Not too late, Duffputt... The deadline for players to fill out the form was today, 1/12. I should have been more specific, but the meaning was end-of-day, i.e. midnight WGT time.
Since all the automatic qualifiers filled out the form early, we were able to announce the teams, including captain's picks.
The second post of the event Qualification Thread outlines the process by which alternates will be used:
Alternates:
We will certainly need alternates [...]
Alternates will be selected, first and foremost, from the Fall UEL Tour standings [USA; ROW] as follows: 1st alternate is next player for each team from the Combined Best 9 Credits list, then 2nd alternate for each team is the next player from Combined Best 9 Relative to Par list, and so on, switching back and forth down the list.
Once we see which of the potential alternates provide availability data, I'll publish a list for each team as to the order in which players will be approached if needed.
Note that there has to be some flexibility, as an alternate will most likely be stepping in for a particular player, and be needed to fit into a particular time slot. Thus the process is to go down the team's list finding the first player in order whose availability matches the need. In the past, it's also been helpful to have alternates on standby, going 'green' at the time of a scheduled match, and thus on hand if a teammate doesn't show.
Potential alternates should stay in touch with the thread. Thanks!
