Any news on the format yet? Personally I"m against the stt idea, as has been mentioned, some people are coming a long way for a good weekend and to just get a single table tourney out of it would be disappointing.

I have to agree on this. I dont see why it cannot just be run as normal APAT tournament, and you get points for the place you go out in either a lowest or highest points win senario.. I really hope that this is the format that is taken, and maybe if there is 20 teams, then 1 from each team can play in a 2 table STT that can run along side the final day so that it gives people something to rail.
I think other have said that you may have 2 teams from the same Forum, but if they have to name a team before the start then effectivly they are playing against each other as well, as people would be playing for their team and not just the forum.
Chezger FTW obv... ;) ;)

I think it should run as a normal APAT tournament as well.
The added GUKPT seat should reduce the chances of any individual colluding with another member of their team because it gives such a good incentive to win and if the £1000 prize were shared only between the members of the winning team (rather than the forum), this should stop any any collusion between 2 teams from the same forum.
Obv. the cup and the bragging rights will belong to the forum as a whole but the cash should stop anything underhand.
If STT"s and cash are generally available on the second day this gives people something to do if they get knocked out on the first day.
If the scoring was something like the top 5 finishers from each time, than statistically this reduces the effect of bad luck and will make anybody who goes out in the first level a bit less guilty about the effect on their teams chance of winning.

..but the point is (at least in large part) to find the "best" forum...having more than one team per forum improves that forum"s chances of winning the forums prize.
One Team per Forum...I"m happy
Other than that, I really don"t care about the format although I would hope to see poker variations other than just Hold"Em included, otherwise...

Anyway, a little birdie tells me the format is pretty much set already

..as Des mentioned earlier he was looking to lock the format down over the weekend. I assume that has happened subject to whatever powers that be.
