18 Hole Match play @Torrey Pines
Air shots: Holes #7 & #12
Round 2 - Starts at Midnight UK on Monday the 10th March 2025
The Fixtures should be on the website from up to an hour or two before round 2 starts.
WORLD CUP GAMEPLAY RULES - ROUND 2
Any player with a –2 by their name must take an air shot on holes #7 and #12 in round 2 @Torrey Pines.
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.
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,
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.
Captains
Round 3 Line ups to be sent in by 9pm Uk on Sunday 23rd
If you fail to send your line up, we will use the line up from the previous round.
When you send your 8 player lineups during the group stage rounds, it's your choice what order you want them to play in for each matchplay game. Whatever order you send is the order we will post on the matchups. Only send the player’s assigned ID number & player’s WGT name.
EX. 231 JoeGolfer
234 TinCup27
241 SeveBallasteroids
233 Cupseeker
etc. with 8 players for Group stages or 9 players for Knockout stages
It's a bit like the Ryder cup, you have no idea what order the other captain will post and that’s the beauty of it.
Send your line ups to one of the World Cup Team → Discord or WGT Message
If we do not receive a team lineup by then, we will use the same lineup as the current round. This is because we do not want to have to chase lineups or delay the start of the next rounds… Cheers
It is the responsibility of the Captains to make sure all of your players have read and understood the rules and to also post them in your club forum.
BOUNTIES FOR 2025
For this year we will have 15 players putting up bounties. If you are the first to defeat one of the bounties you win 2 sleeves, 1 from the bounty player and 1 from the Bounty Council. And if the bounty player can win all their matches they keep their sleeve and win the sleeve from Council themselves.
Bounty players are asked to play a minimum of 5 of the 7 regular stage rounds and all of their team’s knockout stage rounds, unless extenuating circumstances arise.
THE BOUNTY PLAYER STILLS WINS A SLEEVE, IF UNBEATEN WHEN THEIR TEAM IS KNOCKED OUT IN THE KNOCKOUT ROUNDS.
Round 1 - Bountie results
We have lost 4/15 bounties players in round 1
But we still have 11 strong bountie players going into round 2.
All Undefeated bounty players will have this symbol next to their name in the fixtures of each of the groups until they are beaten.
Bounties can be found here and who's playing -
Finny's world cup 2025 Bountie - Round 2
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, The bountie player wins and the match is classed as a draw.

REPORTING YOUR WORLD CUP MATCHPLAY RESULTS -
You will need to post your results in the Finny’s World cup 2025 forum here - FINNY'S WORLD CUP 2025 OFFICIAL FORUM
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- Round 2, 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 this year's WC25.
Let's have some great golf games.
