I think you should be pleased to have the additional players in these Debbie. They are no different really to players like me who play the odd one if I"m around but am unlikely to play enough times in one week to qualify for anything. They (we) are helping to keep your added value going. Also they help to swell the numbers towards the end of the week when people who are just playing for points and who got a poor start are likely to drop out. Games consisting of the small number who play every night might not encourage the site to continue with this.

I agree entirely with John. ???

It actually goes a bit further than that...remember that anyone who had an account with our previous sponsors over previous seasons are also members...plus anyone who now has an 888 account are also members...plus anyone who has ever played a live event.
It adds up.
Yes, there are 7638* "official" forum members but you can multiply that by a significant factor when you add in all the "associated" APAT members.
* just checked.

OK so you are saying that because they are on 888 they are a member of APAT , in that case as we are on 888 also we should be able to play any of the tourneys on there that are password protected, AHHH don"t think so, We can"t play any of these so why?? should they be able to play apat tourneys
a password should be in place and if anyone wants to play join APAT to get it then no complaints !!

Because that"s not comparing the same things.
What other organisations/groups may have agreed with 888 is outside of the scope of the APAT agreement (I"d guess). Just because we are members of 888 doesn"t mean we"re part of the other groups.
That"s the deal....anyone on 888 IS an APAT member so they can play an APAT tourney....end of. The point of these type of things is to drive 888 membership and, if we"re lucky, spread the word about APAT.
Slapping on a password does neither of these things.
I"m happy to give up any perceived "exclusivity" in light of the added value...not that I"m playing the Bunch of Fives anyway.
