Amateur Poker Association and Tour Launches

Amateur Poker Limited, in association with PokerStars.com and PokerPlayer Magazine, has today announced the formation of the Amateur Poker Association and Tour (APAT).

The APAT will be the world�s first combined poker association and tour, and will hold its inaugural live event, the English Amateur Poker Championship, at the Broadway Casino in Birmingham on September 23 and 24 2006. Players will start the event with �10,000 in chips, and a structure designed to encourage creative play throughout.

The Tour will allow APAT members to take part in a series of high profile events with low entry fees, with sponsor funding increasing the value of prizes considerably whilst the association will consult with gaming and industry bodies to enhance the player experience. Standardisation of rules, player friendly structures and event sponsorship will be at the top of its agenda.

�I am delighted to be associated with the Amateur Poker Association & Tour,� Tony Kendall, APAT chairman, said. �The APAT will quickly become the affordable proving ground for players wanting to realise their potential in high quality live events, and a guaranteed added value prize pool is great news for everyone.�
