see post above for explanation of how these spreadsheets work
Below are updated sheets for each Team's qualification status following wk24 results at Kiawah in the UEL Spring Tour. Please check that everything is correct: I'm fairly sure I captured every player that declared an interest in qualification but please make sure.

Team ROW: final team qualification standings after wk24 tourney
fmagnets and Corwyn secure their slots on the ROW team by virtue of being the leading players in the TL and L tier credit standings respectively (indeed, they both won their Tours. Congrats!)
The next 4 spots go to the next best placed players in the combined best 9 finishes in the credit standings: KonradOse, Wontonamo, javiertorg, and niqueclyde fill those positions.
The final 4 spots go to the next best placed players in the combined best 9 scores relative to par standings: they are TallAcePaul, johehejo, FairwayRuepel68, and MainzMan.
The ROW team is made up of these 8 TL and 2 L players, with 2 captain's picks to be made closer to the event.
The ROW team qualification was especially hard-fought, with many outstanding players and RC veterans just missing out on automatic qualification. As it is certain that alternates will be needed, I hope that RC stalwarts such as stevereilly (who, along with lisalovesthesun, was just 3 shots off the pace, and in all probability just one extra round played would have been enough for either of them), Dazza501, Bonalyau, LOLserver, jsweetcr, alcaucin, and WigerToods will all make themselves available as needed. And for the newcomers, lisa came awfully close, as did other Legend emmalinks and cricketrules. One feels that with full participation every week, each of these players would have made the team. Hopefully we can get a good number of them involved in some way come September.
Team USA: final team qualification standings after wk24 tourney
bhoese and mmyers0 secure their slots on the USA team by virtue of being the leading players from their country in the TL and L tier credit standings respectively.
The next 4 spots go to the next best placed players in the combined best 9 finishes in the credit standings: KyRock75, BigKnight, ColumbusStorm (US team captain), and Wesdogg75 fill those positions.
The final 3 spots go to the next best placed players in the combined best 9 scores relative to par standings: they are fredsf, gishdrums, and poolmaniac6.
The USA team is made up of these 8 TLs and 1 L player, with 3 captain's picks to be made closer to the event (one of which is reserved for WGTicon, who will play as Iconian).
On the US side, players unlucky to miss automatic qualification include devonnnn (whose 3 missed weeks along with 2 rounds of +2 certainly cost him), while Golfhawk's promotion mid-Tour to TL made it harder to get the extra credits that would have found him a spot (he fell just 50 cr short).
But, again, with the certainty that alternates will be needed, US players that missed out should keep in touch with this thread and be ready for a call come September!

Thank you everyone for your participation in the Spring UEL Tour and for battling away for Ryder Cup qualification.
Congratulations to all those who made automatic team selection, and commiserations to those that fell short.
I look forward to connecting with you all again at the end of the summer in preparation for the UEL Ryder Cup @ Pinehurst!
