Season 4 Announcement

[Paulie_D]

Actually, even with 40 slots available, I think you could easily get 40 forums wanting places and still turn some away.

If we are correct in our assumption about what Jon was saying, it"s possible for a team to get a single player to the FT with no others scoring points (my forum did exactly that this year IIRC).

While I""d be happy to come back on that basis, is it really fair that my team comes back on the basis of a single player?

As I said, uproar ensues!

There"s clearly no easy answer that will make everyone happy but I"m content, as I mentioned, for Des & Co to decide which teams he wants in THEIR comp.

There"s clearly no easy answer that will make everyone happy...

I agree. I just hope that I am lucky enough to get a place on any forum team next year as the forum comp is easily my favourite.

[Paulie_D]

I"d actually like to see a second team comp with no individual prizes (as was the original idea).

Proper...ahem..."Team Play"....Soft play, chip swapping and collusion allowed....the carnage would be superb.

20 teams were in I think

If at most 15 automatically came back that would be 5 effectively relegated.

In a football league of 18-26 you only get 3 or 4 relegated a season.

And in practice there will usually be overlap so there will be 6 or 7 changes, like I suggested before I think wholesale changes to the teams entered would be a bad thing as it would destroy the continuity of the tournament (which is an important thing)

Why shouldn"t one player "save" a forum"s place in the tournament?

Once only one player is left towards the end of the tournament they play for themselves - if a final table position guaranteed their team a place for the following for another shot at the team title, it carries forward the "team" element of the tournament further than otherwise.

[Paulie_D]

I guess we"ll just have to disagree Jon, the only continuity that should apply (in my opinion) is APAT & the winning team (if different ).

The other teams should "earn" their spot from one year to the next based on whatever criteria APAT chooses.

This comp isn"t about the individual players or their teams...it"s about APAT. In that respect it"s different from all other APAT comps. If a wholesale cleanout of the previous teams helps spread the APAT spirit I"m all for it.

If we really want it to be a "team" thing, knock out the individual prizes...[/more uproar]

[Paulie_D]

You know, I looked and can"t see that question has been asked before or answered.

I think the answer is yes. Hopefully someone official will advise.

There will be a direct buy-in to the pro game through the Betfair Lobby, the same as the amateur event direct buy-in.

Have I not seen Leigh mention an on-line team game? (Not the league) Could this be in the lead up to the forum championship ??.

Hello people.
I"m new on this forum and want to say hey.
I"ve a question about the APAT tournament in Estonia. (I"m sorry if the question has been asked before).
Is it possible for me and my friend to buy us directly into the tournament in Estonia (75£)? And if yes, when is it possible?
We"re planning to order fly tickets and hotel and want to be sure that we can play the tournament before we order.
Really hope you can help me on this one

Regards,
Andreas
