Following discussions with our headline partner yesterday, it looks like we will be coordinating an announcement of Season 4 on Wednesday. 

Satellite qualifying will start for the first Amateur Championship the following Monday and that will be followed by the first Online Championship on the Saturday.

The sponsor plans to put £1,000 behind the bar at the first live event and with three APAT events going on, an exciting launch seems guaranteed.

We"re nearly there!

Curiously different take on it from you guys, is it an Anglo Scots thing. :P
Note to self. Don"t miss first event, oh and, behave at first event ;D

Great news Des, look forward to full disclosure. Gonna miss the mystique though.

Brian,

I will guarantee you now that every APAT event in season 4 will clash with a poker event being played somewhere else.   ;)

The poker calendar in the UK has grown dramatically in the past 12 months with the new Stars tour, an expanded GUKPT, DTD running more monthly events, etc, etc.

It"s inevitable that this is going to happen.  It"s enough of a job, making sure the APAT live events don"t clash, let alone the APAT online games.

I just hope for all of the Walsall team playing in the GUKPT that you can"t play the APAT event, because that means you are all still in on Day 2, and that would be great for everyone.

You"ve got to look at the positive Brian, you"ve all been bought into a GUKPT main event due to your excellent performances in season 3. There"s a lot of APAT players that have not yet had that opportunity.  Clashes are unfortunate, but will happen.

Good luck guys.
