Will there be a separate thread about an APAT Team?
If so, Before or after the Sep 1st Deadline?
BCPC, including pub-poker individual Champion Tony Trippier, are up for this one. See ya all in Luton.

I wouldn"t worry about that. He"ll be picking no one if he can"t follow simple instructions. ;)
Does the fact that HE had already clicked and sent the details give us a glimmer of hope ??
Gambling Network is a fairly small forum but due to feedback from last year every regular poster there wants to play in Luton.
In the unlikely event you do not manage to find enough teams to play in this event then Gambling Network would be keen to sneak a second team into the mix.
ShrewdPoker (http://shrewdpoker.47.forumer.com/) would like a team please!

TKP pls. Forum to follow
Orange army are taking the NPF down innit ;o)

How many teams have registered so far? If you"re struggling for entrants, I think Bristol Meetup Group can probably get 2 teams together if needed.

Irene, we"ll take a Sky Poker team I would think, not a new forum representing one of the team groupings within Sky Poker
It is an event likely to be oversubscribed, so its "whole" forums only

As always.
I had an idea today so I thought I"d best write it down, feel free to tell me why it won"t work. There seem to be plenty of players in this every year who make it through to the last 50, score points for their team but have no chance to make it to the team medals so only have the solo prize to go for. Likewise, there are always plenty of forums (fora?) who apply but don"t make the cut. Why not make it so that the top 10/15 teams in this year get automatically into next years event, while the rest have to playoff online, say 6-8 weeks beforehand, for the remaining places along with the other teams who wish to enter, same format (8 players per team, screen names announced before the event) except that with online results every team member"s position could count. This way, everyone who scores points in the main event will be affecting their team, and also every forum interested has a chance of playing.

Well Rich, there"s something for you to chew on............ imo a decent concept.

Sure...but we"ve hashed this over before.
The only team (AFAIK) guaranteed a place are the previous year"s winners (Thank God).
EDIT: Except for, perhaps, an APAT Team.
Every forum/team has to re-apply and while there will be repeats they are all judged on what they can bring to APAT. Once again, this event is like no other in APAT (except, perhaps, for this year"s Pub Event).
It"s not about making the existing membership happy, it"s about bringing new people into the APAT fold.
Guaranteeing the top 10/15 teams from last year get in doesn"t do that.
Factor in that the "online" element suggested doesn"t work for forums that have drop-outs or want to have the option of picking from a larger player base and the whole thing falls apart.
Like I said, this has all been hashed over more than once.

Agree with the APAT forum team getting a wildcard (if needed)

And when you can"t get a full team from your forum, making up the balance of your team from APAT regs does?

Why can"t you pick 8 players from however large a player base you have? You"ll have to do it for the live event! As for dropouts, doesn"t every forum have a chance of that?
Like I said, this has all been hashed over more than once.
I think the relegation/promotion idea is definitely worth considering.
If the bottom 3 teams were relegated it would give those who were definitely getting a place longer to plan and schedule, it would also guarantee that there would have to be a new mix of teams each year - without it being a completely new competition.
I don"t see a problem with relegation of the bottom 3 teams and promotion decided by APAT management - i.e. similar to now but with guaranteed relegation but with longer for the teams definitely in to be able to plan.

Jon, I see where you"re coming from but again I say, this isn"t a league or "top 10%" thing that APAT are running here.
Let us suppose that Larry Murphy"s ( ;D) experiences an explosion of members and they all love playing poker. Perhaps only one or two them have ever heard of APAT but (and this is the overriding factor) they all want to be involved where they haven"t been before.
By letting them in (perhaps ousting Blonde?) APAT might gain hundreds of new eager members.
Under any of the proposed schemes this just wouldn"t happen.
Forums/Teams don"t earn a place in this specific event by being the best at online poker or even live poker, it"s about growing APAT and the criteria for entry are completely different
I"m more than happy for Des/Richard decide on the best way forward on this type of event.

OK, you have me there but it was an exceptional situtaion. And thank God you did Paulie lolQuote

But you want to the whole forum to play the online element in the hope of being selected? What if only 4 of them are any good but finish well in the online...does the whole team get selected? How you select your team is up to you, play a prequalifier qualifier, pick your best online players then change them for the live event if you like, or some other way, its up to the team captain. All I"m saying is you"ll have to pick 8 for the live event from the whole forum regardless of size, why not the qualifier?

errrr really, did you read what I wrote?
not sure if this has been asked; Why is this not january like normal?
The reason that we moved this event was due to having several away legs in the second half of this season. So for example we have legs in Ireland, USA, Czech Republic in addition to a pro-am. To have the UK Team event in January would have meant a lot of our regular players not getting a game between the WCOAP ending and the end of January.
Are you aware that you clash with the Boyle Poker IPO in Dublin?

Aye, we were a narrow 3rd last year (should have been 2nd/1st really, but having AA vs KK aipf teammate vs teammate didn"t help matters! ;))

Application in for Apat and name on the list for blonde ;)
