I cannot see the problem myself, if non APATers play this, surely they cannot be listed in the weekly tables, therefore, the points a non APATer would earn would not be counted, and the points they get would go to the next APATer.

I am not sure if I have explained this eloquently enough.


I"m with Nellie on this.. Nothing against having non-apaters playing these tournaments.
Although Leigh might have something to say if he"s constantly having to look to see who"s signed up and who"s not. All for the sake of a couple of points here and there.


Leaving aside the issue of whether some is a "real" APATer or not...how do you know if someone is serious or not?

Let"s say I"m in, oh, the Czech Republic and I fancy a shot at the Bo5 games...I win the first but because I"m not a known APATer you"re going to take my points away and give them to the second placer...say what now?

How do you know I wasn"t trying to win my way into the Sunday challenge or perhaps a live APAT event?


If they were serious and were trying for the Sunday Challenger or a live APAT event, surely they would look at the site and join APAT, I don"t think they should get the points if they are not an APAT member. Personally I have no problem in non APATers playing as it boosts the numbers and really believe they are just playing a tourney and not aware there are points involved.

They might...but then again, why should they?

But now we"re back to whether they are APAT members thing again....and we"ve covered that.

I"m trying to understand the other side of the argument. People are making reference to non-members.

Oh i see,,,,personally i think a password makes "new apaters" have to come to the forum where they then may see upcoming events in more detail and then attend.Maybe though the sponsors arent so keen on a password and their wishes should be taken into consideration.

My problem with the league system as it is the fact that these 888 players with no knowledge of APAT.com have no idea what they are playing


Again, I say...how do you know they have no knowledge?

in which case if they cant provide password why is it wrong to assume they do not know.

i think they should just stop using the term APAT member and start calling  people poker players, now i know this might exclude some APAT members but thats just how it is  ;)
