Subsequently there were many people posting on this thread who stated that they would not be happy with known "faces" such as myself playing in these events.
I know I was one of the people that said I would not be happy if the live events, which I understand are primarily aimed to encourage the grassroots players to play live, involved regular faces on the live festival scene just because they wanted to play in the APAT events just because they sounded like fun. I dared to suggest a cut off point but clearly this upset some people but then again whatever cut off point is decided upon will upset some people. Personally Karabiner I would say you should be allowed to play as your not I believe a regular festival player and only play small stakes poker. The people I don't believe should be playing in the APAT's live events are those familar names which appear at a numourous festival events. Must say I did laugh when someone posted that some people just want it to involve "untalented" players. I've not read anybody suggest that but then again it is fairly common for some members of blonde to make things up to suit their arguement as opposed to addressing actual views expressed. Like IMF has stated I shall wait to here what the classification the APAT uses becauses if it is open to all their is not much point in me joining. Not because I fear playing against anybobdy as I have played already played against several high profile players but with little or no chance of playing in the live events I am left with the decision do I join to play in the online events and to have a voice in the APATS defining of a better poker environment ie rules, structures, etc, etc. As a result of the online comps being held on a Saturday, a regular night out for the diceman and in the knowledge that the APAT will acheive it's goals with or without my membership I shall keep my £10 for a few extra pints as membership does not offer me anything. Additionally I still believe with all the live and online competition points being included to find the ultimate amateur player I believe it has more to do with luck than skill as some people may get to play more live events or alternatively the winner will be Mr Billy "no mates" who never goes out on a Saturday night. |

I disagree with the winner winning the prize due to luck rather than skill and i think you'll find that the online winner will be Mr Monkey "no mates" - not Mr Billy..........  I haven't paid the full subscription - only the online version as thanks to their being 26 online tourneys against the 7 live (and of those 7 live there wont be many players getting chance to play more than 2 live events) i think the overall points winner will come from someone who plays predominantly online. And seeing as how the tournaments are being played on "home" territory in my back yard it would be rude not to join in!! |

I am assuming you have joined apat and registered an interest in the first tournament If so you will be entered into an independently scrutineered ballot for the 120 places and have 5 days from once you are informed by email you are in to pay or else the seat goes to a reserve tikay will post everything that has been decided if he ever stops off the poker circuit! |
