APAT Season 8 - [Pre-release Discussion]
Sugar_Free:
My main wish for season 8 is that you guys give us more notice. You seemed to forget that we"re all amateur players with jobs, families and limited resources. We need more notice than you gave us this year to organise time off, get cheap hotel and travel deals and get our green cards.

The team event, in my opinion should be a Ryder cup style pick with the most ranking points getting in the team and then the captain having two wild cards? Maybe a none playing captain too, who could coast around and support his players.
With Chris on the venues and it is about time one was held in Yorkshire! Genting at Sheffield was great at the GPS,
Like Danns point of the cut back on so many online games it"s ridiculous, people have family"s and partners/wife"s to keep happy and sitting down every night playing cards is out of he question.

Which games are you referring to?
Championship events wise - there"s only a main + a side to complement each Live festival (these are usually the weekend following the Live event).
The Mini League (current prize: Vegas Package) is an LPPL league that has run each month for years. We"ve now opened this up to APAT players, which I think is a good thing. It provides more choice and an option for people to play any night of the week - in fact, LPPL players have recently asked if I can increase the number of games here (from 1 a night to 3 a night at various times).
Which games would you like to see dropped?
--- Quote ---The return of the online league has to be a priority as well, I"ve missed it this year and getting Yorkshire to the team event in Luton and playing myself was a great experience and one I would love to do again. I know Matt has explained to me that there may be a change of site etc but it needs sorting.

Seems a little bit of a contradiction between this point and your first? We are looking to launch the online league ASAP, but we haven"t for the reason I"ve explained on a few other posts recently (and will explain again in reply to SR"s post below).
edit: corrected typo

I can assure you this will happen.

Not sure if you"ve seen my other posts on this recently, but this is a very high priority at the moment. We are in discussion with other networks with a view to move. However, this is not likely to be until mid-next year, as these things take a long time (there"s so many boxes to tick, hoops to jump through)... So, in the meantime, we are in other discussions re: partnering with another site until we have a permanent home. It is likely that the first online events to be held here will be the Online League (hence the delay that Adilong mentions in his post).

I agree 100% Matt, this is a great little league with a terrific format, decent prizes and for the most part friendly (not miserable) people. There is no need to play every night since 8 games gets you into the play off, but you can if you like. My only complaint, although a small one, is that it could start and finish a little earlier, but it sounds from what you say that plans are afoot to counter that.
