WCOAP TEAM EVENT
s4ooter:
So when u won the HN individuals, your didn"t get invited to Euros/Worlds??
I"d have no probs with England retaining x amount of the team, whilst the lowest 2 scorers get dropped and have to reapply with the rest.
Yea it"s a team game, but cut the chase.... Points make prizes, and the lowest scorers have directly contributed less than the others.
Get rid off the dead wood, and bring in new players.
AMRN:
For the record, the team I selected for 2013 WCOAP included the top ranked players in the live rankings (Carl), the online rankings (Asa), and the online league (Tony).

True. The basic data is exactly that, basic. And I might have missed some because all I could find was World Team Championships from Season 4 to 6 and European Team Championships from Seasons 2, 3, 6 and 7.

Surely the most important thing here is asking the question "Will England bring back the white team jackets, and if it means selecting Brian Yates again, then this SHOULD happen"
Have you still got yours Steve ?
I"ve never been able to find a photo of the pair of you in them, but they were a superb effort on Brian"s part, and what the event should be about. The pride and passion of playing for your country.
AMRN:
If the WCOAP 2014 is reduced to 4 players per team, then this whole conversation is moot for this year.
If it stays with the 5 player team format, then the conversation still applies. To be clear on this though, as always I"m happy to go with the consensus. My own opinion is that the competition should be made up of one team per country, plus the defending champion team, IF that team wishes to play again as a whole and unchanged team, and IF the country in question is able to field two teams. OK it may be that only England, and possibly Scotland, would see the upside of this due to player pool sizes, however that doesn"t mean that the idea is necessarily a bad one.
