APAT UK Team Championship - January 2011
MAIR:
Stuart I was not being sarcastic, only that it if there was a B team, then more chance of players being selected for both teams, so 16 picks instead of 8 and I personally thought that wasnt too bad an idea.
Im sorry if it appeared that way.
I think I will bow out of these discussions, very much different perspectives from everyone, which has turned into a huge debate, and I know that Debs was only trying to just gather a team of ladies together to hopefully be selected just like other forums and clubs.

And one other point. We had a long discussion in Luton regarding the winning team last year and whether they should be able to defend their title.
My opinion was that the players represented "Team APAT", and it would only be right for every member to have that opportunity to play in the team this year.
I have spoken to a number of the guys from last year, and explained the situation and my reasoning for it. They are obviously disappointed about it, as it is a great event to play in.
Sorry guys, I genuinely hope some of you get selected this year, but whoever represents the APAT forum will, I"m sure, do us proud.

Definitely the right decision.

If Chezger are lucky enough to get a place, this is the preferred method of selection (according to the CEO)

Ladies team - thought this was a response to Larry Murphys (LOL) putting forward a request for a team
the argument that ladies are in a minority and having their own team is a way of redressing the balance, is flawed. I"m pretty sure there will be more male players than female players who want to play and end up not playing.
I"m also pretty sure that the ratio of disappointed males to disappointed females will be pretty similar to the ratio of males playing to females that end up playing.
Last year there were plenty of teams that had female representation and I"m pretty sure this year will be no different and Last years APAT team not having a female player seemed to be an exception rather than a rule.

This is indeed a strong influence in the mob team too...
