There is a lot of naivety displayed itt, surely its implicit in the the competition title "Team event" that soft play will not only occur but be expected as an integral strategy within the somewhat unique Team game dynamic.
A few poor souls were slow to understand this dynamic hence the several threads flaming those idividuals for play deemed harmful to the Team objective.
So in the abscence of a full and specific set of rules for the event ( likely expensive ) people can either not play the event or embrace and adjust to the new and interesting dynamic it offers.

So basically u have a rule which isn"t policed so we can collide/soft play and if we don"t like that we don"t participate?

It"s the reason I don"t play it. I got chastised by my captain for 3-betting a team mate... left me scarred for life, I"ve been the same player since. Only last night I had a dream nightmare where I was being disciplined by said captain.
Nurse, NURSE... is it time for my medication?

LMAOOO!!! Sure is true ya goose! I"d say it"s time to up yer dose of meds. :D
I"m more inclined to chastise ya for not playing at all, but no point fighting anyone to sign up so yer safe.

It"s either a rule it it isn"t. I"m not naive not am I accusing anyone of anything but the rules state no collusion it soft play. But itt we are saying actually there is not much we can do about it. Well remove it ad a rule then so there"s no grey area.
I was intending on playing this year but I spose this rule will mean that this who soft play will win the league and those who don"t don"t really have a chance and getting the added value

Spot on Brendan!
Really don"t understand why people are getting so worked up. Collusion is cheating, and is a dirty word - and I don"t believe (for the most part) that anyone cheats in the APAT league games. The TEAM ethic breeds a new way to play - elements of Soft Play are part and parcel of the TEAM game.... that said though, Chip Dumping would be a step too far (imo).

So u don"t regard folding aces to an open shove as collusion?
