Hi All,
I have had some feedback from a couple of guys regarding announcing the squad for team England for ECOAP.
The general concencios was that people wanted to know sooner than later who was/ wasn"t selected so that travel and accommodation could be arranged well in advanced.
So as things stand I think it would be fair to give those selected the optimum time possible to arrange flights accommodation etc to get the best deals.
Although no announcement has been given by APAT on Hotel/card room where the event is to take place I think it is safe to say its 100% running so flights can be snapped up ASAP.
So I will be announcing final squad for ECOAP a couple of days after the home internationals..
Hope this is helps, and good luck to all applicants.

Thanks Carl.
An official announcement/confirmation would be VERY helpful for those of us who are planning to attend...whether selected or otherwise.
Especially as the official site says it"s on: http://www.praguepokerfestival.com/#tab-EventSchedule

To be fair...December is still a long way off but I would have hoped that the venue & date would have been confirmed by now.
...but perhaps (as seems likely) there are good reasons for the delay.

Have booked my hotel - next door to this festival.
Thankfully it has free cancellation until the day before so if I decide not to go (50% atm) I"m sorted.

Akcent Hotel - hotels.com double room for 6 nights (cheaper flights) for £200 with breakfast buffet.

Aah yes, tempting.
I am considering that one, I just prefer a proper bath with a shower rather than just a shower stall.
It"s a size thing. :)
But cheap is cheap and no taxis to and from the venue.

From the planning/rumour thread
Taken a punt on this and if the event does not take place, I can think of worse places to be 3 weeks before xmas.
I am on the 715 from Stansted with easyjet arriving 10.05 Friday 6th December return 10.40 on the Monday, cost £103
Staying at Red & Blue Design hotel, thanks to a special offer with avios, £169 for triple room for 3 nights with brekkie so circa £160 per head for the total journey for myself Paul Gildea, & Lee Wyatt.
Checked out the public transport and a 72 hour pass is about £11 or a cab from airport to centre £18.
See you in one of the many bars for a .5 litre or two.
Ps I am aware this is off thread, as by the time I arrive the team tournament will have started, just thought the information would be handy for those planning to attend who were not part of the team event.

T"is just me but until APAT confirm and/or I am selected I will be holding off on the flights.
My ideal hotel is this one. http://www.nhprague.com/en/
It"s a chain hotel (which I like), it"s reasonably priced [albeit not as cheap as the Akcent], has proper bathrooms and is a 10 minute walk from the casino.
I guess I"ll have to write the Travel Tips but here"s what I hope will be a useful map.

I"m hanging fire as well, will book up probs next month with the new Mrs TC, treating it as a 5-6 day jolly after I"ve raved about it soooooo much with a weekend* of poker thrown in at the end. Will pop by and cheer on team England and the other motley crews of course.. and share a beer or two.. be rude not to :)
* Weekend = depending on beer consumption weekend definition may well be defined as an hour or so
Best food ever.

In one of my all time fav cities on the planet.
Last time I was there was a mad dash for a goulash during a stop over on the way home from APAT Estonia.
Can"t wait x

Reserved Akcent Hotel in Prague for 5 days just in case.
Not many left on Booking.com so getting in early (with free cancellation) might be best.
