    Corwyn:

    With any luck, our second Best-Ball match (Match D) will get played today, leaving the 4 remaining matches to be played at the weekend:

    Here is the status on those weekend matches as far as I can tell from the thread:

     

    Match F :: "this match must take place Sunday Feb 9th. I'm going to suggest that you all aim for the first time in the window": 

    Darren (Dazza501): at 7pm your local time.

    Eric (LOLserver): at 8pm your local time.

    Wes (wesdogg75): at 1pm your local time.

    John (Dakotarov): at 2pm your local time.

    ---------------------

    Our match is set for Sunday @ the first time window available for the 4 of us

    Corwyn:
    Can Nate and Gary please confirm that you will be there for the same time today?

    I hope that you will all be ready and green as per your agreed plan! And, if there is any doubt about what time it is, please all be there first at the time listed below.

    -----------------------------------------------

    D ::        johehejo & FairwayRuepel68        woodoworkery & natemakesaholein

    D :: The overlap for the 4 of you is both weekdays and weekends, between 6-10pm UTC (10am-2pm WGT time).

    Jorg (johehejo) & Mark (FairwayRuepel68): your 7pm local time.

    Gary (woodoworkery): your noon local time. 

    Nate (natemakesaholein): your 1pm local time. 

    What is happening with this match???!!!

    I just logged on to see a PM from Jorg, Mark, and Gary that you were all set but Nate cancelled.

    And now I see several of you online but busy, and no Gary now.

    If you need an alternate to step in, please see the guidelines here, and feel free to connect with Russ (ColumbusStorm) for guidance re US alternates.

    [Apologies, I can't get back online for at least another 1-2 hours]

    Got that 1i (I've put you down as unavailable for the weekend for week 3).  [Did you get my PM by the way?]

    ----------------------

    With regard to Match D...

    Match D ::        johehejo & FairwayRuepel68        woodoworkery & natemakesaholein

    I'm extremely disappointed to have heard that the German ROW pairing were again left high and dry. My understanding is that they were waiting at the first tee today for the 4th player, who didn't come online for nearly an hour, at which time the original 3rd player then declined the game invite three times without explanation.

    I'm also disappointed at the lack of response to PMs. I do realize that language differences may be partly responsible for difficulties in communication, but would have hoped that some common courtesy and explanations would have been forthcoming.

    I'm going to give this match one more attempt to play, at the same time tomorrow, Friday:

    D :: The last time for you to play your match is Friday 6pm UTC (10am WGT time).

    Jorg (johehejo) & Mark (FairwayRuepel68): your 7pm local time.

    Gary (woodoworkery): your noon local time. 

    Nate (natemakesaholein): your 1pm local time. 

    If the USA team is again unable to show up in full, and if an appropriate alternate cannot immediately be found*, then the match will be awarded to ROW (note I have the full support of the USA Team captain in this decision).

    * Please note: none of the current US alternates (which are listed below the match rows in the chart) have viable matchup to step in for this game. Russ has recruited an additional alternate, FlaTexBoy, who may be available as alternate if needed.

    Update: Gary PMd me to say he has a cable tech guy coming and expects his internet to be down, so is recommending we go with an alternate.

    I have asked FlaTexBoy to stand in, and have also had an approach from GolfingJMan to be another US alternate if needed.

    Hopefully we can still make this game happen today ... in just over 20 minutes to be precise!

    Please replace Gary (woodoworkery) with FlaTexBoy 

    Nate is still not responding to lobby invites or PMs asking what is going on. He's green but is declining to communicate for some reason.

    I suggest you try him once, and then invite GolfingJMan instead.

    Good luck!

    Merion :: 4-Player Strokeplay :: Practice Mode :: Back 9 :: Hard Pins :: Champion (Hardest) tees :: Tournament Green speed :: Moderate wind :: Uneven Lies :: 90 second timer

    P.S. Don't stand on ceremony about who has the honor (especially as the US team may be both alternates). Somebody please take the initiative and get this match underway!

    Hello - finally, our play has taken place. ROW has a point more. My partner has made it completely alone. Our opponents have demanded of us everything, however, in the end we were 1UP. Thanks for the fair play - and to many thanks to in Corwyn for his whole trouble! The best greetings Mark and Jörg
