CAPTAINS -
Can you please make sure when you're sending your line-ups to the WC team, you are sending them with the Group number, Team Name and their player numbers please.
WORLD CUP MATCHPLAY RULES - ROUND 5
Any player with a –2 by their name must take an air shot on holes #8 and #18 in round 4 @Chambers Bay. There is an example on page 1 of the forum on how to take an air shot.
If a mistake has been made on air shots not taken it must be replayed from the point of the shot/hole and this could take time, so be aware please that you know which holes they must be taken on before the match starts, that’s for both players. If the match is completed the result will stand.
Match up Arrangement NEW Rules -
Players have 5 days to send/accept friend requests & begin game setup with the opponent.
If still no reply from the opponent, contact your captain for help in resolving the communication OR replacing that player. If not resolved by day 7 captains should inform the committee & the non-communicating player shall forfeit the match!
If you're away and can't play in any round or are unable to set up the match with the other player, then let your captain know asap so this can resolve it with the other team's captain.
Each WC match will have a 2 week timeline to complete,
Each WC match will be played to a win, draw or lose, no sudden death 18 holes,
Any players refusing to play will forfeit their match,
Any matches not completed on time will be looked at by the world cup team and a decision will be made on the result depending on evidence of contact supplied,
Once a WC match has 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 90 sec shot clock with maximum timeouts, there’s no panic to get the game played and have a chat in-between,
If both players agree they can have 60 or 45 that would be their choice,
NO apparel is to be used at all by any player in this World cup tourney
No focus boosts will be allowed during matches. Use of this tool will lead to a disqualification,
Any team members giving advice on any shots/putts to another player on any chat forum and found out, the player and the adviser will be disqualified from the rest of the comp.
Bounties can be found here and who's playing - https://sites.google.com/view/finnysworldcup2024/bountie 
All Undefeated bounty players will have this symbol next to their name in the fixtures of each of the groups until they are beaten.
You can see who's playing who for the bounties and how they are getting on over the rounds, there's link tabs for each round if you click on them to find a match up.
If your playing against a bounty player and it's still A/S at 18 holes, you will need to carry on playing till there's a winner for the bounty - TEAM SCORE WILL STILL BE A DRAW

REPORTING YOUR WORLD CUP MATCHPLAY RESULTS -
You will need to post your results in the Finny’s World cup 2024 forum here - FINNY'S WORLD CUP 2024 OFFICIAL FORUM | World Golf Tour (wgt.com)
Each game being played has its own Tie # on the side of each game, use this number, with Group # and Round # and also will need the result posted as win/draw or loss, with a message summarising the match you had together.
IE- Group 4, Round 5, Tie 869 then the message about the match.
Let’s keep the forum busy but no negative comments from anyone, if you have a problem contact your captain first and they will contact the other captain. We don’t really want to be involved unless we have to.
Good luck to all and have fun in round 5.
