I dont normally get involved in these discussions as they are very heated and i wouldnt want to offend people ,
but i have to agree with the people who have put on the thread about it being a friendly and positive place to play poker
I have played with APAT for over 3 years now and while i am not a massive user of forum i do try and get involved in live games and online whenever possible.
For me it is all about the banter the laughs yes i understand that money is it at stake.But the name says it all Amatuer poker
we are not pros(some people obv better than others ) if people do want to take it so seroiusly then maybe they should consider just that turning pro
I do not wish to offend anybody by this post just putting my 2 penneth in there
Im an Englishman (honest got a pasport and everything)who lives in Scotland and i am happy to play for Scotland
however i do unsderstand those people who were born in scotland (or other countries) wanting to represent their own
country. ;D ;D
p.s. I am willing to still captain the team from Micronesia
pps Team of one

If you can call them by another name instead of Scotland, Ireland and Wales as to try to take away the National pride bit, then would that solve the problem? I.e. could Ireland be classed as "overseas" which would include Europe

That help?
Scotland in this instance is a REGION in a REGIONAL league. It"s possibly badly expalined at outset, but people need to think that way

I think people forget that this rule is only being applied in this way because of others who complained. Everyone was happy with the way the rules were being applied before. So maybe instead of having a go at us, why not ask them as to why they wanted the rules clarified or applied more strictly in the first place? Until they complained about it there was no problem. ::)

It would solve the problem
but seriously? Why on earth would it be necessary?
NB: haven"t the rules always been you played for the club you lived closest to?

I don"t actually think it was badly explained as it was clearly stated they were regional teams. And we should be keen to retain those identities, as it would have been as easy to call Scotland "Region D" and Yorkshire "Region E", etc while retaining the geographical split. I"m sure there wouldn"t have been any issues had we named in that way.
