The APAT United Kingdom Pub Poker Championship; the fifth event of Season Five, will be held at the G Casino in Blackpool on June 25th & 26th, 2011. 

Following on from the very successful UK Team Championship events of the past three seasons; this event will be open to Pub teams of 8 players, with 50% of the prize pool plus a UKIPT Seat and National Medals going towards individual prizes, while the other 50% of the prize pool, plus the title and Championship Cup will be awarded in the UK Pub Poker Championship event.

Players participating will be required to wear uniform team shirts representing their Pubs, which should be provided by the Pubs / players themselves.

The entry fee per player will be £50, with no registration fee being charged.  The event will consist of twenty-one Pub Teams in total.  Players finishing in the top 50 positions of the Championship will earn points for their Pub team; with 1 point being earned for an exit in 50th place and 50 points being earned for winning the event.

My wife (who owns the Travellers Rest) does not have an 888 account and needs to set one up as she will be included in the team.  I already have an account so will there be a problem with creating a new account from the same address?  Is there any way round this?

I believe that an 888 account is required for all players but the same geographical address should not be an issue (AFAIK).

She will probably need a separate EMAIL address but a simple sign-up with G-Mail/Hotmail/etc. is not problem these days.

Myself and the wee man operate from the same IP on 888, no bother at all and we share the same christian/surname

Not sure why there would be a problem.  Everyone has the same password, and over 50 players have regged okay so far.

Not sure if it is case sensitive ?

I had this down on my calendar to play but only just realised that it is a team / pub event. Is there a Leeds-based pub team I can join? Preferably somewhere near Churwell / Morley but given that we are talking 21 pubs from the UK I realise I can"t be too fussy!

What commitment to actually attending the pub does a team member have to give?

I know the pub/club and the names on the list who hang out in that place.  All very real.  Hence Ger calling it the aquarium in his blog posts every Friday.  Cram packed full of fish.
