The date has been set for the International Team Event.

1 team per nation. 4 players per team.

A great event running for many years.

Again this year Lisbon in the host. They have selected a new venue
you can go to the web address of the portugueuse hosts at www. ajsportugal.org/Cordoaria.html

Please start assembling your teams. Any questions just ask.

Team from Great Britain assembled. We look forward to crossing swords with our international brethren in September.

Somewhat amusingly, I actually qualified to play for the US team in Lisbon as well. Despite the howls of outrage and incentives offered by the GB team for me to play for the US I felt honour bound to play for the GB team.

For those for whom English is not their first language may I translate...

'Despite the howls of outrage and incentives offered by the GB team for me to play for the US I felt honour bound to play for the GB team'

can otherwise be read as

'Despite the howls of outrage and incentives offered by the GB team for me to play for the US, the US team offered bigger incentives not to play for the US so I felt honour bound to play for the GB team'...

Food is more important than morals!

No you didn't actually. But the facts never bother you.

Why let the facts spoil a good story Dan?

But even though he didn't officially qualify he was in the winning qualification team and we don't mind if you bend the rules.

Consider it something like putting Tibetan in the elephant period.

Are you still banging on about that? Let it go.
