Members want more satellites, we give them more satellites.
13 players register. The details are all there, but if they are not supported, there"s not a lot I can do about it.
We won"t be able to continue running satellites for a minority of players, well certainly not with a guarantee.

to be fair Leigh, I think the comments about risk are particularly pertinent, and probably go a long way to explain the very low registration for this satellite. I don"t think it"s anything to do with not supporting APAT.

I"m not criticising anyones support, I"m just not sure what the risk is in playing these satellites ?
The only problem that has arisen is that if you are already regged for Day 1b, then you need to unreg to be able to play the satellites. Players may choose not to do that, but whilst the holding tank is only two thirds full, it is not really an issue.
Any problems, and I am around to get them sorted for people.
To be honest, my personal issue is that I get onto Betfair saying that the APAT members are asking for more satellites and that a guarantee of seats would help assure a satellite worth playing in, and then we don"t get close to the guarantee.
That"s my problem to solve, but it is a very frustrating one.

I think it maybe the lack of faith, or rather lack of confindence with Betfair rather than anytihng APAT have or haven"t done.
Lots of people have had probs depositing, Talk Talk issue, and with hole cards showing then not, regging with tournaments, so its a genereal lack of trust with Betfair that if u do unreg it"ll be plain sailing to get back in.
That said, 13 is still very low by APAT standards, so I can only think that above is the main / only reason.
Mikeyboy9361:
probs main reason is everyone was BBQing!!!!

I didn"t get one of your facebook invites either - were they sent?
I only happened upon it looking for the League Match, otherwise I wouldn"t have known about it and there would only have been 12.
I think that you assurances have certainly put my mind at ease and I"ll be there for the next one.

I didn"t send one for these as they will be a weekly thing. Perhaps I should have, although I don"t want to get accused of constantly spamming people. ( I know how much it annoys me, when people invite me to every event available ;D )
We will live and learn, and I"m sure these will be popular for a while.
