    OK - here comes the first round draw! All six teams will play in the first round. FYI, the seminfinals will contain the three winners and one loser picked at random.

    USA1 (c) v Australia
    USA3 (c) v Great Britain
    USA2 (c) v USA4

    (c) = choice of golf course in Scored (singles match play) / Ranked (fourball / stroke play... only way to get 4 players on the course. But keep the score as in match play e.g. 1up etc.) mode. This team is also "Team A" in the competition format.

    Deadline = End of day 14 December (Pacific time). You can decide to play your singles/fourball matches in any order, but if you are able to follow the match schedule in the first post, that would be great.

    Some titanic matches in store here with some great players. Really pleased with the quality throughout all the teams.

    Good luck!

    Good luck all .... May the team with the best name win. 

    Oh wait ... Looks like my team is the only one with a name.  Do we get points for that ???

    Howdy Slor,

    Few questions for you.

    1. Is there any particular course we're supposed to play?  If not who chooses the course?
    2. Are the singles matches medal or match play?
    3. Is the team round combined or best ball?

    Thanks,

    Jake

    2. Are the singles matches medal or match play?
    3. Is the team round combined or best ball?

    Maybe it's time for a quick recap. The team drawn with a (c) has a choice of which 9 holes they wish to play for all the matches in the tie. All matches are match play, including fourball = best ball out of each pair is the score that counts. 

    Format of each tie (all 9 holes, all played until a winner):
    Each team selects 2 players to play in the opening singles. 
    Match 1: Team A Player 1 v Team B Player 1
    Match 2: Team A Player 2 v Team B Player 2

    Each team selects 2 players to play in the fourball. The player who did not play in the first singles games must play in the fourball. (In this scenario, both teams picked player 2 to play in the fourball.)
    Match 3: Team A Players 2 and 3 v Team B Players 2 and 3

    The final two singles matches will be played by the player who played singles but not fourball and the player who played fourball but not singles. (In this scenario, both teams picked player 1 to play both singles.)
    Match 4: Team A Player 1 v Team B Player 3
    Match 5: Team A Player 3 v Team B Player 1

    OK Got it .. the format makes sense.  Slor unless I messed up here is how our match is going to be as follows:

    Captains Lou and Brandi have met and agreed on the following for our Match.

    All Matches on Bethpage Back 9.  Singles matches in Match Play / Scored Mode. Fourball (best ball) match in Stroke Play / Ranked Mode.

    Singles Match 1) BolluxInBruges vs.Iconian

    Singles Match 2) Vabighack vs. Brandi

    Fourball (best ball) Match 3)  Vabighack and lvietri vs. Brandi and Jarid

    Singles Match 4) BolluxInBruges vs.Jarid

    Singles Match 5) lvietri vs. Iconian

    All Matches on Bethpage Back 9 (I believe the captain picks one venue for all matches). Also all singles matches are match play.

    Singles Match 1) BolluxInBruges vs.Iconian

    Singles Match 2) Vabighack vs. Brandi

    Fourball (best ball) Match 3)  Vabighack and lvietri vs. Brandi and Jarid

    Singles Match 4) BolluxInBruges vs.Jarid

    Singles Match 5) lvietri vs. Iconian

     

     

    Great! Just a quick reminder that it isn't a requirement to use the singles players from match 2 in the fourball, just that the singles player from matches 1&2 who plays in the fourball can't play in matches 4&5.

    A quick default way of conducting a tie unless captains agree otherwise:

     

    1. Both captains nominate their players (2) for matches 1&2.
    2. The players are randomly placed into matches 1&2. (Suggestion: flip a coin for your player in match 1 and the other goes into match 2). Report which player goes into which match to the other captain.
    3. Play singles matches 1&2. Match play / scored (this means 1up etc)
    4. The captains then nominate one of the players in matches 1&2 to play in match 3 (fourball) with the third team member.
    5. Play fourball match 3. Match play. Use stroke play/ranked option to enable 4 players on WGT.
    6. Pair the player on one team who played in either matches 1&2 but not match 3 with the player on the other  who has only played once (in match 3) to make matches 4&5.
    7. Play singles matches 4&5. Match play
    8. Go to the 19th...

    So basically ... each player on your team plays two times.   One player plays in 2 match play, the other 2 players play one match play and together in fourball.   The only question I was wondering is ... could we have set it up this way?    Can 2 players play each other twice in match play of is that not allowed.

    1) BB vs Ivon

    2) vabighack vs. Brandi

    3) vabighack & lvietri vs. Brandi & Jarid

    4) BB vs. Icon (for the 2nd time)

    5) lvietri vs Jarid.

    Nope - no rematches. The player who plays singles a second time must play the player who just played fourball.
