International Team Captains will be responsible for the selection criteria for their country.  It will be a requirement; where applicable, to select the top two players from their country in the APAT National Amateur Rankings.

If either of these 2 players do not wish to play in the team championship, or are not available, will captains be required to offer the place to the third ranked player or will this revert back to the free choice of the captain?

I would suggest it reverts back to a free choice.  That would seem the correct thing to do.

Some further questions.

1. Are players who have played in the pro league permitted to play?

2. Can players in this event enter into the HU and Stud events?

3. Same question as 2 above but for non-playing captains?
