APAT 10th Anniversary Season - Discussion Thread

[Scousebill]

Not often I can put a brag post up but here goes.
Having previously won a Vegas trip thanks to APAT I will certainly be trying to get another one. The experience of a freebie is second to none, GTD entry to Colossus also, amazing...
The schedule has been very good to me, most of the dates fall on my weekends off and the WCOAP being in Manchester means no booking expensive hotels if I don"t want to as only 30-40 minutes down the motorway from Liverpool.

People keep talking about no side events.....have I missed something?
Where is this stated.....and where is the Online schedule?

AWESOME added value guys....absolutely amazing.

Brian... the usual Sunday events are being replaced by

Saturday

Sunday
12:00-15:00 - Vegas STTs "on the hour on demand" (expected duration 60-90 mins) 8-handed Single Table Satellite £10+£1 2k stack 10 min clock - winner gets entry into the Sunday "APAT Vegas 2017" where 1 Vegas 2017 Package is GUARANTEED.

15:00 - APAT Vegas 2017 NLHE (Max 1 Rebuy OR 1 Add On £75 for 10k to first break) £75+£7 with 10k chips on a 40/30/20 min clock (40 min to first break/30 min to second break/20 min thereafter) - same structure as Main Event with late entry to and including first break, which will be after Level 4.  No deals facilitated.  Buyins retained for "APAT 10th Anniversary Vegas 2017 Packages" for every £1500 - money for lesser amounts paid out - 1 package GUARANTEED.

This wasn"t in the main announcement, but it"s mentioned in the Newcastle briefing.

My understanding is that this will be standard for the UK legs for S10. Hopefully, normal service will be resumed next year.

1. congrats to carl and emma.
2. season looks great with events spread all over uk.
3.-barred from newcastle g.
4. - at mo can only play ireland. however if i can get a few mondays covered, wales, scotland, uk, euro and worlds could be on. hate flying (can force myself to do short flights) so no interest in usa

This is awesome. Really pleased about so many opportunities to win a trip to Vegas. Thanks to the APAT team for putting in all your hard work as ever. To secure sponsorship with Grosvenor is amazing and this will definitely mean that I will play more of the online tournaments, just to try and bag a seat at the GUKPT.
Well done guys!!

Congrats to Carl and Emma. I sincerely hope I"m there to see you guys tie the knot!!

Hmmm, not sure how this will work if I win multiple Vegas packages.

On a serious note, is it possible to win more than one?
If you are lucky enough to win a package is there any incentive to try for another (to give a friend for example)? or would it be wasted?

We have a Vegas 2017 post which covers the flexibility for those who win a package...

be it the first or multiple this flexibility will remain...

Not like the first one is a holiday...plus after missing a couple of years and sorting my life out I was looking forward to hitting APAT hard and playing a lot of the events.
