Is Aberdeen further north than Estonia?

Are there 50 players who know how to play draw?

Good work Des (and everyone else involved). Looks like a good year ahead.
Hopefully we can do Betfair justice.

It"s more a question of whether there are five dealers who know how to spin the cards!  We will have detailed discussions with the casinos over the season with regards the mixed events, but it would be interesting to see this one go the distance.

Happy to wait for more announcements but feel free to answer if you want.

Which events will be assigned ranking points? medals etc.?

Will the National Leagues be the same format as last season?

Will there be online qualifiers for all the Amateur Championships and Professional League events?


Full ranking points (18) to multi day events and half ranking points to side events in Amateur Championship.  All events will award medals.

Full Ranking points (18) in Professional League and medals.

9 Ranking points available in Specialist Series, but will not award medals.

Full Ranking points in Online main events and half in Omaha Championships.  Both will award medals.

National League will run in same format, but we"ll have two 10 match leagues as opposed to 1 20 match league.  Prize structure to be finalised as we don"t have an 8 seat GUKPT budget for this, but we do have around £5k to allocate.

Qualifiers - yes, same as S3 - Monday $20, Tuesday $10, Weds $5 rebuy + $50 Pro League satellite.  Thursday clickfest at 9pm.  Same structures on all events.








Is specialist series a separate ranking league or do they go towards National Amateur rankings?

so 4 sets of rankings?

National rankings (live)
National rankings (online)
Professional league
National online league x 3 - twice

Betfair are putting a press release out tomorrow morning.  They are very pleased with this relationship; obviously APAT is high profile when compared with the World Series of Poker Europe.  ;D

They will be putting up an APAT landing page, APAT promotional page, emailing all of their UK players next week and taking branded APAT ads out in the poker press.  They will be extremely supportive.

Naturally we didn"t want any of that to happen until we"d spoken to you all first.

Looks like there"s only 2 set of rankings, with the live and online ones being merged.

edit: no... actually it looks like rankings are effectively being removed, if only tournament winners qualify for the champions event. Clarification please?

Live and Online rankings continue separately with the winner of each receiving a GUKPT seat and entry to the Champions Final, alongside the National Champions.
