This thread should be used to discuss England team selections for the European Team Championship.
Players wishing to be considered for one of four places on the England team should highlight the fact to non playing Captain, Alan Lake.
Please bear in mind that Alan"s selections are likely to be largely based on APAT National Rankings and Championship performances.

Alan
ME ME ME !!!!!!

Is this just going to turn into the biggest brag thread ever?
I don"t have a flag but would love to be considered.
-
Go on then. If I really have to, can you consider me to represent England -- PLEASE
-
Dont pick me, pick the four highest ranked Englishmen/women and lets take this down!!
-
would love to be considered

Just a thought, I would think this thread is going to end up a mile long with wonna be players wishing to represent England. I would guess that proportionately we would have much more players wanting to take part.
How about having an A and B team or north and south or a team of ranked players and a second team of wild card selections??
-
I agree with Chelsea, about the fact that this thread may get rather long... not that England should have more than one team.
Soooooo... not wishing to spoil everyone"s fun or anything, but please be assured that there is no need to actually put your name forward. Not all APAT members use the forum on a regular basis, when I have a shortlist for the team I/APAT will contact individuals to confirm avaliability and/or desire to take part.
If haven"t already seen it, please see my post post on the original thread - http://www.apat.com/forum/index.php?topic=1777.msg28604#msg28604
(You can ignore the bit about runes and crystal balls... far too expensive!!)
To that I would add that I have been asked to be the captain and select the team... select being the operative word, whilst the overall season two rankings will be taken into consideration, you do not need a non-playing captain to simply pick the first four Englishmen/women from a list.
As stated, the top English player in overall rankings will get one of the four places... so, with one live event and six online events remaining, there are still plenty of points up for grabs for those near the top of the leaderboard to cement a place in the team.
Good luck all,
Alan

Excellent post imo.

We have a very competitive looking tournament to look forward to Nigel and I think adding a second England team of any ilk would dilute the credibility we are seeking to bring to the event. By its very nature it should be extremely difficult to get into the National team. I think Alan has a difficult job but we can be very confident that he will pull together the best possible selection of players for this event.

I do hope that Cornwall is considered part of England.
I am ready willing and able to represent England, and would be proud to do so.

Agreed, Alan does have a difficult job, one im sure he will prepare for and execute superbly...so whoever makes the team, good luck and COME ON ENGLAND

very good idea if possible the more players that get the chance the better !
Obviously if the structure allows , maybe another 2 teams so 10 in all , would that work 10 seater tables ???
It could be a team of wildcard from any nation, a team of past champs, the top 4 ranked no matter what nationality , a freeroll with top four winning a seat or any other weird and wonderful ideas!!
All obviously if structure allows 10 teams what do you all think ???
-
Obviously we"d all like to play in this (except me cos I"m rubbish and don"t want to show myself up ;D ), but this event should be a showcase of the best players each nation can put together. Imho, what Des has said about diluting the credibilty of the event by including National second teams also applies to the idea of a wild card team etc.
-
Would like to be considered for this. Please dont take into consideration the way the "aces" were played on TV!

There"s nothing like your poker credentials being broadcast for all to judge.
Hope you make the team Tim.

This thread might be kept to a minimum if the people who didn"t want to play or can"t play posted instead of those who did want to play.

Selection Process Update:
As already stated the APAT rankings will be taken into consideration, but will not be the only criteria.
I will also be taking into account spelling, punctuation, grammar and how often people SHOUT.

Not many ranking points!! Maybe not APAT ranking points but you wanna check out my GUKPT ranking points (48.5) and now I won BlueSquare league again this month there are another 15pts to be added and I"ll probably start Champion of Champions as one of the chipleaders ;D and it"s John to my friends!! Only my family call me "Derek" GGGRRRRRRRRRRRRRR :)
-
lol john, you already told me that and now i call you john i posted that long before you told me . And yes you have done well in gukpt league no one denying this but the team championship is for APAT not GUKPT !
And to be fair i posted that ages ago and you just replying , so you are not exactly a dedicated APATer? But gl any way john
-
Dedicated APAT"er. Well, I played almost all the online APAT events and a few Regionals so thats fairly dedicated. Maybe not posting often on the forum but I"m sure APAT prefer actions to words.
Having said that your actions were much better than mine so I"ll give you that one (ok and your words too :D) You win!! You"re in, I"m off to play for Scotland ;D
-
No probs John it just very very competitive for English team and we all keen to play and Alan very tough decisions to make . There is a lot of high ranked players and past champs after it ! but good luck to all !
-
