There are 11 teams in Div 1 - therefore each team makes up 9% of the league table. In the first three weeks of this current league season, West Mids had 23/216 entrants = 11% of the field, 16/161 = 10%, and 13/148 = 9%. Therefore, I make the point that we were not overly heavy or large - we had the average team size. There were other teams larger than WM.

I wouldn"t bother Steve. I pointed out last season (with the numbers to prove it) that despite all the whining about Walsall we didn"t actually have this huge team that people were claiming. This year it"s because the team became West Midlands (despite the fact people from either team could quite easily have joined together in one team anyway). They could change it back to Walsall and Birmingham, we could all join Birmingham and they"d still complain. I reckon we just change the name to BCPC, REALLY wind them up! :)

10 teams, one division. Gives each of those 10 teams a good crack at equal-ish numbers
Either 3 six week leagues or one big league
Team and Individual added value
I know you"d lose some team identity, but at least the smaller teams get put into groupings that have a chance....
(not an official view, nor a formal proposal, just throwing it out there)

Works for me, and I"m impressed that you even managed to post the end of season league table there, before concept even accepted and league started - nice one!
Jon MW:
You keep interest in a league by making each month have some kind of prize.
Relating that to a team tournament -
If you had a 9 month league for example
Each month the individual winner gets entry into an end of season Team Championships qualifier
The Team Championships qualifier has a prize fund so that everybody wins some added money
The individual who wins this sit and go is the captain for their team - who have now just won entry into the team championships.
This would provide a financial incentive (but not too much for the sponsor to get scared of), if an individual wins more than one month then the prize pool gets shared out between less people at the end, and if a team wins more than one month they have an extra chance of winning the final stt for their team to get a place in the team championships
It would need some finessing, but this could keep interest up enough to stop such a dramatic fallaway in numbers.

Lose team identity with a Scottish Team :o Not a chance! we"d be even more proud to play ;D
Sounds like a good suggestion Rich, even though the Glasgow team is currently going strongly. This is thanks mainly to a great recruitment drive from Capt Gerry (and NB just as importantly other team members), and good momentum running up to and following the Scottish APAT with it"s Glasgow venue. Our mini APAT Glasgow team event at the weekend (also attended by members from other APAT teams) was a great way to keep this momentum going and we"re already in early stages of planning our next get together.
In saying that, I remember the days when the Glasgow team was much smaller and there was a feeling of "letting the team down" when I missed the online games (too regularly as I work 5 weekends in each 8 week rota) and I fear this may also be the case now with the smaller teams. Why not make the teams bigger then to level the playing field out a bit? It"ll never be a perfect ratio, whichever way it"s organised but the current scenario of comparing teams like Glasgow and Dundee show"s a huge gulf in points probability regardless of any team members" individual abilities.
Agree it would be a great idea to examine the individual AV for the league also, therefore negating any drop off from people who may be performing and scoring without much contribution from their team to the league points.
