Congratulations to West Midlands on winning Season 5 league, and the foreseeable future leagues.
It was a miracle for Solent to run Walsall so close last time, but I can"t see it happening again, now that the dominant team in the league has been reinforced further. Not a very good decision.
Perhaps some of the other captains would be interested in clubbing together for a prize of some sort so our players have something to play for?

Rather negative statement, but perhaps you might feel the same as Birmingham did last year when we were up against the masses of the Solent team
Chipaccrual:
This discussion is all well and good, but the facts of the decision are such :-
Walsall and Birmingham pretty much overlap when it comes to a player catchment area, always have.
Many of the players from the two old clubs, could have easily argued that either was their "local" club.
The decision has nothing to do with who has in the past or will in the future win the league.
You are entitled to view my decision as a poor one if you wish, but I will not be changing it. And if anyone thinks it was made to help Brian and his team win the league again, you clearly do not know me very well at all.
I am pretty sure the West Midlands team will get outnumbered by the likes of Luton, Solent and Sunderland this season, to name but three. Most of the clubs have a pretty decent catchment area of their own now to recruit new players and introduce people to APAT games.
We run a well organised and fun community league, that gets very good feedback from all over the poker community. The games have a good structure, with a sensible buyin, and some great added value seats.
As I have mentioned elsewhere, I have revamped the scoring system this season, to try and improve the balance a bit, and negate the volume issue that so many people have concerns over.
This will be announced sometime over the weekend.

Leigh,
Slightly off the topic.
Just one question, the Season 5 announcement merged the two London teams, any news on this ?
Cheers

You already have something to play for.... the league. Rather than recruiting loads of players and trying to play the numbers game why not get a core of really good players together, that way you"ll be in the same position as our team and be in a position to challenge us? If there aren"t that many good players in the Solent area then so be it.
Perhaps you"d be interested in clubbing together for a prize of some sort so we can put our best 10 players together and play for that as well as the league?
duke3016:
To be perfectly honest I could not give a flying shyte if any team has loads of players, I don"t even care if all the players in said teams are "good" players. Most teams will have a nucleus of players that could and will match any other team. And while I do agree that more players from the same team reduces the variance aspect, I am neither upset nor worrried about the "merging" of any two teams.
Bring it on I say ;D ;D ;D
