With Endeavour 2 winding down in the next few weeks I wanted to get a sign up going for the next event. The present edition was put together based on tour rankings prior to the new cards being administered. It was believed to be mostly made up of mid-lower tier CC folks but as the season as rocked on many folks have shot up the ranks. In summary...this will be open to anyone who wants to play. We have a few PGA/Web guys already and in this format your ranking doesn't skew the teams. The original concept was put together as 24 players participating from Endeavour 2 however I want to see if there is more interest out there as a few people asked to join after "2" started. So without further ado...here is what this event entails.
Endeavour 3
All members will be split up into teams/ (Ideally I would like to have 3 or 4 teams total)
Teams will be split up by platform if possible if somewhat equally balanced. If not, based on the info you provide I will come up with another clever way to split the teams up.
All playing and scoring will be done as an individual but your results will go into the team.
However the teams are divided I would like to have 1 person be captain of that team. More on that below.
The below example will be based on 24 players / 8 players per team / 3 teams (Xbox vs PC vs PS4)
Round 1
Individual Stoke play
8 flights of individual play of 1 person from each platform playing each other
Standard Points: 10pts for 1st, 7pts for 2nd, 5 pts for 3rd for lowest total for each flight
Bonus Points: Lowest team average gets 5pts as a team (from all 8 players)
Bonus Points: 3pts for lowest total, 2pts for 2nd lowest, 1pt for 3rd lowest total regardless of platform
Round 2
Individual Stableford play
8 flights of individual play of 1 person from each platform playing each other
Standard Points: 10pts for 1st, 7pts for 2nd, 5 pts for 3rd for highest total for each flight
Bonus Points: Highest team average gets 5pts (from all 8 players)
Bonus Points: 3pts for highest total, 2pts for 2nd highest, 1pt for 3rd highest total regardless of platform
Now here is where it gets interesting. In this event I would like to have a captain for each team as mentioned above primarily for this next round. Each captain would submit their team pairing and the matchups would be set accordingly. Whichever team is in first place at the time would show their hand first and then each place thereafter would show theirs to get the most out of the matchups. This would be somewhat similar to the Ryder Cup.
Round 3
Best ball/score Stroke play - this will require folks to screenshot their scorecards.
4 flights of partner play from each platform playing each other
Standard Points: 10pts for 1st, 7pts for 2nd, 5 pts for 3rd for lowest total
Rounds 4 through 6 would pretty much be a repeat of what was just completed.
That is pretty much it. I believe 23 of the 24 people in Endeavour 2 are planning to take part in this and hopefully we get some more to sign up. Endeavour 2 has been a lot of fun thus far and hopefully adding this new event with different playing mix will spice things up a bit. Your ranking again has no impact on being able to play or not. Everyone has a chance to earn points for their respective teams.
When signing up please provide your name, IGN, platform, and current tour.
