Okay, what we can say this evening is the following:-
- APAT will have a new headline partner in Season 5, but unfortunately due to the unavailability of some code, we can"t say who it is yet. They will be named in the official release tomorrow.
- We will post the full schedule for the season. Dates, cities etc. We are going to make a lot more of promoting each new Amateur Championship event this season, so we"re not going to post Casinos and sat dates etc at this point.
- We can confirm that there will be 39 added packages for members this year and we"re switching to UKIPT seats, of which there will be 29 available to be won. Before anyone asks...APAT is not being sponsored by the creator of the UKIPT.
- We are not going to repeat the £20k sponsorship initiatives as they didn"t drive membership or player numbers.
- We are not going to repeat the Professional League this season as it didn"t capture the imagination of the players and the UKIPT is effectively growing in that segment.
- We will be repeating the Specialist Series.
- We will be repeating the Online Championship series with Omaha events alongside the main events.
- We will be breaking the National League into two divisions of twelve clubs each.
Okay, here is the Amateur Championship schedule....
