    thought i would put this on

    its the outline of the world cup comp for anyone who is not involved but would like to follow the progress of it.

     

     

    The  world cup of golf 201

     

    hello  all

    this is all you need to know about the comp

    happy reading

    let me know if i have missed anything

    Here are the details of the comp.

     

     

    First and  foremost all groups/results,squads  and tables  will be on page one of the forum,

    You will need a google account to view them,its easy to sign up and it doesn’t cost you anything

     

     

    There are four  groups with eight teams in each group

    There  are 8 players  in each  team to  with up to 4 subs.

     

    there  will be a handicap system involved between tiers if matched to play

     

    I

    THE HANDICAPS BETWEEN TIERS

     

    Stableford

     

     CH,TL V L=2 points ,TM =4 points,M=6 points

     LV,TM =2 points,M =4  points               HIGHER TIER TO DEDUCT POINTS

    TMS V .M =2 points

     

     

    Matchplay

     

    CH,TLS V L = 2 holes ,TM = 3holes,M=4 holes

    L V TM =2 holes, M =3 holes                HIGHER TIER TO CONCEDE HOLES   

    TMS V M ,=2 hole

     

     

    Strokeplay

     

    CH,TLS V L =2 strokes,TM=4 strokes,M=6 strokes

    L V TM =2 strokes,M =4 strokes             HIGHER TIER TO ADD STROKES

     

    TMS V .M =2 strokes

     

     

     

    each team  in the  group will play each other  once  on one of the  three  different   formats on  seven  different assigned  courses all ranked

     

     

     

    Matchplay,strokeplay,stableford

     

    each match will be two weeks,

     

    3 points win.1point draw

     

    After they have completed the group  format,the top  four  teams from each group will go forward to the knockout stages.

     

    In the event of teams on the same points,the team with the  most wins will go through,if level then the team with the least losses will go through if that fails result against each other will go through hopefully we wont need to go that far.

    But if they do,there will be a play-off

    3 players from each team closest to the pin   with the combined closest scores from the 3 players

    Going through

    PAIRING UP PLAYERS

     

     the order of the team the captain sends me 1-8 is the order i will post regardless of tier,i will just put both teams together,a bit like the ryder cup

    handicaps will apply

     

     

     

    RULES

     

    Each match will be played to a win,draw lose no sudden death(matchplay),league matches only

    Each match will have a 2 week timeline to complete

    Any matches not completed on time will deemed void,want to keep the comp moving on,

    Any players refusing to play will forfeit their match,

     

    Any gimmies must be agreed by both players before start(matchplay),

     

    any player  with a - and a number  by their name must concede designated hole/s(matchplay)refer to the handicap chart,

    any player with a + and number by their name must add strokes to their final score(strokeplay)

    any player with a -  and number by their name must deduct points from their final score(stableford)

     

     

     

    KNOCKOUT STAGES

     

     handicaps wont apply in extra time(matchplay)

    games must go to a finish,if so start again till there is a winner

     

     

    TIMER

     at the moment we have a 60sec timer,players must agree before they play if they want 60sec or 90secs,wouldnt bother me either but in the last comp,some players complained about slow play so i would say 60sec is plenty.

     

     

    MATCHPOINTS

     

    Each match will be worth points  in every game 

    3 points=win , 1 point=draw ,0points=loss,void games 0

    So if you win all your matches in one round total=24 points

    Every match will count towards your total.

     

     

    REPLACING/ADDING NEW PLAYERS,PICKING TEAMS

     

    any team of 8 players for each round must come from your squad only

    somebody tried last comp and i had to have a word,

    if a player is not able to play their match due to something private,you can replace them but you must inform the other team captain,

     

     once squads are in,you cannot add to the squad if less than 12 unless a player has been active at your club for at least 2 months prior to the start date,

    any players leaving the club or dropping out of the squad for personnel reasons can be replaced but only by a player of the same tier,

    any tier changes must be reported to me please,

     

     

     

     

    THE ARRANGING RULES PLEASE READ

     

    Arranging matches

    Player 1

    If you are the player 1 it is up to you to send a friend invite to your opponent and keep an eye on your friend list to make sure he has accepted it. If they do not accept it after 3 days let your captain know ASAP please.

    Once they have accepted your friend invite it is up to them to send you a message stating what time zone they are in and what days and times they can play there match with you

    You then can reply with an answer from there pick of times and dates but please remember to check the time difference 6pm where you are not 6pm all over the world so please adjust the time difference.

    Player 2

    If you are the player 2 you just wait for a friend invite once you have received it you need to send him some dates that you can play your match

    Something like this

    Hi thanks for the friend invite my time zone is GMT

    Times I can play are

    Thursday 24th at 7pm to 8pm my time

    Friday 25th at 8pm to 9pm my time

     ETC the more dates you can give them the better

    But please make sure you put a time not just Thursday night or Friday night.

     Do not wait for a player to be green

    That does not mean anything.state an exact time between you when you

    Both free and play,

    Its simple really

    PAULFINN52:
    each team  in the  group will play each other  once  on three  different   formats on  seven  different assigned  courses all ranked

    This is confusing. Do we play the same team the first 3 rounds?

    (Might be being dense here. )

    That's what I'm not seeing-the 2nd round is against the same team in a different format?

    the way it works my  friend is

    7 games , you will play each team once only

    3 matchplay,2 strokeplay,2 stableford

    example,you might be playing  be rodeo clowns matchplay then friends of seve stableford and then the grande oaks strokeplay and so on ok.

    will publish the groups on page 1 over the weekend so you will see what i mean 

    this is why it takes time to get all the questions out the way  so everyone is happy
