance to warrant APAT members playing more live "APAT Local" games - wherever you may be. We have already had enquiries to set games up - we WILL accomodate all members and be highly proactive in providing you scope to play.

If we have no local venue to you, please feel free to drop me a line advising where you are - I will be happy to liaise with you/your local venues and can offer them plenty of incentive to hold APAT Local games - and other venues in the vicinity to support them, with is how we have traditionally gained the success we have.

Our online game for League points is on the APAT Online platform - it can be located in the "Special" section of games - we know 9am on a Sunday isnt an ideal time to be point hawking, but we are committed to supporting our live venues so try, as much as possible, to not "clash" with Live Game and Area Final times.

However, we will be bringing a full package of online games and tournaments that we trust will apeal to both "sets" of members - with the view to breaking the ice, establishing a little banter and social fun, as well as meeting new people via online play that we trust will soon you"ll be meeting at various Live events.

If there are any questions about LPPL specific that i can help anyone with, please feel free to ask.

In the meantime, look forward to getting to know you all better and hopefully start to see some natural cross support between us all.

I will also be at the APAT Masters event officiating, so look forward to meeting any attendees there.
