APAT UK Team Championship

One Team per Forum...I"m happy

I think that that would be a shame, unless there were 20 odd forums that could put in a team..

Erm...you missed the point of my post...

..but the point is (at least in large part) to find the "best" forum...having more than one team per forum improves that forum"s chances of winning the forums prize.

Anyway, I think there is a good possibility that there will be 20 forums (fora)...but if not, who decides which forum gets to put in more than 1 team?

I think you may have missed the point of my reply. We will get on a wavelength here..

I agree with you on the forum thing, my reply was saying it wont work unless you have 20 odd forums, otherwise you possibly wont have the numbers to have a 2 day event unless forums can put in 2 teams.
When there is enough forums who want to put entries in then I would imagine that it would be a 1 team per forum game.

Our last two day event had 130 runners.....and there will be 140 in Dublin.  

[Paulie_D]

Fair enough...let"s get it all done and dusted Day 1...
...then spend Sunday on the beer and strippers.

Plan?

[biffa85]

how and when is the apat team (or teams) going to be decided?

Surely APAT should have first dibs at having extra teams?

please sir pick me, pick me!!!!

[AMRN]

is there a closing date for team entries?

Very true, so I revise my calculations to be 13/14 or maybe 15 forums then.

A very good plan..... God I hope the value of the euro gets better over the next few days, more beer, more strippers..

Is there a list ?

[StuartHopkin]

Not sure if there is an actual list, but i expressed and interest earlier in the thread.

Des, I think it is likely that "FurnessPoker.com" would like to enter a team in this.

I"ll have a check round and let you know asap.

[Robbiebox]

We will defo have a team for this.

Let us know Des if that is OK, and I will confirm with them all.

We have decided that this championship will be in an MTT format.

Each forum will be allowed to apply to enter up to two teams.

Full details will be in the player briefing in the weeks before the event

Frankly I think that this biases matters somewhat...after all, how can you be the "best" forum when you get more shots at the prize because you can enter more than one team?

Forums can "apply"?...Who decides whether one forum can enter more than one team, as opposed to another, when you get 20+ teams wanting to play?

Will the G fit more than 20 teams or are the team sizes going to be altered?

I"ve always maintained that it should be one forum = one team and if there are less than 20 teams then the MTT should go off short. If you get 20+ forums then it should be on first come, first accepted basis.

Full details will be in the player briefing in the weeks before the event

Is the buy-in date still supposed to be 25th June?

If so, that doesn"t seem to leave a lot of time to arrange matters when, with all due respect, the final format/team numbers/team sizes have yet to be finalised. People have to arrange time off with loved ones and employers well before the date, and with only 6 weeks to go, not knowing if they will even get to play (or be on an acepted team) is a little disconcerting.

I appreicate your concerns but we are some way under 20 teams and there is little suggestion that we will exceed that number.  Things will move quickly from here so you should have the normal notice period to prepare for the event. 

Our apologies to Chezger who wanted to enter 12 teams.
