I am a newbie member and have a couple of questions...

How many entrants are normally allowed into these tourns...? Do they just apply for APAT Members...? Also does BlueSquare then record all the points accumulated from APAT members...?

I will hopefully download all the relevant bluesquare applications as im just used to sky poker at the moment... hopefully see you all on the final table...!

Blue Square have a max of 500 for these tournaments, but the online games from season 2 were getting between 60-150 runners depending on dates etc.

Anyone with a Blue Square account is automatically an APAT member as part of the sponsorship deal, so everyone that plays is entitled to earn points towards the mini league (whether they realise it or not).

We will keep a tally of players and points scored and post an updated league table after each event on the forum.

The aim of this series is to have a bit of fun and give all APATers the chance to play online against each other in what is usually great games with good banter.

Hopefully see you at the tables.

It"s completely open as far as I"m aware. We had 160+ players in Online games in S2, some only had around 60.

There"s no passwords on them so anyone can play. By playing, you become an APAT member. Around 90% of players will have found our about it through the Forum here and will play more than 1 event.

Through the members posting screenshots, we can usually do this ourselves. We don"t post anything officially until we have confirmation of all results from BlueSq.

Well technically speaking they are both winners.  ;D

On a serious note, it is more likely that we will have a tie involving two players on the same points scored made up of different finishes.  In that case it will be done on the player that has the higher finishes.

Still seriously unhappy with Bluesquare after the way they dealt with (or more to the point didn"t) a sports betting complaint, I even wrote to the customer service director and received no response at all when complaining about the service I"d received to that point.

I will reluctantly use Bluesquare for APAT events but not sure I"ll participate in the close season events now although the format looks good.
Often the correct decision is the hardest to reach

I"ll be playing in all the Thursday events other than the first one as I don"t get paid until Friday and need to reload the BSQ account. Looking forward to this!
