There will be no effect on the Ryder Cup. If a player was promoted up to Web.com then they'd either have to play extra rounds or drop out. Congratulations and welcome to CC-C. Okay thanks, that’s what I thought but I figure I would ask.. and thanks! It was my first tournament win. First tournament win after 13 weeks is impressive it took me til my 26th week to get my first and only tour win.

TEAM CAPTAINS ANNOUNCEMENT So now we have our teams in place and we know the venue which will host the CC Ryder Cup competition, we can move forward to the next preparation stage. After the teams were finalised I asked for someone to step forward and captain the teams. Both teams put one name forward each and these guys were thrust forward as leaders of their respective teams. So we have taking charge of the Rest of the World team, Jamie Gale Giraffe72 and leading the American team is Taylor Knight @spartan4knight. As it seemed to me that both guys didn't volunteer but were pushed forward I thought they should be rewarded. So as this competition is based on the Ryder Cup format but with some tweaks, I would like to move away from the name Ryder Cup. My idea for this is to give the winning captain the chance to rename future versions of the competition. It means the competition can be tweaked depending on nationality of participants, match formats changed and the duration of competition extended to suit. Next up will be pairing and match selections which will be due on Monday 11th February. After selections are made I'll reveal them one day at a time, just to keep the anticipation ticking over. *As I'm working late on Monday 11th I'd like to ask if the captains can have their picks in for Sunday night.

I am going to jump in here and offer an opinion, unsolicited. I 100% agree to change the name away from Ryder cup, but also think the name that is chosen should be permanent so it 'belongs to CC' and will mean something for future participants. Going for future 'name recognition' here.
Just a thought.

Pat, you are pretty good at this 'promo stuff'. We need to step up our games to match the promotions.

We don't know how this competition will go, like will the total strokes format be any good? In the future it could be Europe v Rest of the World or UK v USA, there might be more or less interest in it so teams might be expanded or reduced. But I thought let's get it out there and see the feedback from the participants and then make tweaks if needed.

I'm sure you all will give us a good competition, I'm just worrying if I can do the admin and presentation right. I'm not wanting to be announcing the wrong results due to doing posts at 6 o'clock in the morning.

Solution Pat...let's see if we can get an alternate for the US team, if needed, and YOU can be the alternate for the 'other side'! I am sure you can fit it into your schedule.(snickers)

My opinion would be to leave the teams as they are, as long as anyone who is promoted is willing to play the extra rounds to take part. Happy to go with the general consensus though.
There are quite a lot of Pro Tour cards available so if people are playing there's a good chance we'll see some movement.
One other possible solution, we could bring it forward to next week? Is that doable?
