From what I recall clearly from last year, the teams who excelled at this event had one thing in common. Incredible luck of the Irish, or to be more specific, a cardrack called Pat.

FYP
The team spirit thing is a key factor in this event though. Those teams that shone through, clearly had a togetherness over the weekend. They also had a skilled and talented team captain, who was able to gel the team members together to get the most out of them, by utilising not only the team captains poker knowledge and skills, but also maximising the skills of their team.

I think the team spirit is a coincidence
I can"t see any logical, statistical or analytical reason why a non-team game like poker would benefit from it.
I recall a similar theme around England"s Nations Cup victory the other year - the summary of that was that England were the only team acting like a group of individuals during the tournament rather than getting cosy with loads of bonding.
They won that, teams with good team spirit did well in this last time -to me this reinforces the evidence in favour of coincidence.

Three national championships so far this year.
Event 1 winner - English
Event 2 winner - English
Event 3 winner - English
No sign of any scots, irish, etc. Maybe they"re winning the online nationals....... nope!!
Fair play but:
You fail to take into account the number of runners that were English ... in this event there will be 4 from each country ...

Exactly - more English people qualified because they were better in the satellites!!

Congrats on the captaincy Danny- can"t think of a better person for the job (also means your not playing which is an obvious bonus)
