    As a final footnote to this comp, I would like to point out what a complete waste of time it was inviting extra teams from the clubs to participate when it was the intention to end up with just the original 7 clubs anyway. UKGE have 3 teams in the top 7 and yet can only enter one to play offs.  Why not just do a knock out with the 7 clubs?

    Its been fun playing with you all but this rule is absolutely ridiculous and has been a complete waste of our time.

    Hi Slor

    I'd like to congratulate you on you hard work in organising this league and also all the Captains and team members for their participation,

    I might be missing something though.....therefore I would be grateful if you would indicate where, exactly, it was pointed out in the original rules of the competition that only one team per CC would be allowed to participate in the playoffs......forgive me if I missed that and my apologies in advance for your patience.
    NB....I do not captain any team but belong to one team who are quite frankly feeling a little let down. I believe it is right and proper in a civilised society that we all obey the rules......so please indicate what they are !

    Slor,

          I am with Hugh and Chunky.  What a complete waste of my time working as hard as I could to get all of my teams matches complete.  I didn't ever see a rule about this anywhere on here.  Like chunky said if it was missed somewhere along the way then I apologize, but I really dont understand why it would be set up like that.  I am disappointed that it turned out like this.  You wanted to make this a full league, so you asked for more teams, alot of the CC's stepped up and provided you with more teams, and we get nothing in return.  Good luck to the teams that made the playoffs, sorry to the teams that got jipped out of a playoff.

    Hi Ross, Hugh, and Chunky. I hear your disappointment - you clear love the competition and I give you a huge personal thank you for stepping up. It was lovely to have all of you involved.

    The postseason playoff rules were released on 31 October .. see http://www.wgt.com/forums/p/21758/152279.aspx#152279

    Playoff seeding updates were released at regular intervals afterwards. I apologise for not copying and pasting the rules into the opening post - that would have cleared up any confusion 6 weeks afterwards.There were two reasons for this format: First, the playoff for a country club champ should have every round club v club - the idea of a possible final between two teams from the same club didn't seem right. Second, a playoff of all 11 teams would mean 5 teams would be sitting out the first round, and I didn't want to completely hault the momentum of the league in the first round of the playoffs. I see your frustration, but I hope you can understand the reasoning behind this.

    I would be happy to organise another little playoff involving UKGE B, UKGE C, NWC B and RnRR B if you wish?

    Thanks everyone for your time!

    After the discussions above, and I really mean it, my heart goes out to all you hard-working players in UKGE - this league would be so much less without you! -

    Congratulations to Deviations, who have topped the table of the Country Club League, so...

    SHALL WE HAVE SOME PLAYOFFS?

    The quarterfinal lineup is as follows... (Home team listed first)

    Rock and Roll Rasta (2) v The Old Log Cabin (7)
    UK Golfers Elite (3) v English Lakes (6)
    Norman's Webb Collective (4) v Electra (5)

    In the playoffs, all matches will be paired blind, so...

    Submit your lineups and your players for each match here by the end of Tuesday (11:59 pm WGT (California) time / 8am GMT).

    I will release the link to the lineups first thing Wednesday morning. Please note that substitutions in the playoffs will only be allowed under exceptional circumstances.

    Mike, they have worked hard - and the case that they should be in the playoffs is a strong one. However, this is something that could have been brought up 6 weeks ago. You've been a great club for us, Mike. Look forward to our re-match this week.

    It probably will be so much less without us in future.   A team 23 points behind UKGE C Team qualifies for the playoffs and we don't.   It is beyond ridiculous, a total farce.
