There is not a great deal of difference between the volume of players "signed" for West Mids as there is "signed" for Solent.... and I"d be surprised if there was any significant difference between the number who start the first tourney for each team.....

There is a HUGE difference..!! If you have 100 people signed up for your team, and manage to drum up half of those to play each week... Then the teams who have 30 signed up who also manage to drum up half are at a massive disadvantage. Flooding a team game with massive numbers is always going to put numbers of people in the points scoring positions.. May I say, Like last season... And now, you have been made bigger with the addition of the Birmingham team, who my have had a low turnout last season, might actually get more players now that they are in a larger team with more chance of winning.
Its all about numbers, more in the squad gives you more chance of high turnout, gives you more chance of winning the highest points each week. I am honestly surprised that the joining of 2 teams together was allowed.. Different story if it was 2 of the very small teams to make one team similar in size to the other teams.

Carl you missed my point. I do agree that teams with bigger lists of players will likely have more players per tournament, and therefore a greater chance of success..... and for that reason, I hope Leigh's new approach to scoring will help to redress or balance.
BUT, the comment I made that you quoted, was that there is not great deal of difference between the volume of players "signed" for West Mids as there is "signed" for Solent. I wasn"t comparing to any other teams - was merely responding to John Murray"s earlier remark.

I wasn"t objecting to the number of players they have - I was objecting to the strength of their team. In my opinion, West Midlands have too many exceptionally strong players and that sort of thing shouldn"t be encouraged.

We already did - I signed for the WM team.... should bring their standard down a bit.

i believe it would go against the APAT spirit to stop any new member winning the added value seat that there poker skills had just won
