We have 19 now - so need 1 MORE.
15 have confirmed, 4 still unconfirmed.
Could those who haven't yet confirmed whether they can play or not PM me ASAP.
Even if all of these can play, we're still one short of having two teams. It'd be a shame to just have one team on the day and some people missing out - so if anyone else fancies it, PM me now!

Dan,
Don't want to rain on any parades but have you confirmed with Des that Blonde (or anyone else) can
have
more than 10 people?
At last count (per the thread on the APAT forum) there were around 17 teams showing interest. At an assumed maximum capacity of 200 this would seem to indicate a total of 20 teams with 10 players each.

blonde owns Desmonds soul, we also have (tucked away in a safe deposit box ) photographic proof of him actually buying a round !! Now he wouldnt want those pictures circulated would he ... it would cost him a fortune.

The format of the event has not been finalised yet, so nothing is 'in hand' as such. However we should have some further answers after the weekend when we look at the details. I'm surprised that nobody has given any thoughts on the format.

What you mean you haven't read my APAT Forum post?
Quote
I can see that we have a number of forums interested already but should the 'teams' not represent, if possible, a cross-section of that forums abilities?
What I mean is, perhaps a forum is only able to send, say 10 people, but APAT or LPM send 20. Rather than front-loading your 'first team' with your perceived 'better players' the skill levels could be evenly distributed by giving each player points based on their final position. (Say 1 point for 1st out, 200 for last etc).
Each contingent as a whole could be scored (say 10 from Punters Lounge score 500 and 20 from the LPM score 750) but the total pro-rated by the number of players.
In the example above, PL have an average of 50, but the LPM only 37.5, therefore PL would win.
This has a couple of added benefits:
It doesn't matter how many people are in each contingent (subject to minimums)
Captains don't have to pick and choose between people when deciding who to put in their teams because everyone is in a single 'team'.
The pro's don't have a 'super-team of 10' advantage giving us poor amateurs a shot.
Of course if you want to add a Sunday tourney for PLO/PLO8/RRP then the LPM will be there!

I meant 'in hand' as both you and Tighty are aware that blonde intends to enter two teams.
As for the minor details as to how the competition will work, we're waiting to hear his master's voice...

As for the format, I'd assumed (obviously incorrectly) that it would effectively be a standard freezeout tournament (everyone playing to cash for themselves) with players getting points for how far they go for their team for the team element.
This is how every other team event I've played in (I've not played many, granted) have worked.

For the love of God don't put the idea into Des's head that APAT should be doing something more creative and innovative than this, who knows what it'd end up as.

I assumed it was all taken care of prior to the advert for it coming out

This is how every other team event I've played in (I've not played many, granted) have worked.
the team event I played at Cincinattis a couple of years back had a good format - it effectively ran as lots of STT's, with no players from the same team on the same table. Points were awarded depending on finishing position (minus points for the first out, and quite top heavy). The winner of each STT got a small cash prize (effectively the buy-in back). The top 'x' scoring teams proceeded on to the next stage of the comp. Don't remember what that was though as my team didn't make it
**BRAG WARNING** (although I did win my STT
)
I quite liked the format and it cut out any allegations of collusion (or indeed any temptation to collude)

20 teams 10 players in team
10 x 20 man comps
running 5 comps at a time
give 5 hours of play for a 20 man comp gives lots of play
points awarded for places knocked out (ends team play on day 1)
team prize awarded
winners of table all get £100
winners and runners up all come back for days 2 (no points for team)
20 player comp nice slow structure and game on 6-8 hours of play on day 2
only fair way to run a team comp
unless you want to encourage team chip passing
this way you get your team mates railing you as you play aswell
