Team UK - Squad Announcement

Posted by Ripper at 17:50 24/3/2003.

Leading upto the announcement of the Nations Cup captains Obi and myself had been preparing just incase we were selected, and just incase the UK had to go through the qualifiers. We spent all last week watching many demos of some of the UK's finest and we'll continue to do so up until late tonight.

Fortunately, the UK will head straight into the group phases with the first match scheduled to take place in the week beginning 14th April. But needless to say we still intend to get the team ready and as such we'll be announcing the squad Wednesday night so they can begin their practice for the opening game. Here's the details of the squad announcement:

So be there Wednesday night and get ready to flame flame flame.

no it isnt craig, hence the time the uk team did well was when the whole of i-es was picked, so that everygame 2 of them would be able to play. It was jonny who came up with these only picking 2 from each for the squad, and last time we saw that some of the best werent available to play, so ended up using much weaker players, when other players from the top teams would have been available.....

It's not a cb rule, the cb rule states that only 2 players per clan can play at the same time. If we wanted we could just pick all ONE/omg players and an extra, but that wouldn't get the majority's approval and there are plenty of players who deserve a shot, or another chance, at team uk.

Are the captains actually gonna speak to each player before hand to actually check they want to play, and are prepared to practice? cause i know some1 who's likely to be a definite pick who wont be assed to play for uk team, let alone practice. [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

best 2 from ONE
best 2 from marines
best 1 from disturbed
best 1 from lc

from what ive seen that would give the highest 'skill level' team :)

A national team may never have more than 2 members of the same active CS clan playing at the same time. For this rule players are considered to still be members of any clan they've been a member of (no matter how briefly) after 30 September 2002, and any clan that was active after that date is still considered to be an active clan. National captains are expected to know the full clan history of any player they wish to field; not knowing it will not be an excuse to break this rule. If any doubt is possible about the membership of a certain player in a certain clan (e.g. because of a try-out) then the captain must always get permission from the supervisor before using that player. There is no limit on how many members of the same clan can be registered with a national team.
That's the player rule by the way. Sounds really messed up to me, especially that "September 2002" bit. Sounds like *every* clan that has had a player play for them since then has to count them as a member. :s [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

so according to that rule dart is a player for omg and ONE? and therefore if picked means only 1 other player from omg and ONE can play at the same time as him?

Ex- (I s*** you not, Mat deserves a chance and I know I'll probably get flamed for saying it)

Toomy (if the ISDN rule is being scrapped or he could get to a LAN to play from)

Keiju

Righteous

Otherwise I'd like to see CrowdeR get a shot at it if Toomy couldn't get a place for whatever reason. Jay just got ADSL and is playing some of the best CS I've seen in a while recently =]

I don't really see how it will be possible to pick a team that wont break that 2 player per clan rule after sept 2002.

The clan history of uk players is quite incredible and it will be very difficult nearly impossibly to pick a team without 3 players that have at some time pld in a clan under the same name. [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]
