In case you're wondering, it stands for Amateur Poker Association & Tour :-)
Poker Player magasine is one of the sponsors so of course they pointed me to the APAT web site (see http://www.apat.com/) It's only a fiver to join up, so I did - just for the heck of it really... but their stated aim is to :-
aspires to represent the interests of all non professional players in the UK. The APAT will engage government and industry bodies to enhance the player experience; with standardisation of rules, player friendly structures and the provision of a clear communication channel for player feedback at the top of our agenda.
More importantly they are running both online and Live tournaments with the possibility to win a trophy, so sounded like fun to me :-)
Unfortunately the online tournaments start at 9pm on a Saturday (8pm GMT), which is going to be a little tricky for me but hope to attend one or two of the live tournaments in the year to get some benefit of joining.
Will let you guys know of any developments and/or benefits of being a member as and when
For now, I need to work out if and how to get to Birmingham for the weekend of 23rd-24th September for the inaugural tournament !!
