Look up the town where you live on Wikipedia. In the light blue box on the right hand side it tells you which region it is in. Wiki"s regions match ours so you shouldn"t go far wrong with that.

Its not perfect though Andy... this is where I used to live

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yarm

Has the Region as "North East" but actually for "ceremonial purposes is in the county of North Yorkshire". Glad I moved over the other side of the river (literally a few hundred yards) a few years ago now officially "North East" on both counts.. not that I wouldn"t want to play for Yorkshire of course.

"Ceremonial" normally relates to "historical" - I assume Wiki"s list of regions are based on current administrative boundaries so should probably still be right even when they disagree like this.

Assuming it"s OK I play for the South West? Grew up their and lived there for most my life (Poole), but am currently in the military and am regularly moving around. I do however have a permanent address where I am whenever i"m on leave that is in the south west and have my pokerstars account listed there.

To be honest I"m not sure if it even matters, but is there any reason why most of Team Europe aren"t disclosing their surname ? If it doesn"t matter so be it, just vaguely curious...  :)

I was consulted about this prior to it occuring and agreed based on the request details.  Would be good if we can leave it there.   :)
