  Registration term is over, so it's time to set the tournament up.

  The seeding pots (according scoring average at deadline):

  The top seeding players (Pot 1) will be placed with no draw (scoring average ranking) to head each group of four players.

  Group A (Kaymer) - PRIESTESS

  Group B (Westwood) - Pluer

  Group C (Donald) - TallAcePaul

  Group D (McDowell) - Kam4122

  The players in the remaining pots will be drawn to be placed in each group. Draw will be made at 12 PM GMT.

  We thought about a funny live streaming, but I don't know if this will be possible.

  Stay tuned for further info.

  Luciano, Thanks for the invitation and finding a spot for me .  This looks like it will be a lot of fun with some very good players and I look forward to playing with all of you (except everyone in Pots 1, 2 and 3 --- especially Vic and Villa).

  As you can all see thanks to Chuckiee agreeing to play --- I am starting in next to last position.   As long as I don't come in last place ... I will have lived up to my expectations.

  Just remember ---- it doesn't matter if you win or lose .....until you lose !!!!!!!!!

  Good luck to everyone.

  Did you take the format from the Champions League draws Luciano?

  I'm well looking forward to pitting my wits against  different players.

  Cue Luciano, Simo, Antuniccu and Bidi holding and waving a giant cotton golf ball to a dramatic piece of Italian opera whilst on-stage Ken Brown waits patiently with his long digits ready to pluck the balls out of the red, white and green bag..........

  Hi Luciano,In the round robin stage we play 3 courses against 3 players,, is that 3 games per player 1 for each loop of nine, so is that 9 games in total

  Well, CL format for R/R and WC format for the elimination bracket.

  I could seed the first 8 in WGA Season as top players in each group, but I thought this one was closest to fairness (not at all, seeing Jack, Mike, Les and Shane in 3rd and 4th pot).

  My fault, Amanda.

  As you see in full scoreboard, there six matches for each group.

  Taking your group, e.g.:

  ***

  PRIESTESS v Bidi: KIA B9

  PRIESTESS v Starsandros: BP F9

  PRIESTESS v BigKnight: SA B9

  Bidi v Starsandros: SA B9

  Bidi v BigKnight: BP F9

  Starsandros v BigKnight: KIA B9

  ***

  So all the four players play each course once.

  On friday I'll make the full fixtures (48 of them), hoping not to mess everything up. :)
