..... but now they need to make it very clear that soft play in these things is NOT permitted and if it is picked up in any form players receive a warning and may be disqualified if repeated examples occur. .....

And here endeth the team game. Understand that if soft play is NOT permitted, the "team" element of the team game no longer exists.

my point exactly. :(

So, going forward are we to have invigilators watching each table to ensure there is no soft play?
Seems to me the only way to have team poker is for team mates to be playing in separate games ie 6 mtt"s running at the same time with one player from each team.

which is like the Live Team Event STT"s... I think that would be a very good idea if you want to exclude every form of soft play, chip dumping, ...

We have listened to the views of everyone on this thread and also those that have contacted us over the past few days.
We are aware that there may have been some confusion regarding what is allowed and what is not allowed within these team games, to the extent that players have interpreted the rules differentely.
To make it very clear, these tournament are run as per the network rules that every player signs up to when they open an account. We have no control over these rules, and any breaking of these rules gets dealt with via the network compliance team.
Players that choose to break these rules in any game potentially face action from the network which could lead to funds being frozen and accounts closed.
We cannot knowingly encourage or allow players to break network policy rules and would hope that all teams involved would learn from this incident and adopt their play accordingly. At the same time, we have decided that disqualifying the two players in question does not seem appropriate due to the clear confusion regarding the dynamics of the team game and we will be reinstating them for the remainder of the cup.
We would urge teams to ensure that their play stays within the network rules as if anything is picked up by the compliance team, we do not have any control over the actions that they will take.
This is a positive warning to everyone that plays these events, and I would hope that it will be taken as such, meaning everyone can get on with enjoying what has been a competitive and fun competition.
