APAT UK Team Championship - Live Update - Day One

[APAT]

Join us at the G Casino in Blackpool for live updates and video coverage of the UK Team Championship, featuring teams drawn from 20 poker communities across the United Kingdom.  Play will start at 2.30pm on Sunday.

The top fifty points finishers will win points towards the Team Championship, with the top three teams winning prize money.  The top nineteen players will also win prize money for the individual event.

[APAT]

Prize money will be awarded as follows:

Team Championship:

1st - £2,500 and the engraved UK Team Championship Cup.

The owner of the winning team will also receive an added prize of £1,000.

2nd - £1,500.

3rd - £1,000.

APAT recommends that each team prize is split equally amongst competing team members.  However, this is ultimately the decision of each team and where a team chooses to agree a different structure, it is essential that agreement is reached by all members of the team prior to the event starting.

Individual Championship:

1st - £1,250 and Gold Medal and GUKPT Package.

The Grosvenor UK Poker Tour package comprises an expenses paid entry to a GUKPT event.  The GUKPT package is worth in the region of $3,000.

2nd - £750 and Silver Medal.

3rd - £500 and Bronze Medal.

4th to 9th - £250 each.

10th to 19th - £100 each.
