Swinebag:
What if a team has a non-playing captain?
Just asking
amcgrath1uk:
Or, like in the worlds, I was the one asking ( if the HU was to be played 1/2 at a time), that I wanted to be the 5th player... some people like it, some don"t....
s4ooter:
Agree that captains should be allowed to nominate.
A captains role is to be the right thing for his team and make decisions that benefit the team.
Also that captain may have had a bad weekend at the tables, may not feel well, may have a HU specialist in there team etc.
A captains job is to get the best from his team and make the right decisions to benefit the team. Not to do everything for the team.
Doesn"t matter to us though as we will crush the HU 3-0.......just gotta worry about getting to the HU 1st lol
MintTrav:
Curious fact: Ireland and Wales have won most of the team events - yet neither has ever taken part in a Heads-Up play-off.
fandango:
Been some very good responses here in context to a drawn rubber in the HU..
As a captain I would relish the chance to secure victory for my team.
Rob also has a valid point.. What if say Scotland are drawing 2-2 HU? Gordon being a non playing skip??
I will go with what rules are put in place..
BUT....
I agree 100% with Rodders, it should be captains pick!!
I would pick my team member who has scored the most points for the team, unless he would prefer to stand down and let another player take the place.. As a captain it is my job to ensure the team perform to the best of their abilities and any edge in getting the win is of upmost importance.. If I had a player who had scored consistently high and was a HU specialist I would pick them every time..
