I challenge APAT to support a Team Event where soft play, chip passing/dumping, etc are all allowable and expected, and where the team that performs best as a team is the winner.

The main voices advocating floors to be called and disqualifications, namely Paulie, Rodders and (to some extent) Stu, have all said that they like the idea of chip-passing in team events but are opposed to it at Stoke mainly just because it is against the rules of the event.

Not quite...I"m in favour of a completely team event with no individual element/prize to be affected by "team play".
I"m not against "team play" because there is a rule against it.
I"m against it where there is an an individual element involved (as it is at Stoke) that could be affected by "team play".

As I recall, the only reason why "team play" in general was ruled out of bounds was because there was an individual prize to be won and players didn"t want any "team play" to affect that part of the competition.

That is the wrong way round imo, individual play should not be detrimental to the Team effort.
Is it a team event with an added individual prize or vice versa?

I think we have to accept that for this year, it is what it is and move on.
Des and Tom have both said they like the idea and will consider it for NEXT year, and that is as good as they can do this close to the event
