With your chips too. Boom.
hi_am_chris:
FWIW too i really don"t see at least for the home nations why a qualification series of tournaments or qualification for the team by POTY points would be such a bad idea and then a captain selected from within or a non playing captain selected.
Maybe a series of ten tournaments online with the top players selected however this would be slightly strange as it"s a live tournament :\

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.

Shame on me indeed, although the fact that it clearly means waaaay more to others i would of thought people would be thankful i would have to decline playing for England (The fact that im in a real tough battle at the top of the poty with a great player for a vegas package presumably to you is irrelevant?)
Finally the worlds offer the one opportunity to play a variety of games i would never otherwise get to play (Only because of APAT i have ever played stud and razz)

Just to clarify...
If people are battling at the top of rankings then it is their choice to play or not. I was agreeing with the fact that it is an honour to represent my country, but each person has a right to prioritise as they see fit. It certainly wasnt meant as criticism towards anyone on my part.
I DO agree that rankings would be a slightly floored way to pick players, it should be the captains choice as to who plays, its part of being the captain! Also, other variations should be considered for the team events, it would definitely make it more fun.

Include Razz, Horse, stud etc
Oh and OFC!
Haha
