I came 15th this time and scored 7 points for myself but when I look on the individual leader board I am not even on it!! No point playing these things if we do not even get what we earn is their?

It clearly says at the top Standings after Week 7 - week 8 is not on there yet.
For whats it"s worth whilst I agree with Henry APAT definitely can"t change the rules so we just have to accept it. It"s not like Wales are not going to win anyway so it doesn"t matter really.

I totally agree here, the two teams seem too strong, they always do well. This might have something to do with the excellent recruitment work done by the captains (Henry especially, credit where it is due) but players are more likely to bother playing for a team called Wales or Scotland than a team called "East of England" for example. The player base for Wales is largely from Cardiff and most never played for the old Cardiff club (again this is in no small part down to Henrys work but still).
Not sure what you do about this but I think allowing players to play for the place they come from rather than just where they live has something to do with it. We don"t want two superteams so maybe this should also be revisited when the rules are reviewed. Please note at the time of this post I am in a position to benefit from the rule I am suggesting changes but would like everybody to have an equal chance. Also Wales and Scotland are not international teams so there is no entitlement to play for them for the Welsh and the Scots.

Interesting thread - I am happy with the rules either way going forward - but not to change them mid season or retrospectively.
Only in weeks 1 and 4 were there no unregistered players in the points so this scenario has been waiting to happen.
Given that every week there will very likely be unregistered players in the tournament you need to factor it in.
For the people who are currently unregistered - is there a way to flag at registration that you need to register on www.apat.com in order for points to count and to be eligible for the value added prizes.
There is no incentive to not register - it"s just a potential loss to the player concerned.
Logistically is it possible for a message to be sent in the chat box across all the tables at the start of the tournament?
Is it reasonable for people to register for a team in the first hour of the tournament??
Better to flag/resolve during play rather than after?

The fact is unregistered players have made the points on 5 or 6 occasions. I think that if this had been posted up after week 2 or 3, there would be a valid reason for change (as was done with the structure) but as we have just completed week 8, I think its a bit harsh to suggest we could maybe have a vote on wether to change the ruling and thus amend previous scores. Definitely something to discuss for next season tho.

I think now that it has been realised the unregistred player was actually registered , then it wont affect this game as the result would be ammended , but for the future i agree we are now more than halfway and any rule change should be applied before the start of the next run of games.
as for the suggestion that the teams are unfair , are we really going to go back down this route again , i thought it was discussed enough last time round
