ECOAP - European Championship Of Amateur Poker - Discussion

[AMRN]

I disagree completely Paulie. It"s a team competition, and every team will have the same number of players in each round - four, and can only score the same number of points per round as every other team.  One player from a team of five will always be excluded during each round. So, why should one team therefore contribute more to the overall prizepool than another team?

It"s more likely that the Eng, Ire, Wal, Sco, teams will have five players whilst other teams have four, due to the mandate to pick the highest scoring online league player.

Yes, I"m with Steve on this.  Every team has the option of naming a squad of 5 if they wish, however we won"t require them to have 5.  4 players can only contribute at any one point and for that reason the entry fee per team is £400 + £40.

As I recall the highest scoring player is guaranteed a place...not that they will play.

I think the number of players per round are irrelevant..if you have a deeper squad you have an advantage over those who DON"T have a team of 5.

I suppose, in an ideal world, it would make sense for every team to field of squad of 5 but that wasn"t the mandate.

EDIT: However, Des has spoken.

A little irrelevant really. Wouldn"t be very fair to have someone end up being the highest scoring player, get a "place" in the squad, turn up at DTD having paid hotel and travel costs, and then not get a game.

True...but I didn"t make the stipulation....I"m just clarifying stating that it"s there.

The entry fee per player for the event will be £100 + £10 and there will be a fee for two international shirts of around £30.

Des - If a captain selects five players, will the team be required to pay 5 x £100 + £10 as they will have the advantage of an additional player ?

Secondly, if a team with five players finishes in a medal position, will that team be awarded five medals ?

      it would only seem fair that if 5 players take part and the team reach medal positions that each player should receive a medal as they will have all paid similar amount for entry fee and hotel etc

I thought it was kind of a rhetorical question tbh, everyone just ignored that half of the post  

[Des]

Sorry missed the second half!  Yes, five medals will be made available.
