Just caught up with this.
I find it easier, as most of our team seem to use it regularly, to print the list on facebook.
That is all it is....a LIST of our players and it is open for all to see.
If we have 5 players at the same table (as happened in hand 1 this week) I want them to know who our players are.
If they choose to ignore that fact, then for me, they are not playing as a team and if that is the case, how does this"Team" event differ from any other freezeout?
When we played the TGF live Final at Star City in February, Tony Trippier and Steve Redfern were at the same table near the end and we needed both to make the top 25 for our team to have a slim chance of winning.
Tony shoved his short-stack into Steve"s BB and Steve folded A-A so as not to knock a team-mate out. Is that collusion or playing for your team ?
I know what my answer is.

in the TGF teams was told that soft play was ok but in apat and i have pointed out the rule (15) it is not .
AMRN:
A great article about so called poker principles from Paul Jackson.....And an excerpt that"s very appropriate to this thread....
"The reason some people are wary of team poker events, is that poker is obviously usually an individual pursuit. Any type of collusion or soft play is considered (quite rightly) as cheating. Some people carry over these principles when it comes to team poker. What they fail to understand is that it is a different concept, all be it played within familiar surroundings. The aim of the game is to win the team prize. The prize rewards the best team performance and so your strategy and approach to the game should be quite different to ones in which prizes are awarded to individuals."

yes but it"s against the rules. This is starting to grate on me. If it wasn"t in the rules that soft play wasn"t allowed I wouldn"t care but it states it ISNT allowed in this TEAM game.

George,
Completely take your point on the rule for this particular set of events, and I agree that it would appear slightly contradictory to how we anticipate the games to be played.
Going to get it reviewed and amended where necessary before the May matchdays.
Thanks for raising the point.
Leigh
