Coming Soon - National Online Cup

[fandango]

Option B sounds good.. Could add extra spark at the table if you get drawn versus a table with a couple of your opposition  .. Draw could always be recorded a couple of days or so before game then posted on YouTube with a link to be viewed..?

If you want simple but effective I say A. But I really love the Idea of B, would add a beautiful little twist and make it a bit more exciting every round!! B final answer  

[BOINGBLITZ]

Option B every time....and like Leighs idea too  

[1Goldfinger]

As a really tight player, I would still prefer Option A as it suits my style better!

Just thinking out loud for a moment regarding options A and B..... how about an option C....

Teams drawn against each other and run as a straight knockout, same as option B..... but rather than having a single MTT, what about having 8 handed STTs where each STT contains the 4 players from each team seated randomly.  Now that could make for some interesting team play opportunities.....

[Tiger-flash]

i don"t think there are 4 players in my area, at least there haven"t been 4 in the last online league, (i am currently in munich/bavaria) so if i would like to do this, can i not join a team not in my region, should someone take me?

Didnt you play for Notts before joining Europe? move back to the UK and join East Midlands lol, i would have ya!

Did consider that, but would most definitely be delegating the admin on that one.  Trying to ensure the right players join the right tourney would be an absolute nightmare to manage, let alone setup in the lobby.

I had thought of something along the lines of:

Would it be possible to set this up as a "shootout" type comp with one round played each week.

Each player drawn on a table from which they earn points as per a STT.

Say 8 handed points 1-8

As the teams are only 4 strong the chances of being drawn with teammates at same table is small.

Points are tallied and top 50% teams advance to the next week, rinse and repeat

Hope this all makes sense. if it"s to be on Stars I"m sure they should be able to accomodate

would also like to see a plate comp for the teams losing out in first week to keep interest going?

Thoughts?

awwwwwwwwwwww that"s very nice thank you  

Yes I played for Notts, before the rule came up that a player needs to play either where is born or where lives, and both is currently Germany.

I will finally move to the UK this year, but I think it is not east midlands, more likely essex and i do not know which area this is lol, I would be happy to play for east midlands though, i loved the notts team

just out of interest as we live in modern times    could not the Internet count as region, for this 4 player team knockout cup? As this means I could play in any team of APAT members who are on my facebook friendlist  

I would vote for Option A

[Santino67]

6th-9th July I"m at T In The Park and APAT Cork running.....assuming it won"t be that week then?

Just a couple of thoughts:

- Pref the games not at weekends as they would clash with various live games. I hear there are also some people who have what they call "family time" then.

- Ban anyone else who uses the phrase "rinse and repeat".
