I hear on the grapevine that only the top 50 players will earn points towards the forum prize. is this right? has it been finalised how that will work? seems a bit odd
news to me. will find out more. |

1 Forums should appoint a captain and can apply to enter a maximum of two teams by the closing date of June 22nd. Final player selections will need to be confirmed by June 29th.
2. Structure is standard APAT.
3 . Top 50 only because we need to be able to guarantee to capture points scoring correctly, and we should be able to do this from five / six tables out. With twenty tables in play and players going out left right and centre between 8pm and 11pm on day one, this would be impossible. A while ago a team event was held where the scoring was in error, discovered after the comp, when prize money had been handed out etc etc

T-shirts will obviously be on hold until both team's entries are confirmed.
I have confirmed with Des that blonde has two teams it would like to enter. We'll make the team picks before 29th so that APAT can have them by then.
I guess I'm captain.

also discounting the lower finishers reduces the effect of luck (bad luck anyway - if you get lots of luck all the way through it doesn't make a difference, so Kinboshi could be all right). |

I know that this is going to get suggested at some point anyway but are we having a last longer outside of the money side bet for all the Blondes?
Do I need a comma in that sentence? Possibly after the anyway? Sorry if anyone ran out of breath reading it.

We'll sort that once it's all confirmed. Do I need a comma in that sentence? Possibly after the anyway? Sorry if anyone ran out of breath reading it. Ask Sofa for a comma or two. He has plenty to spare. |

i will find out more over the weekend it wasn't near 20 but in the last 48 hours there has been a lot of fresh interest from forums as news has spread and some announcmeents have gone onto a few forums hence I had to say something, rather than spring a possible disappointment on you with no notice. |

To those that have asked me about the THM team, apparently there may be one after all. Sadly I am not involved as I will be away in sunny Exeter and I also heard there were no TV cameras.  |

I can't see we're going to get two team in either. Given that people will be in the process of arranging travel and accommodation (and indeed may already have forked out) I think APAT need to get this sorted asap. Do we have a date by which we will definitely know the number of teams we can enter? If, as I suspect, it's only going to be one team, will the team members be chosen in order of expressions of interest? (seems the fairest way, but would be a shame if others who had expressed an interest later ended up losing money). |
