So after preliminary behind the scenes talks involving me, @spartan4knight and billybudd0623 we are going to see if we can put together a Ryder Cup style contest suggested by Giraffe72. The teams would involve a mix of players from our rivalry groups in CC-B, CC-C and CC-D. I just thought putting it out there would get opinions from all and save us 3 going to and fro in messages. We can sort out the time, format and admin stuff in due course. The aim is to get more players together and involved and above all have fun. All groups opinions and suggestions are welcome.

I suppose the obvious thing would be to try a North America vs Rest Of World type thing, but I suppose it depends on who is interested. If it turns out there's more Europeans for example, could be Europe vs ROW. Although do we still count as European??

We would have to find a balance of players in each team, but if we can find a common denominator between teams then that's great. Ideally I'd like 8 from each flight but not all our groups have the same amount of members, and I don't want to exclude players due to that. I want to see who we can get onboard from our groups before planning anything else.

I want to see who we can get onboard from our groups before planning anything else. Keep in mind, being as this is using our TGCT rounds it requires no extra scores to collect or rounds to play, you've just got to have time to collect the scores straight from the site. You can do it as many times and as often as you want. Once a month? Every other week, or even every week?! If you're going with Ryder Cup it's 12 v 12, but people could drop in and out for each tournament and give everyone a turn using whatever criteria you see fit. or is this just a one off? I know from organising teams before, if you want 12 in a team it's a good idea to have a pool of players bigger than that to choose from!

Just a thought, as it's likely we will have more than 24 players to choose from, 2 of the non-players could be the captains? That would at least get 26 involved each time, could be fun taking a turn at the captaincy!

I'm not wanting to over saturate the tour with a lot of contests, if we can get this up and running we can take it from there. We'll need people to do the admin stuff as well, if it's shared out it's won't be much. Other folk might have ideas for contests so I'd like to give them time to fit them in. So it'll be a once off just now, we'll see how it works and tweak it if need be. The captains is a good idea as well so that's something we can consider.

Love the idea, been brainstorming on this for a few minutes and wanted to just put it on paper so I don't forget anything so here it goes and you guys chime in on anything you like or don't like
- Fantasy Draft - Pick 2 captains and they do a draft for their teams - Club Clash - Pro v. Master Clubs - World War III - USA v. World (or some other geographic separation) - March Madness Tournament - Every man for himself in a knockout bracket

World (or some other geographic separation) - March Madness Tournament - Every man for himself in a knockout bracket Great ideas Taylor, hopefully we can get numbers and players committed to join. The Fantasy Draft and March Madness should be easy to set up as there's no restrictions. The other two are ones that'll need a bit of looking into to see if we can balance them.

The USA guys could build a wall in the designer and the rest of us could try to hit over it with closest to the pin (lets call it washington) the winner!

RYDER CUP PROPOSALS I've been trying to figure out a format and a date to get this up and running. I was aiming to schedule this in for Week 16 (Feb 17-23), just after the Promotion Event of Week 15.
We can try and copy the Ryder Cup as much as we can but certain aspects aren't feasible. For instance the foursomes isn't something we can recreate so we can change that. Another change would be stretching the 3 days of the Ryder Cup over 4 tournament rounds.
So I'm proposing changing the foursomes into a total hole score, so a team that scores 2 birdies on a hole would beat a team scoring a birdie and a par. Or a team that scores birdie and bogey would half a hole with a team that scores 2 pars.
To stretch the competition out I was thinking we could go with -
Day 1. 4 matches of Fourballs - 2 teams of 2 players lowest score wins the hole. 4 matches of Foursomes alternative - 2 teams of 2 players lowest total score wins the hole.
Day 2. Same format as Day 1 but players missing out on the first day will play on Day 2.
Day 3. 6 single match play matches, 1v1 lowest score wins the hole. Players involved won't play in Day 4.
Day 4. 6 single match play matches, 1v1 lowest score wins the hole. Consisting of players who didn't play on Day 3.
Scoring Win a match - 1 point Draw a match - 0.5 point
Teams 2 teams of 12 players made up from a fair split of players from CC-B, CC-C and CC-D. 2 captains will be chosen either voluntary or nominated, there's still a decision to be made whether the captain's will play or just be an addition to the 12 man team to make picks. Something up for discussion as well would be how the teams are made up whether it be geographically if possible or having an even number of players from each flight. If it's by flight we can do a draft where the captains pick players from CC-B then CC-C and then CC-D.
Match-ups Captains will pick their pairings/players then allocate them a slot.
Slots 1-8 for Day 1 Slots 9-16 for Day 2 Slots 17-22 for Day 3 Slots 23-28 for Day 4
Allocations will be sent to a independent person who will then post the matches on a dedicated thread for the competition.
If there's anything that's not clear, I've missed or anything you'd think there would be a problem with post it up here.
So who's interested?

If it is going to involve alt shot and the requirement to commit to playing online with others then I will pass thanks. My schedule is not good this hear.
