Me please.....for a rookie spot.

I"ll match my APATness against anyone"s.

I"ve won a PLO side event and have a bronze in it at a WCOAP as well.

I"ve been known to go deep(ish) in APAT events too.

Love to be considered.

Hi Guys

To everyone that"s applied, thank you. You should have recieved a "standard" PM from me confirming that we"ve received it.

We already have loads of applicants so the captains" task is going to be really difficult.

However, KEEP THOSE APPLICATIONS COMING.

We want the strongest players and best APATers that England has to offer  ;D

There are still loads of you out there who should be applying. We have 12 spots available for you lot, so come on, let"s get them applications in and lets give ourselves the best chance of getting as many medals as possible in the England cabinet, I for one have had enough of the welsh and Irish having bragging rights!!!

Post by: AceOnTheRiver on October 22, 2012, 18:09:17 PM
Right, I am now up to speed and everyone who has applied should have received a PM

galvo68 - to apply you need to send a PM (see 1st post on this thread).

I think we now have enough applicants to make around 7 (SEVEN)* quality teams, but keep "em coming!! The three of us are in a highly privileged position so feel free to make the task as hard as possible.

*Remember when they used to do that on the vidi-printer?

Just one small request from me. Can you all make sure you are putting your full name on the applications please? Just I"m rubbish at linking people with their apat screen names!!! Many thanks.

Keep them flooding in though, there is still time and every single person who applies will be given full consideration. This is not going to be easy!!!!

What Stu Said...

And one request from me:

If anyone who has applied has now changed their circumstances and cannot make Stoke, Please, PLEASE let us know by PM.

Around 30 people are going to be dissappointed when the announcements come and this is proving a really tough task so we"d hate to have any false starts.

Good luck to the 3 captains. I think 40 applicants is a bit more than what they were expecting and the unenviable task just got harder!

The others will have to wait for the tournament to be disappointed!

Seriously - good luck to the England teams. England captain is the hardest job in these competitions.

 I have applied, but i will say GL to all applicants.  Whether APAT Die Hards or solid players or fish, hope that the Team Event is played in the right spirits and that we/you/us take the title back from the bloody Welsh!!!

Once the deadline has passed, this is what"s going to happen:

The three captains will each start a separate thread announcing their teams. We will not be notifying unsuccessful applicants by PM, so the announcements will be their notification - I have consulted previous England team threads and spoken directly to previous captains and feel that this is the best way forward. We have been given a great honour and as commented before, this is the really difficult part and from a personal point of view I can sincerely say that there will be some really good players, and some really good friends who will be unsuccessful but I do not want to enter into any specific debates as to the reason for any individual non-selection - I hope that can be understood by all concerned.

What we will be doing as captains is deciding on some "reserves" and the "1st reserve" will be contacted by PM to ascertain whether they are prepared to be effectively "on standby" should any member of England A, B or C have to drop out.... of course we are very hopeful that this does not happen  :)

England C will be announced at midnight tonight, due to my being at work all day tomorrow!
