Important query regarding Week 8
SwissToni:
Also these unregistered players will have won pots from other players AND knocked players out too. Are players knocked out by him to be reinstated in the tournament? Of course not. I"m aware that"s a silly question but it"s simply to make a point. Either we have to assume the unregistered player didn"t play, in which case points can be reallocated along with monetary prizes and chips (obv can"t happen) OR we have to treat them as having participated and simply void their finishing position and take their chips/money/points out of the game. I don"t feel it"s fair to mix and match

Haven"t yet got close enough to the points for this to be an issue for me, but in my opinion, Henry"s points are entirely valid. Decisions points crop up in the tourney that have substantial influence on decisions - surely we can"t have players finishing positions changing after the event.
Those unregistered players have occupied an important points scoring position - those points should just be null and void, not allocation to someone else, imo.

These are my feelings precisely. I understand where you are coming from Des but I just think it is hugely unfair for player"s finishing positions to change after the event in which players have had to make decisions based on information they assume to be accurate

I"ll certainly have a look into it with the regional controllers to ensure that the final result of match 8 was published completely in line with the rules of the league.
If that"s the case then APAT would not change rules mid season as it would bring the whole league into disrepute. As an example we would need to address points scoring where unregistered players finished in the top 27 at every match this season.

I can understand why changing rules mid season would be a poor idea but surely there has to be an element of discression in the event of an obviously poor rule? I doubt there would be anyone involved in the league who would dissagree that this is a poor rule. Even those in Team Scotland would struggle to logically back this rule I feel.
Perhaps there is room for a vote on the rule? Also to change previous results would be a matter of 5 minutes as I doubt this has happened more than 3 times so far.
Chipaccrual:
Awwwwwww, can"t we just change the rules mid season ?
Even if it"s just to make up for the lost traffic on the site in the past month ;)
Geo:
Unfortunately the rules set out only make the following point regards players unregistered for a region
3 - There is no limit to how many players can represent each region in a match. However, players will be required to register for a region prior to the start of a match. Non registered players will be disqualified from scoring points in a match.
Lots of valid points ST, however I believe that a similar scenario occured in matchday 6 and same decision was taken. Everyone accepted it then and I believe team captains should have been more careful from then.
Whilst I participate for the team that benefitted, am sure everyone will know I say this with the greatest of integrity, had my team been on the wrong end of this I would honestly respect the decision from the APAT HQ.
Something to chew over for next season though.
