WCOAP 2014 Team Championship Discussion Thread
IrishTom:
APAT have always aimed to be forward-looking and a driving force behind not only the playing of poker, but the development of both opportunities and experiences - and not wishing to stand still, see the introduction of other variants to our Team Championship events as a step in the right "forward" direction. However, of course we do recognise the problems it may give to Team Captains and we need to ensure that player availability (and skills) is not restricted to the point where it deters teams from entering - therefore "one step at a time" is an approach that may well suit "both sides".
NLHE will always remain the core of our events (some would say!) and PLO has very much become a "main stream event" nowadays (some would say!), and to include PLO 08 into the WCOAP Team Championship, whilst reducing the "risk" to teams/captains, the following schedule would seem sensible:
17 Apr 14:00 WCOAP #5.1 NLHE STT (3 members)
17 Apr 14:00 WCOAP #5.2 PLO 08 STT (1 member)
17 Apr "on demand" WCOAP #5.3 HU Matches (4 members)
18 Apr 12:00 WCOAP #5.4 NLHE STT (3 members)
18 Apr 12:00 WCOAP #5.5 PLO STT (1 member)
18 Apr 19:00 WCOAP #5.6 NLHE MTT (4 member)
(start time on 17th moved to 14:00 to allow teams the opportunity to travel AM on 17th)

Indeed Tom - and in subsequent (member) posts the "problem" of everyone playing PLO and PLO 08 has given rise to us thinking about this again - which is "ongoing" - but by this weekend we will confirm the final schedule of events (which also includes us looking at the possibility of including an extra "non-team" event on Thurs) - trying to find a "balance" between not restricting teams/selection and enhancing the team champs.
