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?
