WPT / EPT

[BigBuffet]

Shouldn't the WPT be renamed the American Poker Tour (assuming they get a new TV network) since Europe is part of the 'world'?

[Degenerasian]

no because there are WPT events in Canada, France, Bahamas and possibly more I just cant think of any

LOL I can hear it now from Vince Van Patten.

VVP: Here we are once again on the American Poker Tour, visiting the Aviation Club in Gay Paree!

Mike: You're absolutely right, Vince. Paris is one of my favorite spots here on the American Poker Tour. English journalist and poker pro Roland DeWolfe is here, defending his title as THE American Poker Champion... right here in Paris, France.

VVP: Yes, Mike, but he'll have to face his rival Surinder Sunar, who won his American Poker Tour champion title here at the Aviation Club in 2004.

Ok. In addition to the name change, the APT would just be for US and Canada events.

All I'm saying is it's stupid to me to have two tours that partially overlap with inappropraite names.

Maybe a better question is why have a EPT? Why not just have an expanded WPT that has more events in Europe?

Just wondering about this, not a big deal...

god this thread is beyond retarded

[BigBuffet]

Then you must be equally retarded for posting here

How are the names inappropriate? The World Poker Tour has events around the world. The European Poker Tour only has events in Europe. They don't even overlap since there is no EPT event in Paris.

Not to mention the fact that the EPT doesn't seem to have the WPT style final table crap shoot structure, seems like they actually care to have the players play it out, and not just big all ins for TV.

You do understand that World Poker Tour and European Poker Tour are just names right?

They could have called them the Fred Tour and the Wilma's Got Nice Buns Tour. Moreover, they aren't related so they have no reason whatsoever to coordinate the names betwixt themselves.
