Scotland - Team Discussion
« on: August 16, 2008, 21:00:23 PM »
This thread should be used to discuss Scotland team selections for the European Team Championship. 

Players wishing to be considered for one of four places on the Scottish team should highlight the fact to non playing Captain, Stuart Oliver. 

Please bear in mind that Stuart"s selections are likely to be largely based on APAT National Rankings and Championship performances.

Neil, it"s not a new level of rubbish as I"d already found it.

Often the correct decision is the hardest to reach

Thanks to all those that have offered their congratulations on my selection as Scottish team Captain.

As I will be a non-playing captain I feel I have increased Scotlands chances of winning this event in more than one way!!

With regard team selection I must point out that posting here is not a requirement of selection as not all members use the forum. I will consider all posts/PM"s/emails etc. with nominations and information on potential players. I have also asked Des for some details to get me started and will be contacting some potential players over the following weeks.

The following points however are requirements

1. You must be Scottish (great grandfather once visiting long lost Auntie does not qualify, unlike the national rugby team >:().

2. You must be willing to play in the spirit of APAT.

3. You must be willing to put the team before yourself if required.

4. You should know a little about playing poker (hopefully with a proven track record).

Performance in past APAT events and season 2 rankings will be taken into account but will not be the sole factor in the decision making process.

Congrats once again Stuart on a gr8 appointment.

I have already PM"d you intimating I am free that weekend and would like to be considered.

I am Scottish ;), love the APAT spirit, enjoy playing as part of a team and recently became the Individual winner of the APAT UK Team Championship with my team, RTR, taking 2nd place.

Erm.. I do know a lil bit about poker..I should hope so lol and enjoy everything APAT, be it Online, Regionals and Nationals.

Anyways, good luck in choosing the team for Scotland and I put myself forward for consideration.

Cheers

I agree both Gordon and Eck would be good choices if they are interested. I"m sure there are a few more out there that I don"t know about though.
