Which Regional Team Can I Play For?
AMRN:
Can"t believe all that I"ve just read. We"re talking about a little weekly $10 poker comp with some significant added value but which has taken a huge amount of negotiation and organisation by the guys at APAT.
Yet despite all that, we have people throwing toys out of the pram? For crying out loud, I"d even play for Stockton if it meant I could get a decent game with a decent bunch of people, and some competitive spirit every week...... and although I was born in Bournemouth, I don"t feel the need to play for a Southern Region - I live in the West Midlands, and will be happy to play with them as my local region.
Need to see the bigger picture here guys.
GiMac:
I can only speak from my own experience. I havent played in the regional leagues for the last couple of years cos I wasn"t fussed about representing Newcastle/Stockton/Sunderland/NorthEast. So was quite excited that finally I had a team I would commit the time to and felt I could play for, now I am told I can"t. Shame.

Given the strength of feeling on this issue, I will organise discussions with Richard Baker, Stuart Oliver, John Murray and Rich Prew conerning 1) Regional borders and 2) Player Eligibility. Having the discussions doesn"t necessarily mean the current positon will change, but Rich and I will listen to all sides and communicate an outcome later this evening.

Many Thanks Des. I will support whatever decision comes about from this discussion.

It"s a bit different playing for a region of England as opposed to saying heres an England team but you can only play for Ireland. I"m sure most would rather play for their country as we have seen a few express.

Is this the APAT players committee?
If not does this prove we need one?
