Title: S4 SCOTLAND - WCOAP Team Championships
Post by: SirPercival on July 17, 2010, 09:55:26 AM
As announced by Des here  http://www.apat.com/forum/index.php?topic=6020.60 (ftp://http://www.apat.com/forum/index.php?topic=6020.60) I have the great honour of being captain of the Scottish team once again this year.

The event this year will take place as part of the World Championship of Amateur Poker festival, at Nottingham"s Dusk Till Dawn on August 26th & 27th

Des has confirmed that captains will be able to select any eligible player to represent their country, including themselves if appropriate.  Unfortunately, I can only pick 4 players so is it inevitable that there will be a number of people who will be disappointed at my decision. What I would say to them is that the The World Championship of Amateur Poker runs from 26th to 30th August so why not get your place secured and come down to support your fellow Scots. One thing is certain, you will have good time!

If you wish to be considered to play in the event please PM me and/or post here and I will be sure to add you to my ever growing list of possibilities. Many factors will be taken into account and it is not a requirement to post here to be selected.

APAT Rankings (from all seasons) will be considered in the selection process as will performances at other events, both live and online. I will only consider APAT members, but being non-active on this forum, or for example not being able to play certain APAT events, will NOT count against you.

Even if you aren"t able to play this year, please post your support to the team both here and during the event.

Cheers

Stuart

good luck to the team and the captain

i am unlikely to be down to the wcoap

so you will have to play with an under strengh team i am afraid

but even a scotish 4th team should be good enough to kick the english butt

From looking at the schedule it would appear so.  :-\

It also clashes with the HU event and the Stud.  :(

I would like to cast my hat into the ring to represent Scotland ...

Since last year I have become considerably more volatile ... though I lay great traps and tell great tales ... thus making me the ideal pick to play rags and slay the English ...

Had a great time playing for Team Scotland - a huge honour so thanks to Stuart for selecting me.

As usual at APAT events it was great to meet up with known faces and also meet loads of new ones who I"ve probably only previously played against online.

Was my first visit to DTD and I can"t wait to go back.

Well done to Wales, Canada and the Northern Ireland boys.

Now that the event is over I would like to post this PM I received as an application to be on the Scotland team. The sender has given permission for it to be posted but I will leave his/her name off. ;D

Och Aye the Noo, Bonnie Lad! Not actually being Scottish should not be a barrier to representing Scotland in this years champs. Having a sir name that actually starts with SCOThern, many many holidays in Scotland, being hardy enough to have actually been skiing in the Lecht, Glenshee, and Aviemore, admitting to loving "The Flower of Scotland" , being stupid enough to have been to Muirfield this year to watch the worst Calcutta Cup game for many a year, and having actually tasted and enjoyed Haggis, should all be reason enough to warrant selection. I await the call!!

I aim to give team captains a bit of light relief when agonising over their selections, I am sure it brought a smile to Stuarts face!
