APAT UK Team Championship - January 2011
TightEnd:
Once the APAT forum captain is appointed he or she will appoint the team. Gender of the 8 players is irrelevant, he or she will be asked to pick the best team for the purposes of representing the APAT forum well and defending their title
MAIR:
I have posted on the ladies thread, but to have a woman"s team would be gr8 for the girls not for oh we wanna be better than the men, just so we get an opportunity to play in this prestigious event.
Due to the huge percentage of men to women it is very difficult to be selected for a team and a lot do get overlooked and if one is not a member of all those forums out there who are applying to play in the event then the chances of getting on a team are much smaller.
I am with Debs on this that it is in no way about equality its about an opportunity for the ladies to take part in the event, a team made up of women who genuinely want an opportunity to play.

coincidental. I don"t believe Leigh stipulated that selection was based on gender.

Agree - coincidental.
I realise I may really regret even starting this conversation if it goes on much further! The ladies in APAT are outnumbered (fact not a moan). We prefer playing to railing (again fact not moan). We are not bra burning feminists trying to make a point - just wanted to participate in an event we might not otherwise get chance to - granted perhaps "cos we don"t get the results to warrant a place. It was just a fun suggestion - if it gets anywhere close to being anything other than that I will withdraw my request to APAT to consider our team - not worth it. This is NOT a political issue for us! :(

If this is the reason then why not suggest an APAT "B" team?
