League roundup
I would like to take this opportunity to thank all of Team Yorkshire, does not matter if you played 1 or all 10 games you all contributed plus to the ones that could not play for one reason and another, although you may have not played you still showed your support to Yorkshire.
As you all know by now we finished in 2nd place with Scotland being the winners. Going into the final game we wear 1 point behind but we had won the previous 2 games and so the momentum was with us. Unfortunately we could not get over the finishing line.
In the first league, the most disappointing thing was the drop off in players ,we started off with 30 players by the end we had 8 players. What pleased me in this league was the turn out in each game, we had from 12% to over 16% of the players, 15 in the first game and 16 in the last game. This was down to two things, the commitment of our players plus the good start we had.
By finishing in 2nd place, the 3 top scorers won a WCOAP Passport (I think it consists off a ME + 2 side events) plus anybody who scored points will have a % in the 3 players. So congratulations to Duncan (runadrum2), Stephen (DodgerAPAT) and to Barry (baz1471) Good luck in March/April.
Duncan also finished 4th in the individual league and in doing so he has won a ME seat to a National APAT game.
We have also been invited to play in the APAT Team Championships to be held in Luton on the 26th/27th of January. If you would like to be coincided to be in the team then please email me, PM me or post on the forum. Closing date for applicants is this Friday, I will be picking the side over the weekend.
For those of you who played in 8 or more games, the GPS Freeroll is this Sunday (23rd) at 7.00, a password will be sent to you.
The player of the season part 2 goes to Duncan with Barry in 2nd place and Mark (sm3llp00p) in 3rd with me in 4th (sorry had to put that in). So the overall winner of season 6 goes to Barry for finishing in 2nd place in both leagues with Wayne (Mr-Nosey-P) in 2nd place with 2 4th place finishers and Paul (_willow23_) in 3rd with him winning the first league. No prizes for this just bragging rights.
It looks like there will be another On-Line Cup in the new year so keep checking the forum for details.
Carl Pilgrim has kindly donated one of his GPS seats to the APAT community, to qualify to play in this is that you make a small contribution to his charity.
