  what i didnt predict is a lot of clubs play off different tees which can make the average seem better than what it really is,we play off ranked tees period,

  Don't lose any sleep over this, treat all the averages as legitimate. All that happens is the posers get outed.   :-)

  The name is Simon and I'm speaking for myself, not as a spokesman for our captain ;)

  I completely believe you that you didn't intend to make the groups this uneven. Any random shuffle couldn't have come up with a worse result though, which is no big surprise when you are only going by players averages because they are completely meaningless for the reasons you mentioned (red tee champions). So why not just do a random and broadcasted draw the way Young46 does for his tournaments? This way you have total transparency and nags like me don't have a leg to stand on for their criticism.

  Simon mate. 

  Not argueing and see what you mean regarding transparency but Finny has set out as he said, to try and get 4 or 5 top teams with 3 or 4 teams that would have to be on the top of their game to get through.

  Looking at outcome, well thats sort of happened. 

  I feel a random draw could have far worse groupings than we had, and in truth it would have been much easier for Finny to do that......but i know how he feels about this comp, and i know he wanted to try and get as many top teams through to last 16. 

  That aint anything against the other teams. We had a team in Div 4 that battled on regardless, yes it was getting them down but they kept going. I know there will be other teams in other leagues that have done that also.

  He also could not help the fact Stizz and co left the Georgian when comp started, and as he said, The Brothers folded. Which sort of messed up Group A. 

  I maybe biased but i would have took The chickens to top any group......bar ours ;-)

  Hello all and welcome to the last 16

  
  

  Well done to those teams who have battled and for some just scraped into the knockout stages butDoes not matter now as theres no more league matches,just a straight shoot out between you and one to team to advance further.

   

  I would like to thank the teams that didn’t make it and their captains for doing their best to get the matches played on time you have made this comp a success and I applaud you,get some practice in for next ,I hope you all will be back to give it another go and maybe progress further,got to feel for the daredevils who go out by 2 points out of 56 games games,that’s cruel but that’s golf,

  
  

  All the match results and tables are on page 1 of this forum if you want to see where every team ended up in their prospective groups,

  Right to the golf

   ctth holes

  Pepieric1963     1500 credits  hole 6

  Smokethegreen77     1 sleeve   hole 9

   

  Bubbsboy will be in touch with the winners/sponsors of round 7

   

  any player with a -2  by their name must  concede holes 7 and 14

   

  If any  player changes tier before he plays his match,he must play as the new tier,

  Always check you playing partners tier before start of play,

  No focus boosts will be allowed during matches. Use of this tool will lead to a disqualification

   

  Arrangement rules are in the information forum please read them

  Players if any problems arranging matches,contact your captain asap and he will contact the other captain so they can sort it,I don’t really want to get involved if I don’t have to but if you need a ruling contact me.

  I have had to step in a few times this round but I rely on the captains to sort any problems from now on,

  Everyone should know the arrangements so I don’t need to publish them again,

  Use your own common sense please.

  Captains can you send me weekly reports please and il update tables day after close of play

  I cant do this without your help

   

  Keep me updated on any tier changes because it will affect the handicap

  What I don’t want is any negative remarks or bad feedback from any players,if you have a problem,see your captain and he can contact the other captain to resolve the issue,

  I don’t want to get involved unless I have to,we are all adults so please act like one,

  The main thing to remember it’s a game and a chance to make some new friends win or lose,

  Go in with this attitude and you will enjoy it,

  Gl and have fun

  Finny

  Ps im starting my 2017 world matchplay comp around September and this is an invite to all players who have been involved in the world cup,

  I will post after this has finished and looking to find the ultimate matchplay champion on wgt,

  Handicaps will be altered this year basing on levels rather than tiers,

  Will email all your captains about it after the comp has finished
