  Great! Sign-ups moving along nicely...

  David, do note that it's certainly OK to ask to play just one match (as mm posted above). With this being a busy time of year for many people, we're not expecting full 3-match commitment from everyone.

  Here's the current list of sign-ups so far ... need a few more US players if anyone wants to nudge some friends.

  Team ROW: (9)

  Corwyn

  mkrizan86

  Andivo

  JoeMaverick

  razza31

  Matildalgaly

  Daskino

  FairwayRuepel68

  johehejo

   

  Team USA: (6)

  ColumbusStorm

  fredsf

  Wesdogg75

  tygerjr

  mmyers0 (1 match)

  Hmmm.... ab, you must be being moderated (?). Your post wasn't there earlier (nor was FairwayRuepel's). Maybe there's some new criteria for frequency of posting in the main forums to stay 'active' from WGT's perspective... ?

  Anyway, here's what I believe is the current state of sign-ups:

  Team ROW: (9)

  Corwyn

  mkrizan86

  Andivo

  JoeMaverick

  razza31

  Matildalgaly

  Daskino

  FairwayRuepel68

  johehejo

   

  Team USA: (7)

  ColumbusStorm

  fredsf

  Wesdogg75

  tygerjr

  mmyers0 (1 match)

  Thanks for the extra information, Ab.

  We have two more signups direct to the spreadsheet: Pierolitifaba (for ROW), and Papagrasutu (for USA).

  So we now have 10 ROW players and 8 USA players.

  If anyone else is interested, please post here by tomorrow. I'm hoping to start work on possible pairings, and give notice of potential matches to start early next week (or possibly even this weekend, if there are some overlaps that are weekend only).

  Hi Corwyn,

  i'm so sorry but commitments to unexpected and unpredictable that they will see me involved in the last two weeks of May and early June, I can not participate in the tournament.

  I apologize so much.

  Ciao

  Last minute signup.

  I'll give it a whirl for the USA if there is still a spot available.

  @Federico: Sorry to hear you can't play after all.

  @Dave: Wonderful news!

  That now gives us 9 players each team. With mmyers0 only able to play one match, we'll try and make that one a Singles, and if scheduling allows, have the last 2 ROW signups each miss one of the multiplayer games (or whichever players have the most limited availability).  

  Edit: on second thoughts, there's no real reason not to have extra matches. So, I'll consult with Russ, but we may allow captains to pick someone who gets to play more than once in each series, so that everyone who wants to play 3 times can.

  Thus, 4 x Fourball, 4 x AltShot, and 9 x Singles.

  Thus, 5 x Fourball, 5 x AltShot, and 9 x Singles.

  I'll get to work on the Time Availability Chart today and consult with Russ (ColumbusStorm) regarding each team's viable pairings and match-ups.

  Please keep an eye on this thread and respond quickly, to help save me the time it takes to PM and WallPost everyone. Thank you!

  We got another last-minute US signup, from philbrown4, so he makes the US team up to 10 but with mm only able to play once.

  Russ and I decided that, rather than allow an ROW player to play an extra singles, it would be fairer to have mm play the 4Ball as his one match, leaving the singles as 9 v 9.

  So, we will have 5 matches each in Fourballs and Foursomes, and 9 Singles.

  Russ and I have consulted this morning on viable pairings. I will need to confirm a few things with certain players, but we think we have a line-up that will work for every match, with quite a lot of variety in pairings and opponents.

  Please look out for the match-list very soon (probably this afternoon).
