Diolch yn fawr bachgen.
Congratulations to all the other Apat members who have the captaincy for their respective countries for this coming amateur world championships. I"m sure it is going to be another big hit. We"ll see you all at DTD in August, so best of luck to all, Apat F.T.W. :)

Very disappointed to see that the previously stated rule regarding the top two from current rankings has been ignored in team selection. :( However I shall apply to the Captain and see how I get on. Whoever gets picked best of luck to team England.

I have to agree with Don here. Both of us were eligible for team selection right now, and a rule change has now removed that eligibility. WELL DONE APAT for sucumbing to pressure and changing the rules.. I will NOT apply to Brian for a place, I will leave it to Brian to choose a team of his own, and if he would like to select me, thats fair enough..
I feel completely let down by APAT. You do all the things required to get into the team only for it to be pulled from under you. I wonder how Jack will also feel about this..!!

IMO APAT didn"t "succumb to pressure", to change the rules.
They made what they thought was a sensible decision, people presented their evidence to suggest that it wasn"t as good as it seems (primarily because of the different circumstances in the timing of this year"s team championship compared to the previous season when this rule would have had much more validity) - and as a result of which APAT made an evidence based decision to change it.
If APAT steadfastly refused to consider any feedback into how it could improve the way in which any of the individual events (or the season"s as a whole) were run then it would stagnate and become more and more disconnected and irrelevant to it"s membership. It"s an extremely promising sign that if a decision is made that evidence suggests is "wrong", APAT will fix the mistake rather than ignore it.
