rudders:
A few questions/suggestions....
As it is the home nations what happens if one of the teams is in a position to win the competition and are up against their fellow countymen (not team mate)? Is team play/ soft play accepted/allowed?
what about in the mtt what happens when there are eight welshmen on the final table is team play allowed.
can I suggest that no countymen play eachother heads up.
My feeling is that soft play may be permissable but not collusion (ie folding the best hand, three bet folding to squeeze a non country man/team mate out of a pot. etc)
It is a team game after all but I think we need strict guidance on this avoid any confusion/misunderstandings
regards
Rudders
TightEnd:
No team play or collusion will be permitted, same as any other APAT event
the HU part of the competition will obviously be drawn so that no two team mates play each other
the SNGs will obviously only have one player per team per table
the MTT will start with no two players from the same team on the same table. After that, as tables break yes it will happen but you are expected to play all out with no soft play.

no that"s not the case
In the MTT for sure there will be 1 player from each of the 8 teams on the starting tables
In the SNG its likely
In the HU we"ll try to avoid it

I keep reading line 1 again and again ... "No team play ... will be permitted" ... it is a TEAM event ... how is this going to be judged? What are you to do in a marginal spot?
Various points:
Do I need to look to defeat my own team members? - I assume no - but please confirm.
Do I need to look to defeat the "Scotland A" team? - I assume yes - but please confirm.
If towards the end the MTT the title is between say Wales "A" and Scotland "B" can we target Wales "A" over Scotland "A" ... all we would be trying to do is win the event (is this allowed)?
I think everyone agrees that collusion is straightforwardly not allowed - but at the margin trying to win the event may be construed as "soft play" vs any other opponent.
For me it is obvious that you should look to exert pressure on your key opponents - but the flip of that coin is you may as a result favour your other national team or some other team.
Guidance would be great : If that is as simple as no collusion and look to maximise your team"s points that would be great.
