HOW TO GUARANTEE A TEAM PLACE...Teams also have the opportunity to
GUARANTEE A TEAM ENTRY into the UK Team Championship via The Online Premier League that starts on Sunday 3rd September and runs every Sunday for 4 weeks until the final event on Sunday 24th September - teams of 3 (min) or 4 (max) will compete where in addition to the prize fund, the top 3 teams will be GUARANTEED AN INVITE to the UK Team Championship in Blackpool (and hence, pick a further 4 or 5 players to join them...).
Full details
HERE UK TEAM CHAMPIONSHIPTeams with 8 players each will compete for both a team and an individual prize pool in the UK Team Championship, which will be run as an MTT with a buyin of £75+£7 per player.
Entry is therefore £82 per player and this will be required to be paid via an Online Holding Tank by INDIVIDUALS - co-ordinated between myself and all Team Captains - each team member will therefore need to have a Grosvenor Poker online account to enable them to register online to play in the UK Team Championship.
The total prizepool of £75 per player will be paid out on a 50/50 basis to the top 3 teams and the top 18 (tbc) individual players from the MTT.
The top 120 (tbc) players in the MTT will score points for their team with 1st = 120 pts down to 120th = 1 pt.
Teams are to wear their own matching colour team shirts for both days of the event - if desired, EMBROIDERED POLO SHIRTS OR T-SHIRTS are available from APAT at a subsidised cost of £15 per shirt (reduced from £18).
In addition to the APAT logo and UK Team Championship event wording embroidered onto the shirt breast, shirts are also branded with the Team Name plus player name OR nickname (other wording or team logo embroidery is also possible but will cost more depending on requirements).
To order send a PM via APAT Website to myself via

This event has seen huge demand in previous years, and we are expecting similar interest this year. The event has also on occasion previously suffered from "team last minute dropouts", and therefore, as we did previously, we will again maintain a reserve list and require all individual team members to pay the entry fee of £82 via Grosvenor Poker in advance by 9pm on
Friday 5th January 2018.
Any team failing to meet the buyin (all 8 members) deadline will have their team entry offered to teams on the reserve list.
Any team that pays the full buyins (all 8 members) and has a last minute need to drop out will have their entry offered to the next team on the reserve list and whichever team takes up this option will have their buyins used to reimburse the team that had to drop out.
The event structure can be found
HERE.
If you have any questions about the event, feel free to post on this thread or contact me personally by PM on APAT Website via

APAT Player Of The Year Leaderboard Ranking Points will be awarded for this event.
