Couple of queries re the structure of the team event please.

1: The original post (quoted below) states 6 handed STTs with a 2:30 start on the Friday - the player briefing states 9 handed STTs with a 5:30 start. I presume the format has been revised since the original post, but just wanted confirmation of start time to ensure nobody misses out.

Phase 1 - Day 1 - 2.30pm

8 x 6 player No Limit Hold Em Sit & Go Matches - 3,000 chips - 30 minute clock
1st - 5pts, 2nd - 4pts, 3rd - 3pts, 4th - 2pts, 5th - 1pt, 6th - 0pts
Each country will participate in 4 Sit & Go Matches

2: The structure for points in the player briefing doesn"t look right.... per quote below, 1st gets 9 points, 2nd gets 8 points, down to 8th gets 1 point and 9th gets 0 points..... that doesn"t add up. If it"s a sliding scale where 1st gets 9 points, then 8th should get 2 points and 9th should get 1 point.

Day One

5:30pm 4 x 9 handed NLHE STT   (1st=9pts, 2nd=8pts........8th=1pt, 9th=0pts)
8:30pm 4 x 9 handed PLO STT   (1st=9pts, 2nd=8pts........8th=1pt, 9th=0pts)

Looks very much like three teams have withdrawn from the tournament.

1.  I believe Des posted that based on the WCOAP structure and the anticipated 12+ teams.  Instead we have gone for a later start on the Friday, which helps out DTD, means players aren"t playing in a 3/4 empty cardroom and will also give players more flexibility for travel arrangements and hotel checkin etc.

Apologies if this is a late change, I wasn"t even aware we had publicised any start time,  and has impacted on peoples plans.

2.  Good spot, have amended player briefing

Are there three teams still unconfirmed ? Just wondering...

I"m not sure if this is the right place, but I would just like to thank the APAT guys for a brilliantly run Team Event.  I have played a few weekend festivals before, but having teammates to cheer on, and the banter between teams, adds a lot of fun.  I know there must have been a mountain of work to get it running so smoothly.

Hope to see you all at some future APAT events.
