the tag format with say 18 teams and have 2 tables, this might take an age + lead to boredom though.

You have to give more points for knocking players from your own team out, makes it interesting

as i said before i have only played in 1 event and it was a hu event and is possible the best format for team events

no form of MTT where members of the same team are playing and can end up on same table is a runner in my view

you can have multi MTTs where 1 member of the team team plays in each MTT and points awarded but this would mean the players not knowing the results of other events untill they were out

single tables IMHO would work if less than 10 teams but again to make sure there is no cheating and deal making soft play players should not know the results of other tables

teams of players playing in one event with team members replacing each other at various stages is a workable format but isnt a format that suits pot or no limit games due to the fact that players can go out first hand and then some team members feeling riipped off due to never having played
maybe teams of 3 with a triple chance system would work where in once a player loses all the chips in front of him the team can get a free rebuy (like in a double chance freezeout) the player who loses the chips cannot be subbed back in untill after all teams have taken there top ups (maybe a 3 hour period this will allow all players a chance to play for a period of time or untill they lost there chips)

Poker is not a Team game, in my opinion, & does not lend itself to Team Play format.

It doesn't mean you can't have a team......

Take tennis, you don't have teams (forgetting doubles for the moment) but you can still have comps like the Daviis Cup. Poker can quite easily do the same thing with HU matches.

I don't think poker generally lends itself well to team events. However, I've played in a HU team event which was very successfully run and great fun.

Here's a controversial idea for single or multi tables: Allow collusion. If you are going to have a team event then why not allow them to play as a team. I think there would fabulous scope tactically and then no one could be accused of cheating. Otherwise it might as well just be an individual event.

Tag Format?  how does that works?

Like ironside said, 1 team captain selects a player to play, and can substitute him for another member of the team at anytime.

There were certain rules that the world cup teams had to comply with, i dont remember exactly but it was things like ''at least 1 change to be made during the first 2 blind levels'' etc.

we played one at the betfair do and it worked well
8 teams of 8 players playing on 8 tables  as an stt - all tables started at the same time and used same clock , each team had a capt and joker , players got points for where they finished on the table plus bonus points for ko a team captain and also the joker - the jokers points also counted double for his own team
we played £25 a man every table winner got £100 and the winning team received £800 total
the emphasis on the event was general fun and a bit of rivalry/ bragging rights- there was no dumping as each table had 1 player from each team on it  - every table also had a team capt and a team joker on it
as i said it worked fine
