Which Regional Team Can I Play For?

Denis67:
Whatever comes of all this getting PokerStars onboard is a real plus, well done to all at APAT who worked hard on this.

This thread is just awful. I cannot say I am surprised.

I think the APAT guys have set up a stunning on-line series with some great add-on prizes to boot. With regards to the Team events - they made a decision based on fairness to each individual player by trying to balance the "Team event" numbers to promote balance across the "regions" so each "individual" still has a fair chance in the team comp to win equal to the stake they enter with.

And what is returned - aggressive, nationalistic, petty squabbling cliques.... Is this the APAT ethos....
I was talking to someone about APAT and they stated that APAT players were ignorant to newcomers and very clique.

From my limited experience I cannot really disagree with that perception, with the exception of a few people, this my experience thus far.

Regardless, each to there own.

However I implore the APAT guys to keep the "play where you live rule" in place - it adds clarity but more important if it offers fairness to each person who invests their time and money in this series thats more important. This seems much better than the school playground metality of "If I can"t play for my country / with my friends I won"t play". And just maybe you"ll actually enjoy making new friends  I feel better now.  :)

Ironside:
des as much as i love you i think this is a bit wrong
people living in englandshire wont be able to win the seat in the scotish team for the worlds
bit unfair IMHO

now if i was to die and end up in hell rather than hevean you telling me i would have to play for
london rather than my natrual hevean and scotland?

poker_jason:
Also, while we at it - don"t know why we even have this teams-region ********.

Would much preferred to have seen a UKIPT seat put into an ironman free roll, i.e. if you played nearly every week you"re entered into the freeroll. And prizes for overall league finishes/play-off freeroll for top 20 for example.

i"m finished now.

AJDUK:
The top scotsman in the league will be an auto pick for Scotland, regardless of which region he plays for. Des clarified that somewhere above.
