as a system, it would be totally unfair to the England player pool, many of whom might significantly out-perform Welsh, Irish, or Scottish players over the course of the season, but due to the sheer volume, they wouldn"t get a place.

Are you trying to make a point that "having many players who significantly out-perform Welsh, Irish, or Scottish players yet can"t get in your team" is somehow a disadvantage?

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?

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

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! :-)
