    I have already spoken to their captain and Paul, this guy clearly shouldn't be allowed to play in this competition no more as not the first time this year. We will get the win for that tie so no worries, just a shame as rest of the matches were tight.

    The  world cup of golf 2018

     

    Hello all

    The comp is moving on quite with only a few minor problems, nearly 100% completion every round,

    Nearly halfway through and you can see in a couple of groups the top four are starting to stretch away but threes five more rounds so still plenty of time to catch up.


    Group 1

    Wooden tee remain are still topping the group and can’t really see them dropping but playing second place victoriae this round so there should be some cracking matches and maybe they can pinch a few points, the Spartans take on outkasts A and really need to take a few wins or they might slip further down the group, this is a really tough group.  

     

    Group 2

    Carolina take on the villains in a top of the table clash and the villains have to be on top form against a strong Carolina team who have only lost three games so far,cosa play Athena who really need to start winning matches but can’t see them getting much from the ex world champs, plenty of time for the others to get into the top four  so all to play for,

     

    Group 3

    This is a really weird group with the results, the diablos lost east and beat squirrels who smashed east coast this round, we sit out this round and gain maximum points and with east coast having a rest will probably top the group at the halfway stage, squirrels take on Indian red for the third spot, this group isn’t over with arona giving all teams maximum points.

     

    Group 4

    Venus take top spot after the chickens resting this round and the bandits are second and clearly catching up after resting the first round, I fear for the twats who face them this round,kona are resting this round after taking the points against  the bees, I am really impressed with this team, I have watched a few live games and listened to the comments between each other they really love this game and have great knowledge which they share with each other really impressed,

     

    As I have said we are only halfway through the comp so plenty of time for teams to get into the top four  but make sure you play your matches, we are watching and will punish any players who don’t make an effort to play,

     

    Right onto the golf

     

    Round 5

    30th April to 14th May

     

    Royal st georges

    18 holes stableford

     

    RULES

     

    Each match will be played to a win, draw lose no sudden death,

    Each match will have a 2 week timeline to complete

     

     

    Any matches not completed on time will be looked at by the panel and a decision made on the result depending on evidence supplied,

     

    Any players refusing to play will forfeit their match,

     

     

     

    Any player with a - 2 must  deduct points from their final score

     

    Any player with a  -4  must  deduct points from their final score

     

    Once a match been played the result will stand so it’s up to all players to check the opponents tier before start of play,

    I would suggest a 90sec shot time with 7 timeouts but players can go for less if both agree if one doesn’t then 90secs no arguments,

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

    Players please when posting results, I would like group number, teams and players please and a short post of the match,

    Let’s keep the forum busy but no negative comments from anyone, if you have problem contact your captain first,

     

    Closest  to the pin for round 5 and sponsors

    Make sure you have a photo shot or the back up of your opponent will do,

    kona are resting this round after smashing the bees, I am really impressed with this team, I have watched a few live games and listened to the comments between each other they really love this game and have great knowledge which they share with each other really impressed,


    They certainly did smash us and I found, and our other players have all have reported, the games played in good spirit. I also found them very accommodating, even playing a game they probably could have claimed.

    The thing that puzzles me; what does the second part of the above mean precisely?

    This last is a question not a complaint or sour grapes. I can see how it's fun for some to chat away and comment on how things are going etc but would it be ok in this competition to go on discord or whatever and have others telling you where to aim, what shot/club to hit and how hard?

    Again I'm not saying that's what happened in our game, we were just well beaten, or that if it did it's necissarily wrong in any way. But it seems easily possible to do, so would you mind?

    i think i might have put this comment wrongly alan,i watched a game and saw no advice on shots or clubs etc,it was more after they were talking about different balls that have come out and the spin rate of such balls and stuff like that ,it was  really good to listen to over a what is a virtual game,i just found it refreshing ,sorry if i mislead you with the comment .

    finny

    ps perhaps i shouldnt have put smashing it was wrong of me sorry,its gone

    It's ok Finny I thought that was probably what you meant and the smashing was pretty accurate.

    The point about saying what to hit etc was a general one and this just brought it to the fore, it's been pointed out to me that it's probably not against the games T+C's and I just wondered if it was against this competitions :-)

    Probably, not being a definitive, is therefore pure supposition from your source. But if it isn't in the T&C's would that be surprise as Twitch is a relatively modern media form. In saying that moderator person who reads my posts, would it not be an idea for you to have it included in the T&C's as receiving advice other than from a caddie, partner or opponent is a contravention of the rules of golf. It also contravenes fair play, honour and principle, albeit some do not understand what that means.

     This taken from the R&A :

    During a stipulated round, a player must not:

    a. give advice to anyone in the competition playing on the course other than his partner

    or b. ask for advice from anyone other than his partner or either of their caddies
     
    .
    PENALTY FOR BREACH OF RULE:

    Match play – Loss of hole; Stroke play – Two strokes.

    "Advice" is any counsel or suggestion that could influence a player in determining his play, the choice of a club or the method of making a stroke.

    Finny may I suggest you call for an EGM of your board and include it in the competition rules immediately to nip this rubbish in the bud before it gets out of hand.

    Phil
