and to quote an answer on the thread:

"APAT will never be referred to as "Amateur Professional Association & Tour" as "Amateur Poker Association & tour" had been previously.  It will be referred to as APAT or the APAT Poker Association & Tour.  The logo text simply reflects that the organisation will represent amateur and professional players, and offers an association and tour.  When used outside of the industry, the logo will utilise an www.apatpoker.com url"

1. As stated, the tournaments remain excluded to Pros with the one exception of the Masters.

2. If you are implying that this changes for Season 3, absolutely not

So when someone ask's what does APAT stand for...........

I believe only .00000000001 % of the poker community fall into the category of pro's so does that mean sponsored non pro's can enter future APAT's comp's???

It's a player that gets sponsored for a poker tournament that is not a professional poker player  Roll Eyes

Based on previous APAT threads re: who's a pro it was defined as a player who's income is not soley from poker, which is the majority of players even many of the big name players. Alot of sponsored players have "other" income sources so it's a simple question can sponsored players who are not "poker pro's" under the loose defination of what is a pro can they play in a APAT comp.

Some players also get one off comp sponsorship.

My point is that the A first in APAT has always been questionable from the beginning since it was created and has become even more dilluted as time has gone on. A stands for anybody as far as I can see.
