Not sure of how your spread over the regions will be but if players can choose their team surely there may be an inbalance in the number of players in each team??

If this is the case then surely the teams with more players in them have an advantage in that they have more players playing the weekly events and therefore more % chance of getting higher placed finishes.

Maybe Im wrong but this the only flaw I can see in what looks like a great event.

Far more even than in previous years

The vast majority of people will play in the area they live, some in an area they have a long term association with

Overall, this format should see a far more level playing field than before

We"ll monitor the situation but don"t envisage a real issue.

ok fair enough

I"m not sure about bigger teams having more of an advantage tbh, only 4 can score so i think that kinda counteracts any advantage. Only way i see a disadvantage is if the team is vastly bigger. I think a few players makes no difference.

Well done guys, the added value looks very impressive and Stars certainly seems a popular choice.

As someone pointed out above could we have some clarity on the individual/team points thing. I"m sure you mean all your points count towards your individual total but will only count towards your team"s total if you are one of the top four finishers for your region - but it doesn"t read like that. It would be good to clarify to avoid any future issues.

Would it be possible to display a map with APAT's region split defined. At the moment I"m not sure if I"m South East, East or London and HC - If you spoonfeed it to me I"m less likely to get it wrong - although it"s not guaranteed.

A great start to proceedings, well done chaps!

Thanks John.  There isn"t a map as such.  I would offer a guideline that if you live within 30 mile of London, you may fall into L & HC.  SE runs out to the coast and E is above.  If necessary, type "UK Regional Map" into google images and you will get a good idea of where you might be positioned.

Thx...this toothache has numbed my brain cells....

I can"t wait for the online league this season.
Obviously a lot of thought has gone into organising this, especially the points system which looks spot on. And the added value is exceptional.
