APAT Ladies Team anyone???
MAIR:
Having a ladies team would be great, there are so many fantastic lady players within APAT who find it difficult each year to qualify to play on a team and are usually overlooked.
I know there are lots of forums out there wishing to gain one of the 25 team slots, but I hope that a ladies team will be considered, moreso as the ladies are 100% supporters of APAT week in week out and would love an opportunity to play this prestigous event.
I for one would be very interested in joining the ladies on this team and hope that the captain would consider me to play for them.

yes i think susazanne is right i dont think debs thought of it as a apat ladies team just a ladies team in a apat event much like any other team like blond or bcpc xxx
AMRN:
At risk of putting myself out there to be torn apart, I have to ask why a specific Ladies team is needed.
In football, rugby, athletics, and other such physical sports, there is a need to create gender specific competitions as physical differences separate male and female. I"m not sure what the physical differences are that separate us when it comes to a game of cards though, and therefore why there is a need to have a Ladies only team.
I play with a number of Ladies who are extremely good players, and who should all be striving to get into existing multi-sex teams, rather than trying to separate themselves by creating a Ladies only team. You"re all plenty good enough to make any of the existing teams - there"s really no need to create a new team for Ladies only to get a place in the competition.
I always question this whole Ladies only Poker thing anyway - in an inclusive society, I hate concepts that label and separate people by sex, race, colour, or creed.

i think its the way she worded it "I have put in a request for APAT to consider having a ladies team to represent them"
