Swinebag:
Option 1 for me but just have

Scotland
Ireland
Wales
England north
England south
England central.

If this doesn"t solve the disparity of numbers problem then I quite like option 2.1

Did think scoring system worked well from last year though would like to see that kept . I think that was just about spot on and would work even better with increased numbers , still exactly same points scoring players etc !

^^Agree with this - the ramp up of points toward the winning spots was so much better than the linear points increase of prior years.

Option 1 for me - think it"s important to keep some sort of localised team spirit, otherwise the whole team concept could lose it"s bearing altogether.

In option 2, how would players be aligned to teams if they joined half way through a season?  We would also lose the recruitment that currently occurs.... why would a team captain bother to spend time trying to recruit, only to then see the new person aligned to a different team.

Busy on here today, given that it"s a work day and all.

Option 1
South (Solent and across the South coast going West)

Great - so we would amalgamate with Plymouth"s two active players. I assumed the proposal would include us combining with Kent and/or London. You will be aware that APAT hasn"t taken off in the South, possibly due to every tournament being a long way away until now. [Thanks for Brighton btw - lots of Solent players going.] Giving us a region which seems comparable in size to others, but is basically a desert, is not equitable. Would Sussex players at least have to play for their own region instead of going with Kent and their lovely captain? TBH, I feel that the regional format is a bit tired now.

Love Option 2, whether drafts or seeded. Should make for a much more competitive league, rather than one where the players of one team are competing to see which of them gets the free seats this time.

John,

If it helps, I"m pondering pushing APAT much more in Dorset, Devon, Cornwall now that I have moved a bit further West.  It would be great if we could get an APAT event in Bristol perhaps, but can understand that it would clash with Cardiff/Birmingham as far as catchment areas go.

It"s a tough balance to get right.



On the draft scenario, how does it work for players that haven"t played APAT before, and therefore wouldn"t be ranked ?   Also, what if a player gets allocated to a team, but then chooses not to play as much next season.  Surely that would hinder that team considerably ?

Chipaccrual:
Sorry Steve, crossed over on your post there.  Think we are asking a similar question.

Appreciate the comments on the scoring last year.  A lot of time and effort went into trying to perfect that and some positive comments back are gratefully appreciated by all involved.   ;D
