Setting the disappointment aside from those teams who we just simply couldn"t accommodate within the team limit for this event, we are pleased however to announce that we have negotiated with Grosvenor G Casino Manchester to add 3 extra tables to the event - and although we could select up to 33 teams, we felt it more appropriate to select 31 teams and in association with our sponsors Coral, an online team qualifying event will be held for teams who have not already secured a place to compete against each other for the final, additional 32nd and 33rd team places.
Keeping to the same format as the UK Team Championship, teams of 8 will play in an MTT where the top 100 players will earn points on the following scale:
1st 100 pts; 2nd 99 pts; ..... down to 100th 1 pt
For those team members who have an account associated with our relationship with the sponsors Coral - ie affiliated with APAT/Coral, each team member will be awarded 2 pts immediately at the start of the event which will be in addition to any points won for their team from their event finishing position.
Exact details of the event will be confirmed before 31st Aug at the latest, but to get signed up now then simply download an APAT/Coral account by clicking

Welcome and many thanks to Glenn Lamming for accepting to Captain Team APAT, I"m sure Glenn will post separately inviting members to come forward, but maybe he"d like to consider asking his brother Danny whose recent great run at WSOP can be read about
HERE and Hendon Mob entry
HERE - as this is an open event maybe he"ll come along...
And many thanks to Steve Bradbury for accepting to Captain Team Live Pub Poker League - Steve led the charge for the recent few years of LPPL player success with his WSOP Final Table finish back in 2009, which you can view his winning profile
HEREI will be in touch with Team Captains by 31st Aug latest with the finer details, including how to pay the entry fee of £440 (which is being paid in advance via Team Captains) and if they wish to order the subsidised team polo shirts with the event (and if need be the team) branding/logo and player names.
If any Team Captains have any questions or want to contact me then please do so by email direct to
tom@apat.com or PM me
HERE.
We look forward to welcoming you in Manchester.
