My advice to the Luton lot would be to form the BLPC, create a forum and bingo you are all set.
It"s not quite that simple...Larry Murphy"s anyone!?
The BCPC is an interesting one....they don"t actually have a forum but get a team in anyway.
It"s all about an ESTABLISHED group independent of APAT (although there will be overlap, of course) that hasn"t been formed JUST to get a team into this event.
Or at least that"s the way it"s worked in previous years...Des/Tighty might have other plans this year!
I"m not saying form the BLPC and a forum just to get into the APAT comp.
I meant that there is a strong poker community in Luton that is well established, but it is a very informal. By putting a bit more formality to everything then I can"t think there would be too much objection to them having a team in the APAT comp.
As for the BCPC, again, can"t think of any reason why they would not be considered. True they don"t have a forum, but having a forum is not one of the criteria for selection...is it?
