Would have been nice to know this sooner I thought the shirts came with the buy in of the tournament....I didn"t tell anyone on my team that there was a charge for the shirt....
Careybear:
Since it wasn"t announced that we had to pay for shirts this year we only need 3 shirts for our team because 2 people from my team already have shirts and don"t want a new one so please cancel two of the shirts...This should have been on the announcement for the team event from the start...So we"ll only need the 3 XL shirts thank you...

Really? £15 per shirt? This is the first year that there has been a charge for these so unprepared for this really. I havent told any of our guys this so by way of not getting off on a bad start I will be paying for all our shirts. Is there an option of getting our own shirts with our own designs and personalisation, maybe for next year?
zzBlizzardzz:
Can I recommend that APAT just include these in the juice next year. £125 per player, £600 per team. Just feels a little better then having to buy the shirts as an extra.

Sorry if you and your team weren"t aware of this Craig. I"ve already discussed in detail with Carey. Players have paid cost price on their shirts for the last two international team events -the ECOAP at DTD in Aug 2012 and the Home Internationals in Stoke in Nov 2011. Of course we haven"t had a World event with the US and Canada teams in it since Aug 2011 and we"ve made a lot of changes since then on the pricing front, hence the oversight on my part. Plus we"ve just confirmed the cost price with the manufacturer and it comes to £14.70 inc Vat per shirt, so we"re asking the players to pay £15 per shirt for ease of handling change - which is less per shirt than the last two events I believe. APAT has added five bracelets and presentation boxes on top of the medals to the prize pool, so we aren"t in a position to continue paying £1,500 in shirt costs for such a small event player numbers wise, but again apologies to any of our players that has been caught out by this late cost. It"s my fault, and believe me - if we could swallow the cost of shirts for everyone, then we would. We don"t like getting it wrong, but sometimes we just have to hold our hands up when we do.
On your other question, the price of the shirts is determined to some degree by the final number of teams taking place and quantities ordered - which makes it difficult to confirm what the exact price up front to include within the buy in.
