APAT Online UK Team Championship, 6pm. Sunday 13th September 2015. £20 + 2 buy-in per player

This year, APAT are running the Online version of the UK Team Championships before the Live counterpart (being held in January 2016). The online version of the event will also act as a qualifier for the live event. We are expecting to be oversubscribed again for the live event (over 50 teams applied for 33 places last time round), so winning a place in the online version is the best (only) way to guarantee your team"s place*

*Unless you have already qualified.

Please read all the below before submitting a team.

PC users, if you don"t already have the APAT Coral software, please download from here: http://www.apat.com/online/
Mac & Linux users can play using the HTML5 version of the software (more details/APAT link to follow).


The Game
Password: apatmemb
6pm start (no late reg. but a full week of early reg, so please make sure you are registered in time!).  10k starting stack. 12 min blind levels. Password protected. Standard Coral payout (100% of entry fees go to individual prizepool).

The top 3 teams will win an "Invite" (unpaid) to the live APAT UK Team Championship (taking place Jan 30/31st 2016 in lovely Luton) for their team.

We will also be awarding Gold, Silver, Bronze APAT Medals for top 3 individual players.


Rules
Top 100 players will score points with 1 point for 100th placed finisher, and 100 points for 1st place finisher.  In the unlikely event that less than 100 players take part, then the last placed finisher will score 1 point, up to x (where x is the number of runners) points for 1st place.

Tied teams will be separated via number of players who scored points (more players scoring points will decide the higher team. If this is also tied, then the individual higher finishing player will be the tie-breaker).


Eligibility
The APAT Online UK Team Championship is open to any groups of players that would like to form teams. There are no eligibility requirements to be met. Simply form a team of 1-8 players, post the team details (important: see below) and you"re in!

A group can enter any number of teams they like: e.g. Hendon Mob A, Hendon Mob B, Frome Poker Group A, Frome Poker Group B, etc, etc. However, if multiple teams from the same source finish in the qualification spots, then the lowest of those teams will not count for a UK Team Championship Live "invite". e.g. 1st Gambling Network Forum A, 2nd Gambling Network Forum B, 3rd, Hendon Mob A, 4th Frome Poker Group B; then the 3 invitees would be: 1. Gambling Network Forum A, 2. Hendon Mob A, 3. Frome Poker Group B. Rule change: The top 3 teams will receive "invited" entry, regardless of where they come from. All 3 teams could be the same forum. e.g. Frome Poker Group A, Frome Poker Group B, Frome Poker Group C.

How to enter
Simply post your team name, list of players real names and importantly their **accurate** APAT/Coral nicknames* on this thread. Do NOT post their usernames, or they will score zero (0) points. Every time I post this, teams still end up posting the wrong thing. So, please, just take 10 seconds to check you"ve got it right before posting! Thank you!! :)

Each team can consist of a maximum of 8 players (a minimum of 1). Any players not listed as being part of a team at kickoff, will not be able to be added later.

Please specify who the Captain of the team is, and include their APAT Forum name if they aren"t the person making the post.

* "Nickname" is the name that you see on the table when you"re playing. If you"re unsure which is your username and nickname then list both, but we must have the nickname. Thanks!

Hi Paulie, registration on the forum has been open since August 25th. The online game will be in the lobby from Thursday, with registration open then.

With you being the only team registered so far, and 3 live event spaces awarded in the online event, you are so far guaranteed a space in the live event :)

That"s what I understand Bill.

This online event is just to pre-quaify a group...who plays in the "Live" event for that group"s team does not (as I understand) have to be the same as those who played for that team online.

Exactly that, thanks Paulie.

A team can consist of just 1 player, or up to 8. If the team finishes in the top 3 the Captain chooses a team to take part in the live event. They do not have to be the same players.

  • I wish I was as good as someone better than me!
I"ve just read the rules for this and it says that if 2 teams from the same group finish in the top 3, then only one qualifies and 4th also gets in.

This seems unfair IMO as the second team is penalised for playing well, but not quite as good as the first team. All players are APAT players so why shouldn"t they qualify.

Can we look at this please?
