    I believe we have finally have everything straightened out so here goes:
    Tournament
    The tournament will begin on March 3rd with the last round taking place the week ending March 31st. It will be Single Elimination 18 Holes with the winners of Round 1 moving on to Round 2. As you all know I had originally planned for this to be a Double Elimination tournament so all the teams would get to play twice. That being the case there will be a separate losers bracket where each team will get a second chance to play. The losers of Round 1 will play each other in Round 2 with the winners moving on to Round 3. The losers of the winners bracket in Round 2 will get to play the winners of the losers bracket in Round 3 and the same with Round 4. I hope this makes sense.

    Pairings
    The only way that I could figure out how to make the first round pairings fair is to take the 16 teams and divide them up by the region they are representing and put them in two separate containers and draw 1 each out of each one. This is the only way that I can see that would not show that I am showing any kind of favortism towards any team and their first round match-up which is the most crucial of them all. Granny has done the picking and the match-ups will be:

    The Whinning Pussies vs. Pole Positions
    good kush vs. Wassermänner
    Aussies Down Under vs. The Cereal Killers
    UHH vs. Maulwurftöter
    Unbeatables vs. Racefans
    Cuppers vs. Dreamteam
    Bremskloetze vs. Unbalanced
    Uneven Liars vs. Birdierabbits

    I have hired a personal bodyguard for granny because hyena64 might be coming after her. LoL!

    The tournament bracket can be found Here.
    Keep in mind this is the main bracket for the tourney for all four rounds. The losers bracket will be posted after Round 1.

    All prizes will be gifted by me and they are:

    Screenshots & Scorecards

    Each Team must post a screenshot of the fairway & green showing Uneven Lies & the Green Speed. Now to really make things interesting and to put some suspense into this tournament, not forgetting the fun, I propose this:
    After you have completed your round is that you post your screenshots and talk about how your round went but send the scorecards to me. I talked about suspense earlier, this is where the suspense kicks in.

    Example: Team x posts their screenshots before team y and talks about how their round went without devulging their score. This tells team y that they have played their round but doesn't know what their score is. After all scorecards Front & Back 9 are sent to me I will post them Team vs. Team all in one reply so there is no searching from page to page to find them.

    Here is my email address: mnshiner

    Did I get this right?

    We play Starter clubs & balls except for the putter.

    Each team plays for itself as a two-ball, no need to find transatlantic tee-off times.

    Each team posts report+proof pics and sends the scorecards to you by mail. The match is then resolved indirectly by score comparison.

    Who is responsible for the best ball counting of each team? Players? Committee?

    1. Correct

    2. Correct

    3. Correct

    Who is responsible for the best ball counting of each team? Players? Committee?

    The scorecards will be in plain view, if I make a mistake counting the scores then I can be corrected as you have done in the past.

    I am counting on Honesty here that there will be no re-starting except for the random 3 before hand to get you folks in the groove.

    Was just making a joke David. It's all good.

    Now let me get back to this:
    Question: are we simply on the honor system (hope everyone is familiar with & honorable about) to play just one round that "counts", or are we just to turn in the best we can do for the week?

    I cannot be there to watch what you players are doing so I am really counting on Honesty, after all it is just a game.
