runadrum Posted August 4, 2007 Share Posted August 4, 2007 Re: Apat Season 2 Moving to Blue Square just one part of the new structure :- * APAT Forum Challenge The APAT Forum Challenge is a new event with entry available via poker forums across the UK and Europe. Played over two days to an APAT Championship structure, this event will crown the Champion Community of 2008. The most successful forum will win an added cash prize, while the winning player will receive an expenses paid entry to a televised Grosvenor UK Poker Tour main event. When I first read it I assumed it would be an online tournament but as it is over two days I'm not sure. :ok I've thought about it - it must be a live tournament, presumably with a limited number of seats available for each forum.
