Finny’s World Cup 2024
Round 1
18 Hole match play @Torrey Pines
February 26th - March 10th
Air shots: Holes #7 & #12
This is the 10th year that the World Cup has been running and we have a great turn out as well with 64 teams! So this year we are having all teams involved in the knockout stages with the top 4 teams from each group playing towards the Cup and the bottom 4 teams from each group playing for the Plate.
NEW BOUNTIES FOR 2024-
We have 16 bounty players this year with 2 bounty players in each of the groups.
All Undefeated bounty players will have this symbol next to their name in the fixtures of each of the groups until they are beaten.
WORLD CUP GAMEPLAY RULES - ROUND 1
Any player with a –2 by their name must take an air shot on holes #7 and #12 in round 1 @ Torrey Pines. 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/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. If the match is completed the result will stand.
Each WC match will have a 2 week timeline to complete,
Each WC match will be played to a win, draw or lose, no sudden death 18 holes,
Any players refusing to play will forfeit their match,
Any matches not completed on time will be looked at by the world cup team and a decision will be made on the result depending on evidence of contact supplied,
Once a WC 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 IS TO BE USED AT ALL,
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.
Bounties can be found here and who's playing - https://sites.google.com/view/finnysworldcup2024/bountie
You can see who's playing who for the bounties and how they are getting on over the rounds, there's link tabs for each round if you click on them to find a match up.
If your playing against a bounty player and it's still A/S at 18 holes, you will need to Carrie on playing till there's a winner for the bounty - TEAM SCORE WILL STILL BE A DRAW

REPORTING YOUR WORLD CUP MATCHPLAY RESULTS -
You will need to post your results in the Finny’s World cup 2024 forum here - FINNY'S WORLD CUP 2024 OFFICIAL FORUM | World Golf Tour (wgt.com)
Each game being played has its own Tie # on the side of each game, use this number, with Group # and Round # and also will need the result posted as win/draw or loss, with a message summarising the match you had together.
IE- Group 4, Round 5, Tie 869 then the message about 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.
THE FIXTURES MAY SHOW ANYTIME NEAR TO THE START OF THE WC24 @MIDNIGHT UK TIME.
Good luck to all and have fun in this year's WC24.
Let's have some great golf games.
