APAT Season 4 Announcement

edited February 2010 in Poker Chat
Hi guys

As many of you competed and showed interest and railed the Sky Poker team in the APAT team event last month I am sure there is plenty of interest in what APAT has to offer in 2010.

I am aware posting of links to other forums is not allowed but all the details can be found via APAT websites.

It is certainly an interesting read with some great low buy in and registration free tournaments and also a Professional league.

APAT is superbly run and the future of poker.

Dave

    I'm deffo going to get more involved this year, couldn't make it to any events last year, deffo going to give the welsh championships a go next month and see how it goes from there.

    EDIT: Not sure why Sky wernt made the new sponsers, alot of online comps, and with alot of backroom staff involved in both sides, seems like it would make sense to me.

    Hi Dylan,

    This is quite sensitive stuff to be on this Forum, which is financed by Sky Poker.

    My advice would be to go to the APAT Website - everything is clearly laid out there.

    Many of us - especially myself - are immensely proud of APAT, & what we have achieved, but iit's funded in two ways - by volunteer staff, fine, & by Online CardRooms. So there is some "conflict of interest" here, & we have to respect both the APAT Sponsor, & Sky Poker.

    Solar has laid out his OP perfectly, he has noted that it's a little delicate. It's quite awkward for me, too, juggling two hats without compromising either role.

    Hi Sara,

    As Solar suggested, you need to go to the APAT Forum, they will answer all your questions.

    And play your poker on Sky Poker. ;)

    Sky Poker made no attempt to be the new APAT sponsors - the sum of money that APAT secured from it's Sponsor for it's Membership (every single penny of the Sponsorship goes directly to the players) is colossal - well into 6 figures, for what is primarily an offline series.

    There would be no commercial logic in Sky Poker spending that on a mainly Offline Series, they can ( and DO) spend that sort of money more effectively in-house in direct benefit to it's existing players, & the Sky Poker player-base would almost certainly - & correctly - be furious if Sky Poker spent that sort of money on offline Poker.

    No worries at all Dylan.

    It's just a biit of an awkward one, for several of us here, (certainly not just me) who wear more than one hat.
