How about set up the event as a World Cup, with group stage and then knockout etc and say each match for example, England vs USA, all English and American participants play in a one round tournament, then all scores for each team are added together and divided by the amount of players for that team and bingo uv got an average, lowest score wins and gets the 3 points or will advance in the knockout. Just a suggestion

Ok. So it looks like we wont have enough players from enough countries to get enough teams and using 2 players / country to make a proper World Cup would mean that we remove not only a good chunk of the talent in this game, but you would actually leave out the majority. Fine. If it's intended to be a PROPER World Cup, a lot of talent should be left out. We still don't have enough teams to pull it off. My Suggestion would be to increase the amount of teams for the biggest countries and merge some others. There are many ways to do this. I'll throw some ideas out: Based on gut feeling and what I think would be a decent balance based on TGCTours in general. 16 Teams: England (23), Ireland (10), US (21), Canada (13): A & B GB (Rest of UK) (2) Australia (8) Nordics (Denmark, Norway, Sweden, Finland) (3) Southern Europe (Portugal, Spain, Italy) (1) Central Europe (Germany, Netherlands, Belgium, France) (2) Asia (2) Africa (1) South America (2) Qualifications within each country/region to participate. 5 man teams where 4 are team players and 1 used as reserve if someone can't play. This would need more players to register. Registered players with teams of two would mean 10 teams so far: Brazil (2) Holland/Netherlands (2) Japan (2) Scotland (2) Sweden (3) USA (21) Australia (8) Canada (13) Ireland (10) England (23) Outside looking in: Spain and South Africa (1) Last option I'm throwing out would be to purely go with the amount of registered players / country. This would no longer be a real World Cup as the big countries would be in vast majority, but a interesting Tournament non the less. Each country on its own. 2 players / team. 1 team / started 5 registered player (min2). Top players within country qualify. Teams are selected by draw. This way each team can be competitive and we could avoid the Ian, Bradley combo That would mean: England A, B, C, D, E Ireland A, B Canada A, B, C Australia A, B USA A, B, C, D Sweden Scotland Japan Holland Brazil 21 teams so far. I've got some Italian Heritage, and play on the euro tour. So as much as I love my country, I think I could make an exception and join Pablo on the southern euro team if it opens the door for someone who wants to play in this thing.
