[avongirl]

From APAT.com June 14, London: The Amateur Poker Association & Tour (APAT) today announced details for Season Seven of it’s critically acclaimed tour for recreational players. Headline developments included: • A total of 32 Championship events to be held in the UK, Ireland, Europe and the USA. • The launch of poker’s first dedicated Cash Tour, with 7 stops across the UK. • The launch of the UK Championship of Amateur Poker, a 7 event festival taking place in late August. • APAT’s European Championship of Amateur Poker (ECOAP) will open the Prague Poker Festival in December. • An extended 14 event World Championship of Amateur Poker (WCOAP), to be held over two months and three casinos – subject to final confirmation. • A weekly schedule of over 200 local tournaments, available through APAT’s acquisition of the Live Pub Poker League. The core tour will continue with visits to Coventry, Cardiff, Nottingham, Glasgow, Stoke, Newcastle and London. Dublin returns as a flyaway destination, alongside a debut appearance for APAT in Prague and a return to Caesars Palace in Las Vegas. The opening leg of Season Seven; the APAT Masters, took place on the pitch of Wembley Stadium earlier this month. APAT will visit the Czech Republic for the first time, as the opening event of the prestigious Prague Poker Festival, alongside marquee poker brand the World Poker Tour. Two APAT events will run there – the 16 country European Amateur Team Championship and the 200 runner European Amateur Poker Championship (individual). In addition, APAT will roll out Cash Tour, a concept that introduces a hybrid cash and tournament format that positively engaged amateur players and seasoned pros when trialled in season six. Cash Tour will feature 7 events, each lasting five hours and taking place on a Friday night. Concept details can be found at www.apat.com. Details of the extended 15 event World Championship of Amateur Poker (WCOAP) are still subject to change, but the proposed schedule sees the return of the 10 events which ran at DTD in April 2013, and the addition of Shootout, 2 Game Mixed, Omaha 8 and Season Seven Champion of Champions events – the latter open only to APAT National Champions. The hugely popular APAT Awards will also be presented during the WCOAP. APAT recently announced the acquisition of the Live Pub Poker League, and APAT’s Season Seven will also feature the LPPL’s Players Championship and the multi-event Festival of Pub Poker, which takes place over several days at Pontins in Southport. APAT members can avail of over 200 tournaments per week in pubs and clubs nationwide through the Live Pub Poker League, while further local and home initiatives are being developed for release during the season. The winner of each of APAT’s National Amateur Championship events will win an added seat to the WCOAP main event – where the winner will receive the trip of a lifetime to Las Vegas during the next WSOP. They will be accompanied to Las Vegas by the winner of the Season Seven Champion of Champions event and the winner of the combined Live and Online Rankings. The full schedule and discussion can be found on the APAT Forum
