bear21:
Good Luck Andy and congrats on captaincy
Its gonna be a hard act to follow from last time but I"m sure there are plenty of worthy players
to chose from who can step up and perform,
but a 2nd behind WALES will be a worthy result LOL ;)
;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

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.

I"m assuming this remains true, although Des has been known to change his mind! 8)

Resigning captaincy was a hard thing to do - really glad with where this has been assigned though! Great choice.
Best of luck Andy!!

Thanks to all that applied; you should have received a PM from me by now.
So without further ado, I"m really pleased to announce that the following players will join me to do battle in the England colours at the WCOAP in April.
Andy Kingan An extremely tough player, Andy has represented England once before winning a silver medal at the Home Nations in Newcastle in Season 5 whilst also finishing first in the individual points table for the event. He provides all the experience for the team, being the only previously capped player chosen this time.
Ant Williams Residing 5th on the APAT All Time Cashes list and in the top 20 of the APAT All Time Money list it"s a massive surprise that Ant hasn"t worn the England shirt before. An extremely solid player Ant is tailor made for this format of poker and I"m delighted to be able to give this proud Englishman his first cap.
James Edwards Known on the forum as ThinkerJE he really lives up to his name in all aspects of the game. He has many excellent APAT results to back up his knowledge and is another who"s place in the team seems long overdue.
Finally, to announce perhaps the most important place in the team.......
...... our non-playing Team Mascot, Chief Pom-Pom flinger and Master Baker Debjani Duncan ;D
Really looking forward to the event - COME ON ENGLAND!!!
AMRN:
Great team choices Andy!
Chuffed with all the choices, but particularly chuffed to see Ant get a place - so deserved.
England FTW! Get defending guys ;)
