Match Structure
TightEnd:
Gordon, you haven"t read most of the thread
Frankly, you are talking a lot of ******** (insert smiley)
In a nutshell
- The vast majority of the field need to get up for work on the Monday morning, that is the overwhelming feedback
- The European team, in particular had huge problems with a late finish, especially with an hour"s time zone difference. The team would in all likelihood have had to fold, the Captain assured us repeatedly. Not desirable from their point of view, or APATs.
- Railing has always been a big part of APAT leagues and final tables.
- The structure change is very much because of a late finish. No other reason, The opposite of a red herring
- No APAT player has suggested a lesser structure to remove the skill element. The overwhelming majority of APAT players could be characterised as "tight" "conservative" types. There is a reluctance, I think, to adjust playing style to suit structure
As to Will Young"s points. The structure change was communicated via facebook, twitter and forum. Captains should also have communicated it as widely as possible. I also don"t think telling people who traditionally rail their mates to "get a life" or go to bed is at all helpful. Who are you to say that they need to do that? The railing is part of what the community is about, and has been for years.
As I keep saying we have two very different constituencies to cater to here. Those that want to play deep and long and those that can"t risk a late finish. Impossible to say how many have pulled out for which reason.
we might have a structure for week 4 onwards that provides a solution, suggested by Stars, that the captains are considering now
It is far shallower in the early levels, and will allow conservative types plenty of time to play. Finishing time would be roughly the same as now, because the starting stack is much lower. Better structure though
We"ll see what the captains want to do

Tbh you have a point, cos I spoke to a few players who didnt play after week 1 cos it was too late a finish but when i said the structure had changed to 4k with a 12min clock and that the game was finished by 12.30am they all said, why didn"t someone tell them the structure had changed cos they would have played for sure. I think there is a large silent majority who do not use the forum regularly who still do not know that the structure has changed from that first game, some might say their loss, but I say maybe thats APAT's loss. :o :o :o

Gave you a very constructive reply
Just thought it was a bit off to sound off so pointedly without reading the thread Gordon. If you had done so you would discovered most of your points were moot

Well i have read most of the thread and I do not think my points are moot.
So does that now mean I am allowed to say I think you are talking *********? (nosmileyintendedorrequiringinsertion)
No it doesn"t cos I tend to treat people with a bit more respect, you obviosuly don"t have the social skills to do so. ::)
