Hello all I am new to the site
« on: January 03, 2009, 10:41:52 AM »
Mate of mine recommended me to this site, I was wondering if anybody has played any of the live events as I was thinking of registering for Walsall in Feb. I would be interested to get some information on the general standard at the events, I have played regularly online for 2 years, had a couple of successful trips to my local casino in Manchester and have won 3 deep stack tournaments on the bounce in my local pub. I am really keen to test myself at a higher level so any feedback would be great.

TIA.

Welcome to the friendly community that is APAT.

If you"re wanting to take your game to the next level and beyond then, imho, APAT is where you need to be.

The standard at the nationals is obviously a mixed one, it being for amateur players, but generally good through to excellent - a great place to learn and improve, and pick up tips and strategies.

Try and get yourself to Walsall, you"ll not regret it.

Yeh thanks for that mate, I will more than likely register for Walsall, probably take my 19 year old son down with me who I can cheer on after I have been knocked out!!

I see you support Bradford, I miss the days of when you were in the Prem, had a few great curry"s at Akbars on Leeds Road.

Hi Cantona7 welcome to APAT.

To get a feel for the general goings on at APAT National Events, we have a section where you can view the recent live updates of Nationals played in 2008.  They make for interesting reading and will also give you, not only a feel for the APAT spirit, but see what happens during them.

The Link is HERE, so pop on over and have a wee read when you have time.  There are also several other areas of the forum, which will give you lots of info on what APAT is all about.

Do hope to see you in Walsall, good luck!

Ah, the prem [wipes tear from eyes], memories I shall cherish  :D  To be honest, we had an extra season up there that we should never have had - Wimbledon going into freefall from the middle of March onwards helped our cause enormously  :D  Unfortunately, normal service was resumed the following season.....

As for the curries, with the competition being quite fierce, it"s very difficult to get a bad curry in Bradford, but Akbars is a top spot.

Do I need to register with Blue Square before I can sign for Manchester?

You will need to register with Blue Square. Have a read of the info via the links below before signing up via the link that Rob (Manchester Club Captain) posted.

There"s information that you"ll need to look at here: http://www.apat.com/forum/index.php?topic=2331.0

...and here: http://www.apat.com/forum/index.php?topic=2421.0

If you"re interested, then sign up and play - no pressure to play every leg, so don"t let the schedule put you off.
