APAT All*Stars - Top 200
AAroddersAA:
Hi Guy"s
First and foremost, great piece or work by Des, really excellent. Thanks for the comments of congratulations.
Was a bit surprised by the result, I obviously knew my results were good and expected to be pretty highly ranked but did not think I was in with a chance of the top spot as I thought John was a dead cert. John has been consistently successful for so long I don"t think anybody can question the fact he is considered the greatest player on the APAT circuit as nobody can touch his record, even if I happen to have more ranking points than him (and that may not be the case for long). All that being said I will happily accept the result. It was achieved with more than my share of good luck and also by luckily being in the position to be able to play a high number of APAT events, there are a number of other players who could easily have done the same in the same circumstances. I have probably played about 30-40 events which is a tiny number and without a lot of luck I could easily not even be in the top 200, When playing online going 40 tournaments without a cash is pretty standard even for a very good player (that is poker).
Des made the very valid point this now puts a bit of pressure on for the upcoming WCOAP (please tell me when that is *lol*). John will probably be planning to take back the number one spot and it would take a brave man to back against him doing just that with his mixed game skills at the worlds. However any player in the top 10 is capable of a run that will raise them to a position to take the top spot, even outside of the top 10 you have Chris Webber (who will almost certainly be top 10 by the end of the WCOAP), Rich Baker, JP Round, Glen Laming, Stu Ward and a number of other all of whom are good enough to go on a run to get right up there. Defending the position in 2016 will be hard but I intend to give it my best shot.
One question do the cards actually exist or are they virtual and can we buy them? I would like the whole top 10 if possible *lol*. Do they only exist for the top 10?
Oh and finally, I am pretty sure I won the season four live rankings outright and it was not a draw *lol* it went all the way down to the last event in Llorett Da Mar and was one titanic battle between myself, Darren and Jack and we were all still in it going into the last event, really enjoyed that season. :-)

Just to confirm the scoring mechanism that we used to compile the rankings.
1) The rankings are for live events only, so previously published seasonal lists may differ.
2) Points have been allocated on the back of a cashes made, so a player finishing 8th in a side event, without cashing, does not receive ranking points or final table credits.
3) Points were allocated in medal events as follows:-
- APAT & WCOAP main events - 18pts for 1st position, down to 1pt for 18th position.
- WCOAP side events - 9pts for 1st position, down to 1pt for 9th position.
- Team events (representing a team) - 3pts for 1st position, down to 1pt for 3rd position.
- Team events (individual leaderboard) - 9pts for 1st position, down to 1pt for 9th position.
- Players outside of the above positions, who still cash - 1pt
4) Where players are level on ranking points, the list is then sorted in order of a) number of cashes, b) average field size and c) number of buy ins won.

Correction
One event had been omitted from the rankings list, the 2008 WCOAP Stud Championship. 3 players scored points in this event as follows:-
9pts - Owen Rankin
8pts - Dave Howard
7pts - Charles Sanderson
The most notable difference sees Dave Howard moving from #18 to #14, while Steve Redfern, Richard Baker, Ian Thompson and JP Round move down 1 position.
The updated top 200 list follows.

Correction
The following players cashed the ECOAP Six Max Championship in August 2012, but were outside of the top 9. Each has now received 1 point for this result.
