I tried apprentice once and didn't really like it. Not very prettyful and too much stuff that has nothing to do with playing Pokemon on it.
Redshark is a bit clumsy, but at least it's clear what to do. I reckon anyone using apprentice for the first time will misplay just cos they are not used to the program while the player who is used to it zips along at 90 mph with all their hotkeys.
RA,
What is the definitive ruling on this please? What happens if there is a refusal by a player to use one or the other program?

Can we drop if it isn't possible to play that night for you? If so...

P.S. If there is a round tonight I cannot enter. But it's Christmas Eve, right?
Fact: I have never been able to connect to someone with Redshark.
If you want good players to join these kind of tournaments, you're going to have to make it Apprentice as the default program.
those are the reasons people _like_ apprentice.
it isn't flashy, with unneeded pokemon art and stuff. you can hover over a card and a text summary displays- more than adequate. too much stuff about not playing pokemon? like, some of the terms are slightly different? there are macros that have to do with magic? that does HINDER the experience of the program whatsoever.
when we get down to it, redshark is more intensive, in terms of space and memory, and is SLOWER TO USE. appr games are much faster and more fluid.
the only thing that redshark has going for it is card art- stuff that isnt needed.
