[PantsMan]

What time does the tournament start?  Need to know for transport etc

2:30pm on each day.

Please be there early on the Saturday, so we can get team photos etc.

You sure you want team photos?  Have you seen the BCPC lineup? Hope you"ve got a good soft focus lens! And of course an anti-glare one for Steves head.

That"s just a vicious rumour. We have Steve in the team as he tends to donk off all his chips early. Then we get him to rail us and stand behind opponents. Every so often you"ll see him bend down. That"s so we can see the reflection of the players hole cards. He"s currently in talks with the WPT about the use of StevesHeadCam for future events.

hmmm what was the last team event we entered? uhhh Bolton? Who made final table?? Meeeeee.    And which team mates stayed in Bolton after their early exits to do the team thing and provide rail? Somewhere between none and not many!

Perhaps gonna wear a woolly hat in Blackpool

Team play is not allowed. Same as for all our team events. Absolutely no soft play

errrr......

Rule 15 Amendment

This rule has been amended as follows :-

We have clarified that Collusion and Chipdumping is against the rules of the league and any player found doing so, will receive a points penalty against their team.  Any accusations will be reviewed on a case by case basis.

We have dropped the inclusion of soft play from this rule.  Soft play between team mates is an accepted part of the team aspect of this league, and all players should be aware of this.

Disclosure of hole cards whilst there is still action to go in a hand is considered collusion, and we would ask all players to refrain from doing this.

Should have played for LPPL* then cos the whole team stayed to support me. A few others even travelled in from Yorkshire on the Sunday.

For his team-mates who missed it, here is Steve reflecting on the final table:

errrrr all you like, the APAT live team games are no soft play and always have been

Half the prize pool once again here is to the Individual finishing positions, which is incentive enough

Selective memory? Me & Matt stayed around for you and Will on the final day plus Will stayed around after he was busted till after you were busted!
Mal and Chris (not apat regulars) went early. Tony took the chance to see his mum I think. Not sure about Tod.

100% of the prize pool in the league games goes to the individual finishing positions, so I"m not sure that this argument stands up. Top prize in div 1 last sunday was over $400 for $11 entry, so not insignificant. In fact, one could argue that there"s LESS to gain by playing as a team in the online event than there is in the live event.

I too don"t understand why there should be any difference in the soft play rule as written above between online and live.

No Andy, not selective memory. Somewhere between none and not many - there were just two left to rail Will and I on day two (you and Matt - and much appreciated btw)

Would have made the winning team photo interesting if we had somehow scraped the win

[AJDUK]

I think 50% of the team still being there is pretty good, since most of us donked off well before the close of day 1  
Once the team can"t win I don"t see why anybody needs to stick around tbh, since any remaining players are then only playing for themselves (assuming no team deal).

Really looking forward to this. Should be a good one.

Well, i wasn"t there for that one, else i"d have railed as i always do. And i did say "tends" to donk them off early.


I look forward to the wooly hat.
