Pokerplayer magazine.
12 -WHAT ARE YOUR THOUGHTS ABOUT APAT TOURNAMENTS, STANDARD OF PLAY AND STRUCTURE?
The nationals are excellent, nice big starting stack and long blind structure lets you settle in and get to know your opponents. The standard of play is very high, as you would expect. The regionals are also excellent but I think we could do with a slightly bigger starting stack. I played in the Pokerplayer Championship in Bolton and that had a 5000 starting stack with 25 min blinds, and it worked very well.

Most of this years regionals and 1 national. The most memorable part was the good spirit and friendly atmosphere at all the events.
