Here is the current status on our 6 week 1 Fourballs matches.
We are now just waiting on scheduling for Match A & Match E.
Thank you everyone for jumping in and getting things organized between yourselves. It's really nice for me (especially in a busy real-life week!) not to have to send out and track progress on 23 different PM threads :)
-----------------------------------------
Week 1 (from Sat 9/20 to Mon 9/29) :: FourBall (Best Ball) series with a set of six matches to be played over 9 holes (the front 9 at Pinehurst #2) :: Match Conditions:
Pinehurst #2 :: 4-Player Strokeplay :: Practice Mode :: Front 9 :: default Pins :: Blue (Hard) tees :: Tournament Green speed :: High wind :: Uneven Lies :: 90 second timer
Please note: Matches should end at the 9th, if they haven't ended earlier. You should not play Extra Holes. If match is tied after the 9th hole, then the result is A/S, and each team wins 1/2 pt.
The line-up for the 1st week 4-Player Fourball matches, to be completed by Mon 29th Sep is as follows: see Chart here

And, as we head into the matches this weekend, please note the following:
Corwyn:Note that you will be keeping the Matchplay score as you go via the chat: the winning team per hole is the one whose Best-Ball of the 2 players is the lowest.
The ROW team, as reigning Virtual Ryder Cup champions, shall have the honor, and so should set up the matches and be the first pair to tee off.
Please designate one player per match (per team as backup) to capture and share scorecard screenshots in the forum thread. Note that there can be an A/S result, which will mean 1/2 point to each team.
Also, very important: please note, Gimme's are NOT allowed. You must put the ball in the hole! If anyone does take a Gimme, it'll count as a 10 on your card, so... Don't take a Gimme!
Good luck, everyone!
