I appreciate why you have made this ruling Des but calling Scotland (or Ireland or Wales) a "region" or the team a "regional team" is not doing it for me.
Whilst this may be the official title of the team all the players will call it APAT Team Scotland. The facebook group had 53 members within 2 hours of being set up last night and currently has 61. There is no question from anybody about Edinburgh/Glasgow/Dundee etc. they are all instantly signed up for Scotland. Take a look at the replys in the sign up threads, I haven"t counted, but Scotland is building a strong team.
I am also concerned that not playing online for Scotland reduces my (or other Scots in the same position) chances of being picking to play for, or captain, Scotland in any International events.

That is not the case. I can"t recall too many International team selections being made on performances in the National Online Leauge. That said, with this league if you finish as the highest individual Scot you will be selected for the International squad. That"s guaranteed. You don"t need to play for the Scottish Region to achieve that.

I agree with what you say about selections in the past, I am suggesting it would be different given the new dynamics.
So are you saying that if I was the highest scoring player in the Yorkshire region I would get a place in the Scottish team?? or I could be 3rd in Yorkshire but my points are compared to other Scottish players and therefore the individual who is top of the Scotland team could have less than me and therefore not get the place?? I think you mean the latter but clarification would be appreciated.

The way I read it was the highest placed Scot would get a place in the Scottish team (etc. for the other nationalities)
It didn"t really seem ambiguous imo, but I could always be wrong

The highest placing individual Scottish player at the end of the 15 matches will be awarded a Scotland squad place, no matter which Region he or she plays for.
