Season highlights include:-

New headline partner:  APAT welcomes the UK's largest casino chain, Grosvenor Casinos, as its headline sponsor in Season 10.  The partnership comes on the back of ten years of close cooperation between the parties and demonstrates a continuing increase in poker investment by Grosvenor.

Viva Las Vegas:  To celebrate our tenth year anniversary, APAT is awarding thousands of pounds worth of added and guaranteed Las Vegas packages.  The anniversary packages, which will include a seat at the WSOP Colossus* event in summer 2017 - in addition to travel and accommodation, will be awarded to the following:-

   -   Live Pub Poker League National Champion
   -   APAT live event Vegas satellite winners, with guaranteed seats
   -   APAT online satellite winners, with guaranteed seats

Online:  Grosvenor Poker will host APAT's online Championship events and the winner of each will receive an added value seat at a GUKPT £550 main event.

All*Stars:  Close to 2,000 players have achieved an APAT All*Stars ranking over the past ten years and these players will now be able to opt in and earn the highest level of rewards possible at Grosvenor Poker.

WCOAP:  The extremely popular World Championship of Amateur Poker will be hosted at Grosvenor Casino, Manchester, between April 8th & 17th, 2017.  The festival will feature 18 bracelet events, including the prestigious 8 Game Players Championship, World Amateur Team Championship and World Amateur Poker Championship main event.

Live Stream:  APAT will broadcast live from National Amateur Championship events in Season 10, in addition to providing a live update blog.  The streams will be recorded for future playback on APAT's video channel.  APAT viewers will be able to enjoy a whole new level of engagement with the live stream, with APAT's soon to be released Staker game.
