[1] 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.
Tour events are reported, in real time, via APAT’s websites and have also been streamed live via the internet for online viewing.
Side events include the World Amateur Team Championship and tournaments in other poker variants such as Stud, H.O.R.S.E.
