Des, this looks like a brilliant event. I"m sure virtually everyone would be proud to represent their country - and if not, support the ones who are selected.

i think that the overall structure is fantastic, it could almost have a similar relevence to how the major pros view the wsop HORSE championship, obviously from an amateur perspective as most of us amateurs can only play hold-em so its a chance to show your skills at various facets of the game.
The only problem i see is that it could be a tournament that is only going to be played by long standing apat players, which i can understand as any appointed captain is going to choose players not through favouritism but basically because he/she would know those players games and how good they are, he/she will not know less established apat players therefore it would be a shot in the dark to choose them.
as a conclusion to this epic post i think this kind of tournament has a big future in the apat schedule, hopefully next year it could include "best newcomer" or highest amount of points gained in live play and also ranking leaders. apat should be applauded for introducing new events and not stagnating schedules!

Nice Post

Maybe try to add more emphasis to regional championships too? If you win your region, you get not only a seat to the worlds in london, but a national team seat too?

To counterbalance your argument I would suggest that anybody who wins a national championship will have made some kind of impact even if that was the only event they have entered so newer APAT players should still be in the running.
But generally I think you"re right, however I"m sure this will be a recurring tournament so todays new members are next years established members (etc. etc.), so I don"t think it"s necessarily that big a problem.
