Cantona7..although it"s an online league, I think the idea is that you join the regional club which is geographically closest to you.  As a Yoonited fan I assume you"re from Plymouth, so it"ll better for you if you join their club as I think the plan is to progress to a live league in season 4.

Welcome to APAT.  As has been said, the standard of play ranges from absolute beginner to some players who are very decent.  Then there are bulk of players (like me) who are somewhere in between.

One thing that is certain is that you won"t find friendlier tournaments, or an atmosphere as welcoming and enjoyable as at an APAT event.

Even if you are a dirty manc supporter ;).

Welcome Cantona,
This is simply a fantastic place to learn. I joined last year in mid season 2 and managed to qualify for a national event in Ireland. I was petrified and was lucky enough to go with a few mates who also won a seats.

This was going to be my first ever Live (BIG) tourney and i was kacking it.

I went and i had a ball. The people were FANTASTIC as was the venue/Structure/Level.

I ended up finishing 25th of 180ish and played the best poker i have ever played. I felt like a pro in a Pro enviroment.

I have made many friends at these events and still keep in touch via this forum.

My single messege to anybody just joining is:

You won"t meet a better bunch of like minded Poker People and get the chance to play poker at every level...

I should have maybe joined the forum in May which is generally when you would be able to welcome me as a supporter of the team top of the league  ;D

Shame the interenet was not really around for the masses in May 1990 if you know what I mean.

Anyway the poker!! I am definitely looking to register for this tournament in Walsall, any idea how many seats are available?

There should be 200 available with alternates also.

Qualifiers are online with Blue Sq on the 12th, 13th, 14th of January and the remaining seats will then be sold via the homepage of www.apat.com at 9pm on Thursday 15th January.

Thanks for that.

Also how quickly do the seats generaly get snapped up? Is it a case of going on the site as soon as they are released?

I realise the tournament is over 2 days but I would be interested to know the following:

How far does the money ladder down
Prize money for 1st 2nd and 3rd
Starting stack
Blind frequency

TIA

The structure for season 3 can be found here http://www.apat.com/structure.php

Starting stack is always 10,000

Payout can vary depending on numbers, but is usually top 10% of field. With Walsall being a 200 runner event then the top 20 will get paid.

1st should get around £3500, 2nd around £2500, 3rd around £1500 - just approximates, so don"t hold me to those values  ;D
