Below are the details of the ICHUC 4 Nations (Ireland, Engerland, Scotland, Wales) team event. This will include 2 online qualifiers over the next couple of weeks which will be held on GJP.....Mike will post details soon.

Any queries PM me.

We also plan an open rebuy event on the same night with a small part of the rebuys/top-ups going to the charities www.onepercentpledge.com and www.poker4charity.com.

There will also be an auction planned with some amazing poker memorabilia up for grabs so please make an effort to support the event even if you don't qualify for the team.

************ ICHUC 4 NATIONS **********************

The ICHUC is proud and excited to be launching the ICHUC 4Nations Championship, especially given the success of the two recent ICHUC International HU Test Matches between Ireland and Great Britain.

The format used for the test matches does not lend itself for a competition involving four teams. Therefore a lot of thought has gone into providing a suitable format. This is the result.

- Teams will consist of eight players.
- Teams must contain both male and female players.
- Each team will assign each of its players a team number 1 through 8. (The exception to this is England who will substitute number 4 with number 14. This is because England have ‘retired’ number 4 in memory of Mark Williams who was tragically killed just weeks before he was due to represent England at number 4.)
- Players with the same team number are then pooled and are drawn to determine their first round match.
- The winners of the first round matches then play the other winner within their pool.
- In the third round (quarter final) the winner of pool 1 will play the winner of pool 2, winner of pool 3 will play the winner of pool 4, winner of pool 5 will play the winner of pool 6 and winner of pool 7 will play winner pool 8.
- In the fourth round (semi finals) winner pools 1/2 will play winners pool 3/4 and winner pools 5/6 will play winner pools 7/8.
- The final will be between the two remaining players.
