Here's an update on where things stand with scheduling for the Singles.
There are still a number of matches that we haven't heard anything about, so please do get in touch with your opponent and post here in the thread to let us know what's happening.
I'm now adding information about suggested overlap times. Find your match below. I have PM'd some participants, but would dearly love not to have to communicate to everyone, hint, hint!
-----------------
Week 3 (from Wed 10/1 to Mon 10/13) will be 12 singles matches, played over all 18 holes at Pinehurst #2 with the following conditions:
Pinehurst #2 :: 2-player Matchplay :: Scored :: Full 18 holes :: Uneven Lies :: 90 second timer :: all other conditions as set by the game lobby
Please note: Matches should end at the 18th, if they haven't ended earlier. You should not play Extra Holes. If match is tied after 18, then the result is A/S, and each team wins 1/2 pt.
The line-up for the 3rd week Singles Matches, to be completed by Mon 13th Oct, is as follows: see Chart here
ROW Team vs USA
A :: KonradOse vs mmyers0
B :: MainzMan vs GolferDadRB
C :: jsweetcr vs BigKnight
D :: Corwyn vs CerinoDevoti
E :: FairwayRuepel68 vs Devonnnnn
F :: Bonalyau vs ColumbusStorm
G :: stevereilly vs bhoese
H :: javiertorg vs JJ656
I :: Dazza501 vs Wesdogg75
J :: fmagnets vs fredsf
K :: cricketrules vs KyRock75
L :: johehejo vs iconian
A word on the process here... As as I do every time, I followed the set-out procedure for setting up matches (see bottom of page 7 of the thread), starting with 1-1, 2-2 etc of the captains' secret envelopes. Thankfully, every match has viable overlap, so the first iteration is the one we use!
Suggested dates/times for Matches:
A :: The only overlap for Konrad & mm is at the weekend, and only on Saturday, October 4th. There's a wide window, between 3-11pm UTC (8am-4pm WGT time), but perhaps the two of you can try for somewhere in the middle that overlaps most with mm's 'YES' time, e.g. 5-7pm UTC (10am-noon WGT time).
Konrad (KonradOse): suggested time, Saturday 10/4, at your 7pm local time.
mm (mmyers0): suggested time, Saturday 10/4, at your noon local time.
---------------------------
B :: The only overlap for Mainz & Ross is at the weekend, on Sunday October 5th. They're in contact and almost confirmed for evening Mainz's time, afternoon for Ross.
-------------------
C :: Jon and BK have potential overlap weekdays in their mornings (3-6pm UTC -- 8-11am WGT time), or on Saturdays (midnight to 3am UTC -- 5-8pm WGT time). They're in contact and probably looking at early midweek.
Jon (jsweetcr): depending on the day, either 9am-noon weekday, or 6-9pm Saturday
BK (BigKnight): depending on the day, either 11am-2pm weekday, or 8-11pm Saturday
-------------------
D :: The only overlap for Cerino and Corwyn is weekdays between 4-7pm UTC (9-noon WGT time). They're in contact and just trying to finalize a day next week to play, probably at 5pm UTC (10am WGT)
Corwyn: 10am local time, one weekday next week
CerinoDevoti: 1pm local time, one weekday next week
-------------------
E :: This pairing has potential overlap weekday and weekend, with best 'YES' overlap being weekend from 6-10pm UTC (11am-3pm WGT time). Devon has been in touch, but Mark may need some help with the language difference. Note that Devon is on trip to London 10/9.
Mark (FairwayRuepel68): suggested time, Saturday 10/4, at 9pm local time (7pm UTC, noon WGT)
Devon (Devonnnnn): suggested time, Saturday 10/4, at 4:30pm local time (7pm UTC, noon WGT)
-------------------
F :: This match is confirmed for Tue/Wed, Oct 7/8 at 1am UTC (6pm WGT time)
Jean (Bonalyau): your 9am local time, Wednesday, Oct 8
Russ (ColumbusStorm): your 9pm local time, Tuesday, Oct 7
-------------------
G :: This pairing is set for Sunday, Oct 5, at 4pm UTC (9am WGT time), just awaiting final confirmation.
Steve (stevereilly): your 5pm local time.
Ben (bhoese): your 11am local time.
-------------------
H :: This pairing has good overlap weekday and weekends, and can play between 10pm-2am UTC (3-7pm WGT time) weekdays, and from 10pm-midnight (3-5pm WGT time) weekends. Note that Javier is unavailable from Oct 10 onwards. Pick a day!
Javier (javeirtorg): best overlap is from your 5-7pm local time weekends or 5-9pm local time weekdays.
JJ (JJ656): best overlap is from your 5-7pm local time weekends or 5-9pm local time weekdays.
-------------------
I :: This pairing only has overlap weekends, but can play anytime between 7pm-11pm UTC (noon-4pm WGT time). Please try for this weekend first, suggested time of 7pm UTC (noon WGT time):
Darren (Dazza501): suggested time, this weekend Saturday or Sunday 10/4 or 10/5, your 8pm local time.
Wes (Wesdogg75): suggested time, this weekend Saturday or Sunday 10/4 or 10/5, your 2pm local time.
-------------------
J :: fmagnets and fredsf have completed their match already!
-------------------
K :: This pairing only has good overlap weekends, and Jack may not be available this weekend, so strong chance this match will have to be second weekend, unless the two of them can work something out. They are in contact. Suggested best 'YES' overlap for both is weekend from 9-11pm UTC (2-4pm WGT time).
Jack (cricketrules): suggested best 'YES' overlap for both of you is weekend at 10pm your local time.
Rock (KyRock75): suggested best 'YES' overlap for both of you is weekend at 5pm your local time.
-------------------
L :: This pairing only has overlap weekends, but can play anytime between 7pm-10pm UTC (noon-3pm WGT time). Please try for this weekend first, suggested time of 7pm UTC (noon WGT time), if that works with Icon's vacation.
Jorg (johehejo): suggested time, this weekend Saturday or Sunday 10/4 or 10/5, your 9pm local time.
Icon (iconian): suggested time, this weekend Saturday or Sunday 10/4 or 10/5, your 3pm local time.

What to do next?
Send Friend Requests to your opponent from the other team. Either use this forum thread to confirm your matches via public replies (please quote this post and any relevant replies to make it easier to track), or do it all via PMs. [Always post here in the thread so we know you are scheduled.]
This tourney will not work if you rely on just 'catching your opponent green' -- you must schedule a specific time and date, and be there at that time!
The USA team, as competition leaders, still have the honor, and so should set up the Singles matches and be the first to tee off.
Please each capture and share scorecard screenshots in the forum thread (winner should post if they are able; loser should capture card and save just in case it's needed). Note that there can be an A/S result, which will mean 1/2 point to each team.
Any questions, please ask here!
Thanks, and good luck to everyone, Corwyn

Now that we are down to 2-player games, it will be possible to have a 3rd player join and livestream (and hopefully, record/archive the stream) some matches.
If you are willing to have your match streamed, and have the time to have a 3rd player join you, please post here in the thread...
... and, if we have any willing 'streamers' please come forward!
