I'm like Switzerland. Neutral at all times (however without the Geneva bank accounts and covered in snow)

join then, £10 please
I believe you came into a bit of cash recently that might help.....
Seriously folks, I know its a never ending thread but we did need to post to clarify a lot of the issues that we got in feedback in various places. tikay did this yesterday on pages, er..., 55 and 56. Now we've done that there will no doubt be clarifications needed about the clarifications and if so fine. Anything that helps APAT to get it right before the first event, for the first event and then onwards.

Any news on if the structure has been altered yet? Last thing I remember on the subject was that it was going to be looked at again/discussed (to see if the 'missing level' was going to be added), unless I've missed the reply and if so can someone point me to the post.
As to someone winning the first on-line event with a very nice income from poker previously, I'm not really that bothered to be honest. Previous winnings don't make him a pro IMO, it simply makes him a talented amateur. Do we really want to be playing with novices only? I'd rather be playing with people that at least know what they're doing lol.

No you haven't missed a post, as we have not changed it as of now. I would reiterate though that there is a "missing" 800-1600 level but there is a 500-1000 level added in compared to a normal structure, so its swings and roundabouts
(Cue next discussion....

I agree with the approach they've taken on the amateur thing. Its not something that they can easily enforce anyway. Best way to enforce it on the live events is via clashing with a big event elsewhere. Most of the pros will choose to play that, if only to avoid the question "why is he/she playing a £75 comp when so and so event is on?"
Perhaps we should have a 'Busto' child board to perpetuate rumours of this type!

I wasn't suggesting the guy who won the first online comp was a professional and at no point stated only novices should play. What I did do is ask could some more family names enter as they can can to be in a similar position as the first online winner. The given classification of who does and does not qualify has no measurable defining point. This is understandable as I don't think it is possible to have a blanket defination and agree entry should largely at the discreation of the APAT. I have no problems with this and accept that they can run there association as they wish to clarify.
All I have done is to suggest some names and asked if they also qualify for the amatuer stream of the APAT as they are in a similar position as the first online winner. I understand Tony Bloom merely plays the occassional game and has a job outside of poker. I just think it might be kind of funny if Tony Bloom (former Aussie millionaire champion) was to win the title of amateur champion.
