The Online Team Series give all APAT players the chance to get together with friends and poker buddies to pit their wits against the best amateur poker teams out there.
Teams consist of four players that then compete in a series of NLHE Multi Table Freezeout tournaments with the top 50% of the field picking up points towards their own teams total.
APAT will run a leaderboard so that all players can keep track of their teams position and also keep an eye on their closest rivals. For the Autumn 2016 running of the Online Team Series, the top three teams will be invited to enter a team into the Season 10 APAT UK Team Championship.
This is always one of the most popular live events on the APAT calendar. Entries are highly sought after each season and the Online Team Series gives everyone the chance to guarantee a team into heading to Blackpool on the weekend of the 11th & 12th March 2017.
SCHEDULEThe Autumn 2016 Online Team Series will run across four Sundays. Two prior to the Irish (Dublin) live (30th & 31st October) and online (6th November) events, and two after.

DOUBLE POINTS All tournaments are £11 buyin with 6 levels (60 mins) of late registration
5k Starting stacks with 10 minute levels
SCORINGThe top 50% of the field (rounded up for an odd number of runners) will collect points with the first of those to exit collecting 1pt and the winner collecting the maximum pts for that tournament.
Team points are the total of the 3 highest finishers in any one team. These are then adjusted by the Team Multiplier to calculate the final Team Points for that tournament.
The Team Multiplier for each team is based on the number of players in each individual team that finish in the points positions :- 1 Player = 1x, 2 Players = 1.2x, 3 Players = 1.3x
All points for Event #4 are doubled
In the event of a tie amongst teams on the leaderboard, the team with the higher number of individual players in the points across all events will be deemed the higher finishing team. If this is equal, then the team with the player who collected the highest individual points in all events across the series will be deemed the higher finishing team.
PAYOUTSAll prize pools for each event will be paid out as standard following the Grosvenor Poker Online payout structures.
The top three teams on the leaderboard at the end of Event #4 will receive an invite to enter a team of 8 players into the APAT UK Team Poker Championship to be held at the G Casino, Blackpool on the weekend of the 11th & 12th Match 2017. This is a guaranteed invite only. Teams will be liable for their own buyin, accommodation and travel expenses incurred during the weekend of the live team event.
