[teaulc]

The final leg of the APAT Regional Championship will be played live at fourteen casinos across the United Kingdom on May 17th, with the Newcastle event taking place a week earlier on May 10th. Entry Buy-ins will be available direct from the casinos on the day of play, or via pre-registration (through phone or by calling into the casino) seven days prior to the event being played. All seats are allocated subject to availability. Please confirm casino opening time and event start time with your local casino when pre-registering your event as times are subject to change. Generally, the casinos open at 12.30pm, with play starting at 2.30pm. The entry fee will be £20.00 and the events will be registration fee free. Tournaments Regional Championship events will hold a maximum of 80 players. Players will start each event with 3,000 chips and the event will run to an APAT Regional structure. Some of the events will be completely dealer dealt, however as a minimum the final table will be dealer dealt, so players should come prepared to self deal for a significant part of the tournament. Prizes The top nine players will win APAT Ranking Points. If you finish in the top nine, please ensure the casino notes your name for points allocation. The top three in each Regional Championship event will win Gold, Silver & Bronze Medals. The top 10% of finishers will gain a £75 entry to the Irish Amateur Poker Championship from the prize pool. The event is being held in Dublin on June 14th & 15th. The top 10% of finishers will gain a share of the remaining prize pool. All monies will be paid out. Additional Notes Refunds will not be offered where seats to National events are won and then not claimed. Players will have the option to advertise their seat for sale on the APAT Seat Exchange board at face value. APAT will only ratify seat exchanges that have gone through this board. Contact [email protected] in all cases. Due to a scheduling clash with the Grosvenor UK Poker Tour, APAT Regional leg 5 will take place at Grosvenor Newcastle one week before all other venues. In the spirit of APAT, players will be able to participate at Grosvenor Newcastle and one other leg 5 event if they choose. However, players will not be able to claim two sets of Ranking points or two National Championship seats. A player's single best result will count should either eventuality occur. Players will be able to claim prize money and medals at either event.
