Matchplay,strokeplay,stableford
each match will be two weeks,
3 points win.1point draw
After they have completed the group format,the top four
teams from each group will go forward to the knockout stages.
In the event of teams on the same points,the team with the most wins will go through,if level
then the team with the least losses will go through if
that fails result against each other will go through hopefully we wont need to
go that far.
But if they do,there will be a play-off
3 players from each team closest to the pin with the
combined closest scores from the 3 players

PAIRING UP PLAYERS
the order of the team the captain sends me 1-8 is the order i will
post regardless of tier,i will just put both teams together,a bit like the
ryder cup
handicaps will apply
RULES
Each match will be played to a win,draw lose no sudden
death(matchplay),league matches only
Each match will have a 2 week timeline to complete
Any matches not completed on time will deemed void,want to keep
the comp moving on,
Any players refusing to play will forfeit their match,
Any gimmies must be agreed by both players before
start(matchplay),
any player with a - and a number by their name must
concede designated hole/s(matchplay)refer to the handicap chart,
any player with a + and number by their name must add strokes to
their final score(strokeplay)
any player with a - and number by their name must deduct
points from their final score(stableford)
KNOCKOUT STAGES
handicaps wont apply in extra time(matchplay)
games must go to a finish,if so start again till there is a winner
TIMER
at the moment we have a 60sec timer,players must agree before they
play if they want 60sec or 90secs,wouldnt bother me either but in the last
comp,some players complained about slow play so i would say 60sec is plenty.
MATCHPOINTS
Each match will be worth points in every game
3 points=win , 1 point=draw ,0points=loss,void games 0
So if you win all your matches in one round total=24 points
Every match will count towards your total.
REPLACING/ADDING NEW PLAYERS,PICKING TEAMS
any team of 8 players for each round must come from your squad only
somebody tried last comp and i had to have a word,
if a player is not able to play their match due to something
private,you can replace them but you must inform the other team captain,
once squads are in,you
cannot add to the squad if less than 12 unless a player has been active at your
club for at least 2 months prior to the start date,
any players leaving the club or dropping out of the squad for
personnel reasons can be replaced but only by a player of the same tier,
any tier changes must be reported to me please,
THE ARRANGING RULES PLEASE READ
Arranging matches
Player 1
If you are the player 1 it is up to you to send a friend invite to
your opponent and keep an eye on your friend list to make sure he has accepted
it. If they do not accept it after 3 days let your captain know ASAP please.
Once they have accepted your friend invite it is up to them to
send you a message stating what time zone they are in and what days and
times they can play there match with you
You then can reply with an answer from there pick of times and
dates but please remember to check the time difference 6pm where you are not
6pm all over the world so please adjust the time difference.
Player 2
If you are the player 2 you just wait for a friend invite once you
have received it you need to send him some dates that you can play your match
Something like this
Hi thanks for the friend invite my time zone is GMT
Times I can play are
Thursday 24th at 7pm to 8pm my time
Friday 25th at 8pm to 9pm my time
ETC the more dates you can give them the better
But please make sure you put a time not just Thursday night or
Friday night.
Do not wait for a player to be green
That does not mean anything.state an exact time between you when
you
Both free and play,
Its simple really
