Can I make a suggestion......
Whilst We are all proud to be representing our countries it does not seem fair that those playing in the team event are disadvantaged in the POTC race.
* Most of us have had to
* withdraw from at least 1 event
This is not a freebie tournament it is actually quite expensive
* It is arguable that the field is a pretty tough 1 meaning points are earnt in the hardest of ways
* those participating in the team event are amongst the group that are here for the duration, therby giving APAT the fullest support
The field size for the team event is 48 which is similar to or larger than side events such as the stud or HE.
I would suggest that the overall top scorers over the team event are awarded ponts in line with the side events, this could be done for each day or for the whole event. Lets face it each player will have to play at leastsix events each over 2 days
What say you APAT?

If you"re wondering what the noise is ? I"m thinking ;)
Damn you Rudders, you may force us into another APAT conference call. ;D
We"ll get back to you.

I still stand by my previous post stating what a good job has done by all, but i"m a huge fan of rudders suggestion here, I"m sure the team event will be fiercely fought between 48 players, all of which are forced to miss the events of the first 2 days.To be at a disadvantage for playing such a prestigious event does suck a little and the added value on offer is something im sure every player would love a chance at.

^^^ This (and that, and the bit before it).
Think Rudders has it spot on.

After a bit of deep discussion and thought, the scoring will remain as first announced.
The Team Championships, and Pro League for that matter, are considered separate events to the rest of the WCOAP schedule and therefore will not be included in any "Player of the Championships" rankings.
It would not be right to potentially change the dynamics of the team event by including an element of individual reward in the form of POTC ranking points.

Won"t the team event mostly be made up of individuals doing as well as they can in each match? Not sure I understand the changing dynamics point. ???

Agree - not quite sure what the dynamics are that would change. Each STT and each HU is about winning - the team dynamic doesn"t have a bearing, particularly given as no two players from the same team can ever be pitted against each other on the same table.
That said, I"m sure Leigh, Des and Rich have given due consideration - end of. To be honest, whilst being disappointed that my chances at POTC are somewhat reduced, I"m made up to be in the team event, and to me that carries far more weight.
