Hello to all international(ie not US) players on the site.
For the next 4 months qualifying will be taking place for the Ryder Cup Teams. This is the premier team competition on WGT.
It is important that the International squad is as strong as possible, If you are an International player at Master level, whether just joined or seasoned (no jokes about salt and pepper) then please take part in the qualifying process.
The qualifying is made up of 5 comps. The May, June July and August monthly free opens and one other comp in August.
If you do not feel you are of a high enough standard now, still enter because in 4 months time you may be.
Points are scored by the top 25 placed International players in these comps. SO EVEN IF YOUR SCORE IS NOT AS GOOD AS YOU WOULD LIKE ENTER IT AS YOU COULD STILL SCORE VITAL POINTS TOWARDS QUALIFYING.
At the moment we have 22 people with scores posted. This means if you hit 90 you would still pick up points so put your name down.
There 11 team spots up for grabs 9 automatic qualifiers(those with the most points after the qualifying) and 2 Captains choices. If someone is seen to have massively improved over the duration of the comp but because of a slow start not qualified they may still be picked.
If you don't post in May that is fine but make absolutely sure you post in June as missing the first 2 months counts you out of qualifying.
Not all people read the forums so if you play with International players who you think would like a go then tell them to enter.
Good luck all and lets see some serious competition for places.
