Captains
Like in the real Ryder Cup, each team will have a Captain. The Captain can choose whether he/she wants to
take part as a player or wants to be a non-playing Captain. If the
Captain chooses not to play, he/she must say so as soon as elected, and there
will be one more qualifying spot for the team.
Captain for the US team is: Buggyyy
Captain for the ROW team is: Funkyjunkie3000
Captains will be required to choose the pairings for the fourballs and
the alternate shot games when the time comes. They are allowed to recruit
players for the qualifying process and are also expected to raise team spirit.
Wild cards
Team Rest Of World:
The nine qualifiers plus the Captain (or the extra spot if the Captain
chooses not to play) add up to ten players, which means we are still
missing two players for the team. Just like at the real Ryder Cup, the Captains choose two
player to complete their team. The two wild cards must be chosen from the pool
of players who took part in the qualifying.
Team USA:
The seven qualifiers plus the Captain (or the extra spot if the Captain
chooses not to play) add up to eight players, which means we are still
missing four players for the team. Just like at the real Ryder Cup, the Captains choose
four player to complete their team. The four wild cards must be chosen from the
pool of players who took part in the qualifying.

Format of play
There will be three
different formats of play, just like in the real Ryder Cup.
Time Schedule
Alternate shot
Alternate shot
will be played in pairs. The pairings will be decided by the Captains, who can
take advice from the players as to who they would like to play with as a
partner.
There will be eight
alternate shot matches played, meaning that four players from each team
will have to play twice. Alternate shot will take up the first twelve days of
the virtual Ryder Cup. Played from 9th of November to 20th
of November)
CONDITIONS: 18 holes at The Olympic Club
Doubles match play
This will be normal
doubles match play (nine holes). We play in pairs and the score that counts is
the lowest of the pair.
Example: Harrington
takes a 3, Mickelson and Woods both take a 4 and McIlroy takes 6. Even
though, if you add up the scores, U.S.A. have taken less shots, Team
World would win because the lowest score is Harrington’s.
There will be
another eight matches of doubles, so, again, four players from each team will
have to play twice. Doubles will take up another twelve days of the virtual
Ryder Cup. Played from 21st of November to 2nd of December.
9 holes ranked stroke play at The Olympic Club, front or back 9 was randomly determined per match
Individual match play
Just like in the real
Ryder Cup, the last part of the tournament will consist of 18 holes of
individual match play. One player from Team World against one from USA. Played from 3rd
of December to 16th of December.
CONDITIONS: 18 holes match play at The Olympic Club

Qualification Process
The
qualification process lasted from Monday, September the 17th and end
at Sunday, November the 4th. It consisted of the weekly 18-Hole
Single Play tournaments for 7 weeks in a row as well as the October 18-Hole Open. In total, these were 8 qualifying events. Eligible to qualify were Legends and Tour Legends. The points
system was similar to the points system of last year:
1st place per event of the scores submitted received 30 points
The points then decreased by 1 point per rank until the 30th place received 1 point. In case of a tie, the points for the regarding places were added and then divided by the number of tied players.
