Hi teams, I'm just drawing up the rules for the competition and trying to cover all eventualities. I was thinking if a player doesn't complete his round he will forfeit the match and 1 point awarded to the opposing team. In the Fourball and Total Stroke matches if a player doesn't complete his round he will forfeit the match and 1 point awarded to the opposing team. If a player from each pair in Fourball and Total Stroke matches fails to complete his round the match will be treated as a match play round.
Also do you think the count back system should be used if the final scores are tied?
I'm hoping we don't have to resort to using any of the above, but I'd rather have a plan of action rather than winging it if it happens.
What do you think?

In the individual and total score matches I believe a forfeit is the best option if somebody doesn't play. But for the best ball matches I think you can just take the score from the one teammate that did play as the team score. I don't think the team should have to forfeit the match in this case.

Good point I'm not wanting to punish the player who did play his round, maybe making him go up against 2 players would be tough enough.

I had a look at this again and thought if you don't play your pairings round (rounds 1&2), you couldn't play 3 or 4. So you have to play the first two rounds to have your 3rd or 4th round recorded.

That makes sense.... pretty sure it wont come to fruition but having the rule in place before we start means everyone is aware.

Why not just do a 1/2 point like in the actual Ryder Cup?

The count back system would only come into effect when the whole competition is tied i.e. it finishes 12 - 12. In the actual Ryder Cup the holders would retain it if it's tied, but this being our first one in CC, I was wanting to have an outright winner.

If it finishes 12-12, how about a live shootout between two nominated players?

It would be great if there were two evenly matched players willing to do it and be able to sort out a time suitable for both of them. But I'd hate to have to tell someone that they have to play a round at a certain time on a certain day and try tie it in with someone who could have a 5-12 hour time difference. If we had players willing to do it then great.

Here's my suggestion: if it ends in a tie, the total number of strokes on the final day is used. The team with the least amount of strokes is the winner.

Good idea we can go with that unless there's any objections. If not I'll update the rules, to be honest I think there's an outside chance of a draw happening.

But it's easier to plan for it and it to not happen vs. it happening and then we have to decide "Well what do we do now?" Because then you'll have 50 different opinions and the counter argument will be "it's not fair" or "you're only suggesting this because..."
