So Day 2 of The Counties and we have 8 x 10-handed tables, with 20 teams represented with 4 players each - all 4 individually playing an STT - and the winner of each STT will qualify their team for a 10k stack on the final table - if a team wins multiple STTs, then they will still only be represented on the final table with ONE member, but they would have multiple stacks - ie if a team wins 3 STTs then they would have a 30k starting stack on the final table.

Seat draw for Day 2 below - once a team loses 1 player, then that team is free to 'tag' as they wish between all team members...
