European Amateur Poker Festival - November 2009
BOINGBLITZ:
Can"t speak for anyone else but I saw no MAJOR advertisement for Captains. The MAJOR advertisement on the homepage has only appeared now that the Captains have been chosen.
Therefore, the Captains will choose the players they know, or "friends" to put it another way.....IMO.
Why are the teams not chosen using rankings etc ??
Maybe that would be too obvious and then the "wrong" names would crop up ??

This didn"t happen last year, so why assume that it will this year ?

All you had to do is read the forum and you would have seen the advert for the captains
and I think you"re underestimating people"s competitive spirit if you think any captain won"t choose the players who they think are most likely to win.

I think that at the margin Captains will pick people that they know.
Criteria could be a combination of APAT "live" events + Online Championships+Online League.
Formula to suit ... I might weight "live" events higher as it will be played "live".
Given the number of English/Scottish/Irish/Welsh players how in earth do you select otherwise?
As a more general thought - a more generally open team event (not based on nationality) would be very interesting.
