FINNYS MATCHPLAY HANDICAP
KNOCKOUT
Hello all
Welcome to my handicap knockout competition
Thanks to all players for putting
their name forward and i hope you all enjoy yourselves however long you stay in
the competition,somebody has to go in the first round lol.
This competition is 18 hole matchplay
format involving 128 players from champions down to masters,
For the lower tiers its a chance to
take on the big boys with a few holes in the bag and watch and learn and maybe
give them a game,
There are 7 rounds in total including
the final ,
the idea of the game is to beat your
opponent to get into the draw for the next round simple,
i will post all the courses to be played each round with the last 3 being
the hardest well to me anyway lol,
All games will be ranked/scored i
want to make it fair for all tiers,
For the first round i will give 4
weeks to complete but if completed i will draw the next round and all other rounds 2 weeks,
If you are having a problem
contacting a player or arranging a game,let me know asap and i will try and
sort it,i know all games are probably not going to be completed but we will
try,i have a few reserves who can step in and if no show at all and i can see a
player has done everything possible to get in touch,then they can go forward
by default,
There will be a handicap system between tiers to give the lower tiers a
slight chance,
CH 55 and
below average at time of play V TL 2 holes,L 3 holes,TM 4 holes,M 5 holes
CH v TL 1 hole
CH v L 2 holes
CH v TM 3 holes
CH v M 4 holes
TL
v L 2 holes
TL v
TM 3 holes
TL v M 4 holes
L v TM 2 holes
L v M
3 holes
TM v M 2 holes
I hope this makes sense to you all and fair,i
know there may be a few who disagree but this decision if final and hey its a
bit of fun.
The holes conceded will be from the
handicap index chart on each course,i will post the hole/holes to be concede
between tier when i post the round matches,its the only
thing i can go by and its the same for all,
There is a 5000 credit purse up for
grabs
1/ 2,500 credits
2/ 1400 credits
3/ 700 credits
4/ 400 credits
If the players are up for it,i would
like the chance to win my money back over 9 holes
Matchplay and they can pick the
course or take the money,we will see, be a bit of fun.
