One last question Tikay - what are you ging to do with all those 10p's you've nicked?

Announcement on first event structure

We are going with the www.apat.com structure with one important difference. The addition of 800-1600 instead of 500-1000 following a team consultation this afternoon

This resolves the inadvertent problem caused earlier by a different structure being posted (sorry!) and hopefully reflects your feedback.

ifm, i cocked up in this response...see tikay's response above...you have to have registered an interest.

Ha........gotcha!!
Thanks but some may have registered an interest purely because you could, it cost nothing and there was no obligation when doing so.

I know ifm. It's ruined my day  

As to registering but not intending to play, there's not a lot we can do about that. If the ballot throws up a lot of people who choose not to play we simply go down the reserve list until we fill the event in balloted order

We've decided against nicking the 10p's Trace, as the Gaming Commission would get cross.

Peas at last. Peas in our time? Or peas, brother?

Anyway, I'm glad that's settled.

Next?

Theres nothing to stop us making the draw for a larger number (of reserves) if that turns out to be the case. But right now, we have not sold a seat, so it may not come to that. I don't want to assume anything, but it sure looks like a full-house if response is any guide.

That isn't the point boss, if there are people in the draw that needn't be it effects the odds of getting into the comp.
If you draw from 1000 (5-1) people it is longer odds than drawing from say 800 people (4-1).
Anyway i am now a registered member

You've whooshed me on the maths there, if I'm honest, & I do understand numbers reasonably well. Every "non-runner" effectively does not count. It's how many that INTEND to play that affects the maths, surely?

But as you are a Member now, I guess I had better start being nice to you now. You are right, Dear Member. (You may reply "yes Mr Chairman".....)

Top Bloke, thanks.

[tikay]

I may have misled you on the Reg Process, let me clarify.

ANYONE can "Register an Interest" in playing. But ONLY Members will go in the (possible) Draw for Seats.

We will e-Mail all those who RAI, & remind them that unless they take out Membership, they will not go in the draw.

Sorry if I confused anyone there.

[turny]

still confused here lol


so all members will be in the draw regardless of registering an interest??

or do members need to register an interest as well??

sorry but cant get my head round it help!
