Title: United Kingdom Team Championship Luton Oct 22/23
Post by: RicayBoy on March 16, 2011, 14:53:15 PM
I know this is very distant, but do we think we can get a Luton team up now that we play host to the Team Championship. I know some of our players are probably committed to other teams, but would there be any interest in a Team APAT Luton?

What do you think skip (and others) ?

I know I"m not a member of Team Luton but my understanding of the Team Event is that it would be a repeat of the Forum Team event as took place in January.

As such, the teams would be drawn from established forums "independent" of APAT....there wouldn"t be a "Team APAT Luton" permitted as such...at least that"s the way I read it.

Remember "Larry Murphys" Team..or "APAT Ladies Team"? They weren"t allowed as they would have been created JUST to get into the Team Event.

Of course, I could be completely wrong.

I would be up for a team, but think our chances would be slim, if we met up there to play regular games then i think we might have a better chance?

Great idea, but from what Paulie is saying as we are not an "established forum or even seperate from APAT, doesn"t look like we"d get a team in.

I would like to think that those who wish, would be able to get a team place somewhere, so we could at least all met up again as we did last season in Luton.

However...


The Friday Night would be a great opportunity for a repeat of last year"s Luton "Home" Game!

Who was first to be knocked out of that last year?  ;)

Actually we should get down there for a "home" game straight away - I"ve heard that Stuart Aitken / Kinester"s sandwich has just turned up  :)

Achim,

would be great to met up again with you for this.

The idea on meeting up again on the Friday is being discussed already, so I"m hopeful this will happen again.

Still can"t see why APAT Luton are not permitted to put out a team for this event.

It"s like the host not being able to play in the World Cup Finals. Luton is pretty much the only venue within comparatively easy travelling distance for me and it is now hosting an event I can"t play in  :"(

When is a team not a team? that"s the question........

The host is APAT - and the APAT forum will have a team.

And if I have my way, APAT will have two teams representing them this year, allowing two different areas of the APAT community to play the event.

I was going to put, "and if APAT have 2 teams, then it"s unlikely that they would be APAT and APAT Luton", but decided on the simpler approach in the end  :D

My advice to the Luton lot would be to form the BLPC, create a forum and bingo you are all set.

I can"t say that I agree with the idea of an APAT Luton team, but the idea of a team from Luton has to be a goer. There is a great pokering community from Luton with some top guys and gals in their ranks who would grace this tourney.

It"s not quite that simple...Larry Murphy"s anyone!?

The BCPC is an interesting one....they don"t actually have a forum but get a team in anyway.

It"s all about an ESTABLISHED group independent of APAT (although there will be overlap, of course) that hasn"t been formed JUST to get a team into this event.

Or at least that"s the way it"s worked in previous years...Des/Tighty might have other plans this year!

I"m not saying form the BLPC and a forum just to get into the APAT comp.
I meant that there is a strong poker community in Luton that is well established, but it is a very informal. By putting a bit more formality to everything then I can"t think there would be too much objection to them having a team in the APAT comp.

As for the BCPC, again, can"t think of any reason why they would not be considered. True they don"t have a forum, but having a forum is not one of the criteria for selection...is it?
