Running a "Team" element, open to all, at the Worlds is a great idea.
Teams are submitted, with a minimum of 5, max of 10.
You name your selected "4" for each side event, and these are the only players that can score points.
People can make there own teams, from friends and encourage more newbies to come.
Teams pay a flat entry fee

Isn"t this just an extension / slight alteration to the "Forum" Team Championships format which will be in held in Stoke?
The ECOAP / WCOAP Team events are, and should be, teams representing their countries.

Was just offering this an addition, not a replacement. Trying to find was to encourage more newbies to get involved in the festival.

I understand that but some people are already complaining about the number of team events and this would be yet another.
I don"t think it"s a bad idea, in fact I would prefer it to the Forum event, but it isn"t the subject of this thread.
By all means suggest it to IrishTom, if you don"t, I will file off the serial numbers and claim the idea as my own.
Oh, wait! :-)

I quite agree with you
May post a seperate thread to bat ideas from one another, as think this would increase footfall to the WCOAPs and make it even more awesome,
Seems to work for the Goliath!!

Comparing APAT/LPPL to the World cup and Rugby World cup may be a little "extreme".. But I know in other amateur sports like Pool, and darts this concept works so I consider this a positive change yes.

It is an extreme comparison yes ;D
I just don"t think the second team idea fits long term with most of the participating teams resources.

Like the idea that the country who wins can choose to enter a separate squad and invite the reigning champions to return and defend their title.

If you were to hear that Spain in 2014 world cup and New Zealand in 2015 Rugby world cup would both be bringing two separate teams to contest these prestige events,
would you consider that a positive change?

Personally wouldn"t bother me, infact I would relish the opportunity to try and dethrone the reigning champs especially if they where Scottish ;D ...

HERBIEHACKIT:
having looked at all the comments on this, feel i want to have my say. team selection is and has too be the captains choice. to introduce a selection on ranking points is a joke. its like the fa saying the top 11 performing players on ranking or .... and these are the playings going to the world cup.
also a ranking system ignores some issues, like players putting individual events before country. shame on them, do you think a footballer who put himself before country would ever play for said country again?
A ranking system does not allow for players in my situation. when this season dates were announced they were a disaster for me as i am working all but the english champs (which i played). unlike most of you i do not get to select my holidays, i am told when i am off. having said that, i got a phone call from gordon saying he was finding it hard to get a scottish team together and would i play. now for those of you who do not know me. I have in the past had a successful motorcycle racing career, played football to high level and tennis at club level. I have a trophy cabinet bursting with trophies, including a bronze replica from the iom tt races. But just being asked to rep scotland was one of my proudest moments and pulling on that blue jersey well to say i was bursting with pride would be an understatement. As for receiving a bronze in prague, for me the greatest moment ever, including my tt success. so i said yes. i travelled and played in both the home nations and european games. in both these events i was unable to play the main events as i had to return home for work and i would do the same again. country before individual and if you do not think that way shame on you, you do not warrent your countrys shirt. as for me i would sell my soul to the devil for scotland.
