I just assumed Tom had invited you to the secret second week David and you were just playing along.  Hmmm, this is awkward now :)

Tom.

I love the fact that you"re getting this out early (really) and I know it"s asking a lot but do we have any indication of what the ECOAP schedule will look like.

Vacation days  need to be booked/allocated (and potentially hotel rooms locked up).  :)

Paulie!!

How are you doing mate?

We are very happy to hosting the ECOAP in Brussels. We already have a draft of the schedule, which I"ve shared with IrishTom. He"ll post it here.

The draft is pretty much final, except for 1 side event. One of the Side Event will change into an Adrenaline 30 Side Event. It"s a new tournament format with no clock but a running average of 30 BB from beginning to end.


In the meantime I can tell you 1 thing... you don"t want to miss the ECOAP this year ;)

why not open the european team championships up to normal teams as opposed to countries,maybe top 5 in the uk championships and online qualifier, I guess im right in thinking at the moment its country based

The European Championships are quite prestigious and with it being in Belgium, it is easy for all the european teams to get to, changing it to a normal team event would be a bit of a slap in the face for those who make the effort to come over here and support the world championships.

Because it"s the European Championships.

You wouldn"t think about doing it in the football, would you? 12 countries plus the Champions League Semi Finalists?

I don"t agree with the above, Playing for your country at european and world levels is the best thing for any player to be involved in.

But you could take the same format as the UK Team Champs and apply it to a european level with a few differences.

Ohhh

Don't need answers right now but I have 2 questions about Brussels

Is your Nightly PLO tournament only on for one night?

Will there be a method to buy in before travelling all the way to sunny Brussels.
