Here we are again, 2023 Finny's world cup
ROUND 1
27th Feb - 12th March
18 Hole Matchplay @ Kiawah
Well it's that time again for another edition of Finny’s World Cup. This year we have 48 teams fighting it out for the cup or the plate. WE also have some added extras this year with the bounties where if you beat a top 6 player from last year you can win prizes, also we will be doing a live draw once the groups are over for the bottom 16 teams, where 1 member from each team could win a sleeve, plus we will be doing a random draw where everyone that's playing in this year's World Cup will be entered into a draw for a sleeve also, and we have 8 sleeves that are up for grabs for this.

RULES -
Any player with a –2 by their name must take an air shot on holes #2 and #11
There is an example on page 1 of the forum on how to take an air shot.
If a mistake has been made on air shots not taken it must be replayed from the point of the shot and hole and this could take time so be aware please that you know which holes they must be taken on before the match starts that’s for both players and if the match is completed the result will stand.
Each match will be played to a win, draw or lose, no sudden death 18 holes,
Each match will have a 2 week timeline to complete
Any players refusing to play will forfeit their match
Any matches not completed on time will be looked at by me and the team and a decision made on the result depending on evidence supplied,
Once a match has been played the result will stand, So it’s up to all players to check the opponents tier before start of play
I would suggest a 90 sec shot clock with maximum timeouts, there’s no panic to get the game played and have a chat in-between
if both players agree they can have 60 or 45 that would be their choice,
NO apparel unless agreed by both players,
No focus boosts will be allowed during matches. Use of this tool will lead to a disqualification
Any team members giving advice on any shots/putts to another player on any chat forum and found out, the player and the adviser will be disqualified from the rest of the comp.
Players please when posting results, I would like group number, teams and players please and a short post of the match
Let’s keep the forum busy but no negative comments from anyone, if you have a problem contact your captain first and they will contact the other captain, We don’t really want to be involved unless we have to.
That’s about it for now, have a great world cup to everyone that's playing this year and have some fun out there.
