National Championships
There are 11 Championship events, the majority of which cater for a maximum of 200 players in a 2 day tournament held on scheduled weekends until November 2008. The top 10% of players at each APAT Regional Championship event and online satellite will be allocated a seat at a National event. The remaining seats will be allocated via direct buy-in via the APAT website. In addition to the prize-money, cups and Gold medals, winners of APAT National Championships will receive a great deal of media coverage and be provided with a seat at either a leg of the GUKPT, the GUKPT Grand Final or at the WSOP main event (all including expenses) by Blue Square Poker.
