[Messiah]

GB or England?

[The Doctor]

good point - +2 for Wales/Wales+Iran!

[shovie]

Grr, that reminds of the farcical Belgium/Canada team that came 2nd in 2004, even though the canadians had enough for a team on their own....

Bellenda i think they called it.

[Craig]

?

[Boris]

What is the point of that list?

Something to aspire to be on - either on merit (Bonzini/Garlando/World Cup) or by turning up (Tornado, Roberto-Sport, Tec-Ball)

I'm sure I haven't got 5 - I can only think of 1 - ITSF World Cup.

Cheers,

You get 1 cap per fixture - at the World Cup the team played 5x matches (4x quals plus 1 KO).  At this years GWCS we played 4x matches to reach the final, whereas at RS and Tornado we got KOd in the first round and only played one match.

[davez]

Seems odd not to include World Championship fixtures as well.

I get a cap for playing in Bonzini worlds but not for representing my country?

This is for team caps.  I used to keep a list of international tournaments and UK players who competed but it hasn't been updated for ages and would be a major job now.

[davez]

Ah, no, I was suggesting you should include the ITSF World Championships, not table-specific worlds. Doesn't that better reflect what you are trying to do?

[Boris]

It is an honour to qualify for the ITSF WCs, but it is an individual, not a team, event, and the title is GB TEAM caps.

Many thanks to all who competed for their country this year, and commiseratons to those who made the trips but not necessarily the team.

Next year we have another 5x fixtures to fulfil - including the Tec-Ball WCS where we had no team this year, and RobertoSport where we were a player (forfeited match) short.  

It is important that we compete in all 5 events, as this boosts our national ranking and should ensure we get back into the top 8 or better.  For the 2010 World Cup it is likely that only the top 7 nations (plus the hosts) qualify automatically, and the rest may have to play qualification matches or run the lottery of a ballot to compete in South Africa.

List in top thread updated post-Bonzini WCS

Presumably the purpose is to provide some objective criteria for team selection purposes?

Dave, it's just a nice statistic. Let it lie!

[davez]

No, let it tell the truth.
