Stu Harkness Can we sign up for this, or does it need the approval first?

Martin Thomas It needs to be approved first

Dave Robjohns

Dave Robjohns Looking forward to this :)

What happens if your ball lands out of bounds? (invalid word)

Andy SC

Andy SC @Dave - reading the rules, I imagine it will probably mean your opponent winning the hole unless they declare an invalid word.

Dave Robjohns

Dave Robjohns Ah yes, I just forgot how the Ryder cup scoring worked! (was thinking of how it would count in relation to par for playing a round of 18 but forgot RC is just hole by hole)

Martin Thomas

Martin Thomas I will give any invalid word a fixed score of 8 over par but yes it only affects the current hole

Tourney round: Ryder Cup 2021: Sign-up page

Day 1 >>

Notes from the organizer: The Ryder Cup is a golf tournament between two teams of twelve representing Europe and USA. It is played over three days with three different types of match : Day 1 - 4 fourballs and 4 foursomes, Day 2 - 4 fourballs and 4 foursomes, Day 3 - 12 singles. The matches are played to matchplay rules which means that whoever gets the better score on a hole wins the hole and whoever wins most holes wins the match.

In this tourney all matches will involve a letters attack with the first eighteen rounds representing a hole and the last two rounds ignored. To par a hole you will need to get one less than the max in that round. Getting the max will give you a birdie and getting 2 less than the max will score one over par and so on.

In foursomes and fourballs two players from each team will play against Prune. In foursomes the pair's score for each hole will be the combined score of the two players and in fourballs it will be the better score. In singles each player in the team will play one from the other team.

In the 4 player matches teams can choose who plays which type of match and with whom. Everyone in the team must play at least 2 and and most 3 of these matches. Each team should appoint a captain who will be responsible for letting me know these selections.

Unfortunately the weather is set to deteriorate during the tourney so in the Day 1 matches games will be Nice, Day 2 will be Normal and Day 3 Nasty.

Please ask if you have any questions.
