Английская Википедия:Amateur Poker Association & Tour
Шаблон:Infobox sports league The Amateur Poker Association & Tour (APAT) is an organisation founded in 2006[1] and is Europe's largest organisation for recreational poker players, with a membership of over 20,000 players.
The Association element of the organisation is focused on consulting with gaming and industry bodies to enhance the player experience; with standardisation of rules, player friendly structures and event sponsorship at the top of its agenda.
The Tour element is primarily aimed at organising live poker tournaments in licensed venues across the United Kingdom, Ireland and other European countries. APAT has also hosted the APAT North American Amateur Poker Championship at the world famous Caesars Palace Casino in Las Vegas. APAT’s principal live events are differentiated from other organised Poker Tournaments in the UK by being fully dealer-dealt and featuring deep stacked, well-structured tournaments for a modest entry fee.
Tournaments
All principal APAT Tour events are run to APAT’s standardised rules, with blind structures targeted on providing value for the players. Tour events are reported, in real time, via APAT’s websites and have also been streamed live via the internet for online viewing.
In addition, APAT organises a series of Online Poker Championship events and the APAT National Online League via its headline gaming sponsors. In 2012, APAT has announced the PokerStars.com National Online League.
