              gabby, you say you're betting USA will finish last again.

              So how about we bet?

              Also, was that a recycled video? I recognize the Trayvon Martin thing.

                        spot on, this type of grind and for what? For my big screen TV that's what, but certainly not for the World Cup.

                                I'm going to go out on a limb and say Team World will not win.

                                    They could easily win in this short series event. Your playing four handed and too many factors to really have an accurate read. My posts was definitely not meant as a shot at the players on team world but rather the ease of which you can make that team. Play a tourney or 2 a week and if your decent your locked in. US team has to play basically every day and run good to have a shot.

                                    Its done now but hopefully at least gets some thought for next year.

                                      My point was that they don't have 12 regular players and will have a lot of trouble finding people to play all the time slots. There aren't 12 people in the World region who are playing anything close to every day.

                                      Even the worst poker players could get lucky in a short series, obviously. The US had the strongest team each year in the past and finished last, so obviously the worst team could win.

                                          I think team USA will finish top 2 this time around. Just don't see them finishing last again

                                            There is only 2 or 3 people n the list who weren't on team world last year. And we had a perfect turnout for that event.



                                            For mine, I'd like to see a tourney of all 48 qualifiers every day for a week and the combined scores going to the team totals.
                                            .

                                              Team USA is very strong and with a lot mote chances since there will 12 spots to make the points unlike the other years.

                                                  For mine, I'd like to see a tourney of all 48 qualifiers every day for a week and the combined scores going to the team totals.

                                                  Problem with that is there would be rampant collusion - naturally I'm going to want to knock someone from one of the other teams out rather than one of my teammates so I would naturally play differently vs people based upon that fact which really isn't an appropriate thing to add to such a tourney.

                                                    Oh, good point.

                                                    But maybe thats ok in a team tourney too.

                                                      what I would like to see is play all against all 12 tournaments not 5

                                                        Make a few individual incentives as well to curtail this. Maybe toss an IPAD or two to the overall leaders.

                                                          For mine, I'd like to see a tourney of all 48 qualifiers every day for a week and the combined scores going to the team totals.
                                                          I guess maybe they haven't been playing since they know they don't need to play to secure a spot, but the six lowest 'cashes' are all from team world.

                                                          So I'm skeptical but we shall see.

                                                            That doesn't really solve it. Say we are three handed, and I'm playing vs. one team-mate and one non team-mate. If I have an enormous stack while the other two are crippled, it would be in my interest to fold to my team-mate (if he moves allin, or he's in the big blind) while pounding on the other guy in order to try to move my team-mate up to second before trying to win the thing.

                                                            That's just one example, but all sorts of things of that nature could occur - just seems like a bad idea to me to have such a format.

                                                            Of course I could give 100 suggestions as to what I think would be a good format (something that would either reward the US Players for having to work way harder than others to make their respective team or would simply make it more equitable in terms of making teams to begin with), but I don't see it happening. Just hope that SBR will finally fix this next year or do more formats like the Triathlon which I think the vast majority felt was more fair (no person had any inherent advantage over another!)

                                                              well then we get the 13th-17th the top players of team US. or team world top 6 play multiple slots. either course will come under fire but thats just how it is. and team world hasnt finished last since this thing started. as stated in a short series of 4 handed tourney anything can happen. i suspect the bottom 6 of team world dont play often cuz they just did enough. but that needs to be confirmed. i only play cuz i still got a couple of loans. otherwise i wouldve stopped at 2500. even then i missed at least 20 tourneys between april and august. if sbr lets our top 6 play multiple slots ill bet with you team world wont come in last place. we placed second the first year this was run , third last year (missed second place by a point).

                                                                if you schedule it properly you won't be playing against any of yur team mates. but gonna be tough to keep 12 people happy with a time slot.
