I'm sure I'll be there railing so I suppose I can make up numbers if needed (if I can scrounge the buy in from somewhere.)

Didnt you play some of season 1's APAT Games?

You'd be welcome in our team anytime!

[AvonGirl]

No, I was chief rail bird.

And thanks.

Tbh, I wouldn't think either of us can 100% commit to this for the same reason we can't commit to Copenhagen - in case we have a race meeting to dress up for.

Re: APAT UK Forum Championship « Reply #115 on: May 30, 2008, 05:23:38 pm » Quote We have listened to a good deal of feedback and the popular wish is for this event to be based around a full APAT MTT structure. This would not be my first choice for running the event, but in asking for feedback it is our responsibility to act on it. So a 200 player MTT it is. With regards to the number of forums entered, it's life that some forums are larger than others and may command an extra team, call it a larger squad if you will. We'll just have to see how the final entry list pans out. With regards to points scoring, points will be allocated to the final 50 players. We will be looking to establish a final team and captains list next week and will be issuing final details thereafter. One thing is for sure, this is going to be a great event.

Still places??

[runadrum]

should be ok for this now - the filly we put into training didn't like being a racehorse !

[morlspin]

Im sure there allowing more than 1 team per forum so if we need 2 teams we can accomodate 20 players, id also like a few reserves just incase of pull outs

Same here. If you're really desperate nearer the time, I live locally so give me a shout. But I haven't played any APAT games so probably don't qualify.

[morlspin]

Anyone can play

As soon as you sign up for a tourney, log onto their forum etc etc your a member of APAT!

Hi guys,

The top three teams will take score prize money, with the individual event winner taking a GUKPT expensed entry ($3k). The winning forum owner will get a further added £1k to treat the group to some goodies at a later date and the Cup.


so are we gonna have enough for two teams? or will it be 1 team and a couple of reserves?
