Hmm. When I put my pokerstars ID in I still get the 10quid fee (good) but what if I want online only

This is for the association (£10 fee unless you have the promo code)

This is for the online series (£5 only)

Just a side note shouldnt the casino's and staff be involved in some way? Is there facilities for casino's/cardrooms to join?

Even on a consultation basis?

Hi Richard,

There will be an important dialogue to have with the casino groups, and at this stage it would seem sensible to negotiate as a separate entity.  With the backing of a serious number of players we can enter a dialogue with a meaningful voice.  

Casino workers would be very welcome to join the APAT, subject to the T & Cs of the BCA.

In all fairness then Mel

The absense of 800/1600 makes it ridiculous

As Flushy said  " thought it was a typo"

So each to their own I suppose, if I was playing myself (which I can't so I am impartial) I would not want such a jump even if I was chip leader, seems that if you haven't got average chips by that stage you just gotta shove em in, or is it an attempt to whittle down the field in that session?

The blinds
400/800
500/1000   (this level is not normal in most uk comps)  and normally it jumps straight to
600/1200   <---------  

So an added level in for more creative play.

Its only after 6 hours and 40mins do the blinds go from 600/1200 to 1000/2000

Much better to get rid of that one and reinstate the 800/1600 then?
800 is a huge raise in blinds (what 80% increase?) at any stage of a comp.
