As the league now been scrapped?  

[Des]

Nope, the league will have its own separate announcement Wayne.

[Zozzy]

Would it be better to uninstall Grosvenor Poker from my PC and then install it again via the APAT link? With the previous online poker site there was an APAT logo in the header, maybe this had private tournaments not seen on the standard platform.

[Scousebill]

Zozzy....
I asked that myself last night. Tom replied that it would be better to download Grosvenor via the link as in the future we are likely to be having some APAT only promotions.
When we get our Vegas tokens shall we have a % of each other....?  

[Scousebill]

Problem....
I will have to talk to support as it will not let me register another Grosvenor account because of my e-mail already being in use. I deleted my original account then tried to register another one using the link on here somewhere.
I have had to reload the Grosvenor Poker again and it already has an APAT tab on it but not a logo like Coral had.
What date do the sats start as at the moment the APAT tab is empty...
I"m gagging at the bit wanting to get on the road to winning a Vegas trip...

[Scousebill]

Are these games in the lobby yet.....?

I already had grovenoer downloaded but thought best to uninstall and do it from link but it download   can we find and enter tourney if  I redownload without  apat    and if so how do you find the games  thanx

[Chipaccrual]

After some initial discussions with the online team at Grosvenor Casinos, we have decided to make a few minor alterations to the online announcement which has now been amended in the op.

Summary of changes

• We have amended the early steps of the satellites structure so that it is in line with the early stages of the Grosvenor Live satellites.  Step 1 will now be a £0.24+0.01, Step 2 a £4.70+0.30 and Step 3 a £28+£2.  This will mean more early satellites will be available every day giving players better flexibility and choice, whilst also reducing the fee % for the first 3 step levels.  You will also now be able to satellite into an APAT National Event or even a Vegas trip from just 25p


• We have adjusted the Online National Main Event buyins to £28+£2.  This means you will be able to use a Step 3 ticket to play these events and be in with a chance of bagging the £550 GUKPT added value seat for each winner with an increased prize pool whilst retaining just the £2 reg fee


• We have adjusted the Online side events buyins to £4.70+0.30.  This is in line with the Step 2 tickets available via the satellite structure and keeps the total buyin for playing the online Main Event and Side Event similar to previous seasons

Hi Leigh, does this mean the step tokens are interchangeable between live events?

They"ll be interchangeable up to step 3, so you can play any Step 1 and 2 you like.  At Step 3 you will need to decide whether you are playing the APAT route, GUKPT route or 25/25 route.

Obviously there"s only one choice there

An APAT National Seat or even a Vegas Package from a 25p satellite, we"ve never offered a satellite entry at that level before.

Would love to see players work their way up from 25p to a big cash at an APAT event or joining us in Vegas.  That would be an awesome story.

[MintTrav]

6pm starts again for Online Mains. Really think you should rethink that.
Do people really want to spend six hours playing a £28 tournament?

[LombBomb]

Will there be still be sats for the £82/£110 APAT National Events?
