i have to say i agree with gimac don"t fix it if it is not broke. how many different games do we include. razz, irish, chinese, the list would go on and on and we would have an ever decreasing pool of players. i have already told gimac that i dont want to play plo 08. now looking at prague i think most players are happy with the big game at the end, i am ok with that but think the hu is a waste of time and can create a luck based result, more so than any other event, stack size at the start was to small.
for me i would go back to the 5 sngs, i would play 3 holdem, limited pl and nl. with the other rounds being lo and plo. they are all very different games and play different. for me lh is underrated. heard loads of players saying it takes too long, most of them have never played it. yes at the start of the game it is slow but it very quickly turns. for me it is a drawing game and hence more players are in the pots. hu should be reserved for draws. most nations find it hard to get a team so why make it harder.

I have discussed this with Tom and Matt and I can assure you that the event will definitely have five phases to it.
With five phases, country captains will have to allocate their four players in the following way:-
Day One
Phase 1 - NLHE, NLHE, NLHE, NLHE
Phase 2 - NLHE, NLHE, PLO, PLO
Phase 3 - HU
Day Two
Phase 4 - NLHE, NLHE, PLO8, PLO8
Phase 5 - MTT
With over three months to go, captains should be able to ensure they have at least two players in their team who are expert in Omaha and 08.
The Main Event and the World Amateur Team Championship are the two most high profile tournaments of the WCOAP and we think the above format will lead to another superbly competitive event.

100% agree, so why are the 2 Omaha variants on the same 2 days as the ME day 1"s. Can we please swap the Razz with one of them???
It is not certain of course, but the likelyhood is, is that those wanting to play PLO will want to play PLO8 as well. (have put this here in the hope it gets noticed)

I don"t understand this question the main event is on a totally different day...this schedule says the first STT (phase 1) will be all 4 members of the team will be playing NLHE...the second STT of the day (or phase 2) will have two members of the team playing NLHE and the other two members of the team will be playing PLO. The last event of day 1 (phase 3) will have all members playing a heads up match. Day 2 has the 3rd STT (phase 4) of the event has two members of the team playing NLHE and two playing PLO8 and the last phase will be a MTT which I"m sure all team members will be playing and it will be NLHE...so the people who are playing PLO can play PLO8...which i plan on doing myself because I"m able to play both...definitely not an expert though....lol The Main Event of the WCOAP isn"t until Saturday and Sunday which are the day 1s while the team championship is on Thursday and Friday. So this question didn"t make sense to me...
