<description><![CDATA[ So I recently was approached by my team captain who I will be honest has helped me out about 3 or 4 times this past session. I will not list names or division for anonymity. However, I was on same team last session and paid pretty much every week. We made tier 2 championship and I wasnt able to show up because I was stuck somewhere else. <br />I guess my first question is should I receive the money my team received for making it that far?? <br />           I was under the impression that if you helped a team make it to that point you would get your share. If we had made it to other rounds when I wasnt there I would have understood not getting that money.<br /><br />Secondly, when I was approached about the 30 dollars I owed my team captain, I simply brought up " I was just wondering, I never received the 25 dollars for tier 2 last session." I was going to go on to ask if we could apply that to what I owed but I never got the chance. <br /><br />Am I in the wrong here and I thought every team did it the same way, Ive only been shooting 2 years and the teams Ive been on have all given the money to the team evenly before we even made it to the next round. <br />If some a team is going to do it differently should the captain not let everyone on the team know that they better show up for the playoffs?[8]<br /><br />"sometimes you gotta start high , sometimes you gotta start low"]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ This weekend the APA held the singles regionals. This was a complete bust. They opened at 10:00 and I my first match was a bye. My second match started at 1:00 pm. Since I lost my first match my next match was schedule to begin at 10:00 pm. This is just not fair. You have to wait 8 hours to shoot again. Had I won my next match would have begun a 8:00 pm (six hours later). The reason the matches were scheduled this late was because there were a large number of players participating and they wanted to get done my 9:00 pm on Sunday. I feel that the period between matches was unreasonable. Who wants to sit around all day and watch other matches while in a bar. I decided to forfeit the evening match. I will not be partisipating in anymore tournaments as long as they continue to have these ridicous schedules between games. The APA needs to come up with a better way to conduct these games. Just my opinion.[}:)]<br /><br />Ronald Brundage]]></description>

<title>Introducing Avatars &amp;amp; Blog Enhancements!!</title>

<description><![CDATA[ <b>AVATARS!</b><br /><br />Yes, we heard you!!! We've heard those calls to further personalize the forum and allow members to have an avatar appear when they post. Until recently we've resisted the idea for a number of reasons; the primary being members could not upload images and cross linking slows down page loading because the website has to go out and get the image. <br /><br />Well now everyone has the ability to create their own personal gallery on the website and post their own member blogs. We thought "What better way to encourage the use of these features!!" <br /><br />You'll notice both the forum and blog now show avatars for the poster and the those who reply. Clicking on the photo will bring up a full size version without taking you away from the page! The arrows below the picture will allow you to scroll through the Avatars of other members. Now you can get a visual of who is posting... put a face to a name... get a glimpse of who they are and maybe find out if it's someone you know or have seen... or someone you WILL know the next time you see them.<br /><br />The avatar is actually your profile picture, and while you can still remotely link, we suggest you create your personal gallery and upload an image for your profile. Once uploaded you'll see an icon below the image to set it as your profile picture. You can also use the regular photo gallery the same way. Simply search for your member number and use the same icon. <br /><br /><b>BLOGS!</b><br /><br />To further enhance the blog module we've given members the ability to control the blog a little more. The Author can now lock their blog, and not allow comments (they will have to unlock it to edit it too, but they can prevent members from posting to it!). Members can also delete posts from other members (not admins or moderators) if they don't like them. The blog is yours!!! You can also delete a blog once it's been replied to (the only caveat is you have to delete the replies first - if there are any). Yes, we know there are some limitations here, but they were necessary. We hope you understand.<br /><br />You can also easily link images from your member gallery into you blog! In the post Format: Options look for the (<img src="http://apapool.com/common/forumimages/icon_membergallery.gif" border="0">) Icon. You can also post YouTube Videos in your blog using the(<img src="http://apapool.com/common/forumimages/icon_TUBE.gif" border="0">) icon.<br /><br />When reading a blog, at the very top to the right you'll see a few more icons and a list of websites you can share the blog on. If you find a member's post interesting share it on your favorite website or email it to a friend. You can also search for blogs by specific players and get a list of blogs by date. <br /><br />Comments, questions and bug reports are always welcome!<br /><br />Enjoy everyone!<br /><br /><br />Bob Swauger<br /><b><i>TEAM APA Web Admin</i></b><br /><img src="../common/images/knslogo.jpg" border="0"><br />]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ Greetings Everyone,<br /><br />Aside from the obvious visual changes to the site there are quite a few new features for you to use and enjoy... and there could be many more on the way, so stay tuned!!!<br /><br />Here are just a few of the new features: <br /><br /><b>Personal Photo Galleries</b> - use the link in the left menu and click the folder icon in the upper right to create your own gallery and upload images. Each member has 3 megs of space, or approximately 85 images! You can even select one of these uploaded images into your member profile! <br /><br /><b>Member Friends list</b> - Integrated into the private message system you can now invite members to be your friends, similar to Facebook. At present it isn't much more than a list that will appear below in your member profile, but there are big plans for this feature, so stay tuned!<br /><br /><b>Restyled Stats Area</b> - At present there are no new stats. The stats are just re-organized into collapsible tables that are printer friendly (just use your browser's built in print function). <br /><br /><b>Member WebLogs</b> - You can now blog about your team and your APA experience in your own personal weblog! Your blog has it's own RSS feed that anyone can subscribe to it and post comments as well... you can even link it to your MySpace or Facebook account. We all know lots of interesting things happen during league play! Now you can share those experiences with others; we just ask that you keep it positive. Enjoy!<br /><br />... and there are many other changes. Please take some time to look around and let us know what you think!<br /><br />Enjoy everyone!<br /><br /><br />Bob Swauger<br /><b><i>TEAM APA Web Admin</i></b><br /><img src="../common/images/knslogo.jpg" border="0"><br />]]></description>
