Title: Online Cup
Post by: josharp01 on January 20, 2013, 19:46:27 PM
Hi Guys

APAT are running the National Online Cup again, starting 3rd February.

As you know we had a few teams from EoE last year. Whilst teams do not have to be regional teams like the league, I wondered if anyone is interested in playing with fellow EoE members? If so please let me know and I will add your name to the list.

Details for the comp are here http://www.apat.com/forum/index.php?topic=13114.0

Also, if anyone has any suggestions for how the teams should be picked/drawn this year please let me know!

GOOD NEWS (I think): I want to play.

BAD NEWS: I may miss one or more of the Sundays (will have to check work commitments tomorrow)

GOOD NEWS: I will register for all of the MTT"s prior to the knockout stage regardless of whether I can make it or not!
                  I will register for all MTT"s in the knockout stages if my team are still in contention.

BAD NEWS: I may be a little late sometimes.

GOOD NEWS: We are all due some rungood Pilgrim Luck.

AND FINALLY: Why isn"t Carl"s name down? ? ?    Hope he"s not getting all "celebrity" on us and jumping ship!

My thoughts on selection should be cap the first 12 or 18 players then draw 2/3 teams like last time.. if we dont reach 12 interested players then the first 6 names down is a def team.. then say if there is 4 more players they use the player market set up by APAT to make a full squad? and so on.. Am willing to do the draw live on SKYPE if you like?

Dear Judas Clipboard

Hmmm, your request has been noted and will be given due consideration, however, I wondered, will this be a permanent move back to the mighty EoE?

After some gentle persuasion (and a lot of beer) I am pretty sure AJ Cairns said he would play (late, on saturday night!). St no point was the word loser used to put peer pressure on and he seemed thrilled to be asked! ;o)
Title: Re: Online Cup
Post by: ajcairns on January 27, 2013, 21:38:48 PM
was this before or after I fell asleep at the table?  I did actually nod off at one point with my head in my hands, only to wake as the dealer was pushing chips towards me as I had a walk in the big blind!  Easy game.

It will be an honour to rep EofE in the online cup.  Although I will be missing at least two weeks maybe three  :(
Title: Re: Online Cup
Post by: fandango on January 28, 2013, 17:46:29 PM
Two more players then we will have two complete teams.. So if you all agree, perhaps if we get two more regged before Sunday will cap it there and I will draw as and when?  Let me know what you guys think.. In the mean time will spam a few more  ;D

Ok Jo if you update the player list on OP.. Think Mark is wanting to jump ship!!   ;D and join the bog trotters.. With the addition of Stu, Achim and Simon I believe that indeed makes 12..

If two people want to be team captains then first two have dibs? Hence choosing their team name, or otherwise first and second names drawn will be captains and relative team mates will then be consecutively drawn?..

Am happy to do draw live via SKYPE on Friday evening at 9.00pm? Fully clothed of course..

Feedback appreciated xx

Fully clothed apprecited! ;)

I like the idea that the first 2 names drawn are the captains (unless anyone really doesn"t want to be?) and then choose names! Will update OP now!

Hi Achim,

The tournaments start at 7.30pm no late registration, regarding the finishing time, I couldn"t tell you.. But I"m sure it wouldn"t be any longer than the usual online league, and if I was to stick my neck out I would assume it finished earlier..

If you don"t think you can commit and are worried about late finishers I"m sure we all understand your predicament with the time difference, and if you wish to withdraw then just say and Jo will remove you from list.. If not great look forward to seeing you play..

Take care Carl

Echo what Carl said (sorry guys been a really busy week). Would be  real shame if you couldn"t play, Achim, but totally understand that the time difference can make late finishes difficult.

Last call for the rest of the EoE to sign up!

Title: Re: Online Cup
Post by: fandango on January 31, 2013, 19:12:47 PM
Will still go ahead with the draw tommorow night if that"s ok..

Will keep Achim on the list unless otherwise told he does not want to compete, if indeed he cannot play then I suggest the team captain if not Achim himself will need to use player market or spam for another applicant?

Will be on SKYPE at 9.00 pm add me if you want to watch..

The competing captains can then go and register their team on the main Online Knockout cup thread..

See you all on Sunday at 7.30pm!

Hi Andy, im sure if your not comfy with the role of being skipper and want to step down, the next player out of the " balloon" Jo Sharpe will fill your shoes.. The random draw captain idea was only a suggestion, so it can be changed to accommodate individual preferences..

Just send Jo a message or post here there is a day or so to sort it out..

Take are Carl

Much as I am pleased to be part of a pretty top notch team, I didnt think I would get the honour of skippering.  As I mentioned (when Jo peer pressured me into joining the team) I am away for probably at least two weeks, and maybe even three.  I dont want to disappoint so if she really wouldn"t mind I would like to pass the virtual armband over to Jo, who I am sure will "coax" the team into being ready each and onto glory!
