Can I ask for clarification on how the ranking points will work this season please.

Also, how you qualify for Brian"s champion of champions event  ;)


The points situation will be published before Coventry Stu.

We"ll consult with Brian on the best way to qualify players into his Champions event. ;)

Quick question about the Home Internationals?

How many teams will be competing??  How many from each country??

Think we need 10+ England teams, i didnt qualify when there was 1 team, nor was picked when 3 teams so think 10+ and i may have a shot :) :) :)

BTW my missus is going mental, as she wants me to win the WSOP package, however that means making as many events as possible.....or just win every event i play.  Worryingly, thats prob more likely than getting a pass for some of the events!!! (Vegas, Scot, Ire, Prague and Newc)

Oh you APAT organisers, are you getting paid per divorce?? :)


We"ll get a captain per country finalised and then confirm how many teams per country will take part.  Starting position will be as per last year in Stoke.

The Vegas trips don"t include WSOP entries, but flights and hotels to have you there when the WSOP and all other festivals are taking place.  LPPL have been doing this for some time and the trips are very popular.

Divorce?  We live under the same threat?!  ;)

I feel like a kid in a toy shop at Christmas, I want that, that, that, that and that

Marvellous looking series, no wonder it took ages to put together. Many thanks to Des and the team.

100% agree with Dann , maybe we can get a block booking on the divorce lawyers.

Like Brian .. Nice to see the champions of champions brought back.. Brian suggested prehaps holding an event with all past champions, sounds great to me  ;D.. or failing that what about inviting those back who have been crowned champions since the last CoC held a couple of seasons ago, so gives those who havent had a chance to play in such a prestigious event?  ;)

Im sure it wouldnt mean that many more entrants into the field, and the awesome prize being offered would make for some great poker!! (pretty please xx)

How can it be something that has been brought back from a few seasons ago? Brian only suggested it 18 months ago?

Looks like I will be donating back most of my winnings from Wembley.
Really looking forward to a few of the stops.
I saw it questioned earlier but did not see the answer about where the reserve button is?
How do you qualify for the team? that would awesome to be part of it.

IMO the CoC has been introduced to make up for the lower than previous added value that is on offer from championship events.

I agree with Bri, Carl etc that a CoC event should exist for past winners. This should however be separate from the event for S7 winners and should be played for prestige (+a bit of cash) and no added value

Winners of events from S1-6 benefited from some super added value in the past, whereas S7 "only" get a seat in the WCOAP main

Hehe Stu yeah silly me didnt want to hijack Brians "new" concept..

Joking aside.. when was the last CoC?.. and since the last how many new inducuctions has there been?.. seems that quite a few may of missed out in playing this event, i must admit i was pretty gutted that there wasnt one last season at the WCOAP or other event.. As Rob has stated its not so much about the added value its the bragging rights, if there was a prize or trophy thrown into the mix all the better  ;D
