The 888 forum will be newbies for this event. We play team tourneys on the site and always allow (and expect) soft play and chip dumping between team members 8)
Is this allowed in the APAT Team Championship? I"ve read through previous threads and there seems to be a mixture of opinions, so would be happy to get some advice.

APAT recognise that a small amount of soft play may be inevitable in this style of format, however chip dumping and collusion is not acceptable and will lead to penalty and possible team disqualification. When in doubt, players should apply everyday poker logic to their decision making.

Here we go again. Obviously collusion is not acceptable in any format of the game, however poker logic in a team game says that the longer you and your team mates stay in the tourney, the better. If this means passing them some chips within the rules of the game then so be it. IMHO it is up to the other players on the table to spot this situation and change their game accordingly to take advantage.

That falls under "soft play", at least as far as I understand it.
Obvious chip dumping should be called into question by any/all players at the table.
FLOOR!

Tom, If you are staying at the Quality, Can you leave the blonde teams t shirts at the reception for me to pick up Friday on behalf of Asa please?. Saves you taking them to the casino and me carrying them back again.
Thanks in advance :)
