    Hi LOL .. to answer your question .. there are a few reasons I limited the challenge to 16.

    1)  It's hard to get everyone to commit to the time necessary to do any of the community tournaments.  Setting up matches is tuff when folks work, have families etc.   That is why we are only doing 1 on 1 matches --- coordinating 4 players schedules is a chore. Also we  only have a small club so to get 16 of our best to agree is not a bad percentage.   Plus , we all know that this convoluted WGT average is not the only measure of how well a player does.

    Remember too .. even though there are 16 on each team --- only 12 will play in each round --- so the captains will have to juggle their lineups.

    Thanks for the answer Ivietri,

    You said 4 players schedule?, I must have read the first post wrong, though it was only 1 x 1 match game, sort of CC vs CC = Deviatios vs All Stars. Please correct me if I am wrong.

    I can understand that Deviations would be in theoretic disadvantage if more then 12/16 players because the All Stars team would put only the very best of the "rest" of WGT top players. Although this is suppose to be only for fun, no mater who wins.

    Inviting 48 players to get the best 12/16 could be a tough hazard.... as you can see in previous posts. 

    I could imagine that choosing the best top players with best match results could have perhaps been an easier selection process.

    Anyways, hope we all get FUN!!!..no matter who qualifies or who win the final invitational.

    Cheers, Eric

    btw, you can all me Eric, Ivietri.

    Eric,

    You understood it correctly.    I was trying to say that we all know it's very hard to coordinate 4 players into a game for a challenge such as this.    So Alternate Shot or Better Ball is difficult to commit to and was not included in this challenge.  

    Doing this as three 1 on 1 eighteen hole matches is one of the ways we decided would get everyone on both teams to commit to play.

    And your right .. we hope it will be fun :).   No drama this time like in the last 2 tournaments I ran ... ha ha ha.

    Thanks for the invite godelescher. Since this event will likely start next week I'll need to decline. I'll be on vacation next week and don't think I'll have access at the beach house.

    Thanks again and hope to participate if there are other similar events in the future.

    godelescher:

    48 people is two rounds of knock out match play. After two rounds, 12 people will remain. Those twelve people are automatically in.

    Thank you for replying with full details to my dumb question :) . Much appreciated. It's all clear now.

    Regards
