Can we please have confirmation that the Team Event in Stoke does have Individual Ranking points attached for the Top 18.

There was a post earlier in the year that stated it would, but as lots of things have changed from Season 7 announcements, id like to make sure.

Also, how will the points work now we have 40 more players involved??  Is it still Top 100 earn points?

Cheers in Advance.

IMHO ranking points shocked never be applied to team events as some contenders may find themselves disadvantaged due to having no affiliation to any team

[AceOnTheRiver]

Regarding the Sunday passport event, can you advise:

When will registration open?
When will the start time be confirmed?

Completely agree, although i am certain it was advertised with Ranking points attached.

I picked my team to include as many players at the top of the Rankings to ensure they had a chance.

I"ve searched and can"t find it. Deffo saw it as it"s how I decided to pick my team. Wouldn"t have imagined it.
Should have points tho, I mean you can get points when playing for your country, which only a select group get that opportunity, so this event shouldn"t be any diff.

This tournament is played total different to other games especially when down to the last 4/3 tables, should not have points connected to this game, plus this is open to all not just amateurs

I think you only get Player of the Series points when playing for your country to offset the other events that are taking place simultaneously. I don"t think ranking points for the season have been issued.

And?

This is where it was stated that they would apply: http://www.apat.com/forum/index.php?topic=13991.msg226405#new

In the section headed "Notes": "Top 5 individual players in UKCOAP, ECOAP & WCOAP team event will earn ranking points".

I"m pretty sure it has never been stated that points would apply to the Forum Team event, Dann. However, I cannot see why they wouldn"t be. Could APAT please tell us the reason why?

Please allow me 24 hours to investigate further to clarify the way ahead.

Any idea which day the seat draw will be announced ?

[Paulie_D]

Any idea which day the seat draw will be announced ?

On the day, I would imagine, once teams have arrived.

Pay attention Paulie, read the OP! I think Ian was asking Tom for clarification.

...
As teams/players are buying in in advance then the table draw will be done the weekend before the event and posted to the forum asap thereafter (when received from the venue).

Also what time?

I read somewhere it was 1.00 but normally it starts at 2.30

Think it was recommended that teams get there by 1pm to sort out admin, team shirts, team photos etc etc. We (blonde) are under the assumption it is a 2:30pm start though.
