20th April clashes with worlds??

Thanks, good spot. FMP.

From the first post (sorry, can"t quote it directly):

"The top 3 teams will be invited to enter a team in the APAT UK Team Championships held in Season 8"

and the second:

"In addition, the top two teams will be invited to enter a team in the APAT UK Team Championship to be held in 2015."

Thanks Matt. Have corrected.

It was initially 3 teams, but we"ve guaranteed entry to the winning team in this Sunday"s UK Teamp Champs too, so felt that awarding 4 overall was too many.

Also:

"A player scores points for their team as above, however only a maximum of three players per region can score team points in any one match for calculating team matchday points.  Should four or more players from one team reach points scoring positions, the lowest of those points scorers will receive 0 team points and their team points will be allocated to the next best finisher."

Will the fourth team finisher still score individual points, as happened in previous leagues? eg Fourth player finishes 18th, then he still gets 3 points toward the individual prize but 19th place scores the team points for the night?

Other than those, looks pretty good.

It may be that a 12 minute clock would be preferable, but obv depends on number of runners/finishing time. Only time will tell.

Thanks APAT

Yes, everyone finishing in the points (i.e. top 18) will score individual points.

Is this correct....

Individual:
The best performing individual player will be awarded 2 x £82.50 APAT National Event seats.
The runner up individual player will be awarded 2 x £82.50 APAT National Event seats.

Same prizes for FIRST and SECOND....

[Matt D]

Yes, that"s correct.

Team:
The three best performing members of the winning team will be awarded 2 x £82.50 APAT National Event seats.

This seems a bit odd, I assume its because there may be teams of less than 6 players?

Will it be an option for the winning team to transfer seats to other members?

I think this is the same as the last NOL too? But yes, some teams may only have 3 players. I"m happy for you to gift one of your seats to another player if you like.
