Title: APAT Launch New Facebook Group
Post by: Des on November 18, 2011, 17:45:01 PM

Due to Facebook restrictions on Groups, APAT will be moving all of our activity to a Facebook page, which is more suitable for our use. As a result we will shortly close our existing group.

To ensure you stay up to date with the latest APAT tournament news and the announcement of Season 6, please click through and "like" our new page:

When a group goes to 5,000 members, you cannot send messages to the members.  Plus groups don"t offer any stats, smart usernames and they have limited promotional abilities.  I expect us to really start pushing hard on FB next year.
