Unofficial Ryder Cup Tournament!

Postby Tin Trumpet on Mon Oct 15, 2012 5:29 pm

Patrickaa317 leads a dozen Americans against Tin Trumpet's European charges. The Friday Foursomes are underway with 8 points up for grabs, battling over the Great Lakes in the morning Chicago Fog. Best of 2 games, with a half point for a shared match.

Americans Uckuki and Robespierre (yes, a very American name) scrounge out a half-point against the British team of Wharfedale & tsioumiou ...

Someone in the know should have a results post stuck to the top.

Obviously, the Americans are going to dominate. ;)

So, in order that I can properly brag about, can we post the games in the first post? :D

Here's a little callout in the spirit of this unofficial tourney:
2x Rail Europe, quads, esc, chained, sunny
2x Rail USA, quads, esc, chained, sunny
1 tiebreaker World 2.1, quads, esc, chained, sunny

Is there an American team willing to take up the challenge? I've got an all Europe team ready to fill our spots. Let me know and I'll invite the lot of you.

Yeah, but since it's all as unofficial as possible, I didn't think it'd be that big a deal if I dropped in on the fun. Hope I didn't offend anyone. I have no problem taking back my callout if TT asks me to.

The team would be: JBlombier, Extreme Ways, Copernicus and pilot16 (all Europe, no doubt about that).

So far 2 halved matches and mine is just about halved too.

the other 3 games are finely balanced. and looks like there will be a maximum of 1 point between the teams going into the afternoon fourballs. the fog will have lifted by the afternoon!

i will post the games on here once sorted. probabaly at the weekend. patrick, you can send me your pairings when you are ready!

It doesn't matter to me. I just think that they kind of already set up everything behind the scenes and then set this thread up. That post was more for them, because I was hoping to have the rosters and games posted, because I don't even remember who's on my team!!

Hey

No issue using the thread but they can't be part of my very exact schedule! In mine there are 36 matches to be played and first to 18 1/2 wins!

Keep the European end up!
TT

So, that's solved. My callout stands for any American team.

2x Rail Europe, quads, esc, chained, sunny
2x Rail USA, quads, esc, chained, sunny
1 tiebreaker World 2.1, quads, esc, chained, sunny

Cool. Next map is

Chicago
Sunny
No spoils

Thinking the 5th map can be route 66, as it ends with Chicago! Quite a suitable end, I thought

Looks like a 3 1/2 to 2 1/2 lead for the Americans. I'll set up next round in next day or so.

Well done Patrick's team in the first round

barring a dead golfer, that will indeed be the match score after round 1. the key match being a win by Seechster & Whakamole who took advantage of an airshot by one of the europeans to secure teh point. still all to play for.

Yeah this is a fun event & a good idea. I think it's just that those of us active in clans are used to a well maintained clickable war thread. I'm happy there is obvious interest and enthusiasm for this kind of international event and It seems to show potential for a well organised world cup. That is something that I for one would get behind in a big way...

As far as the match so far, the Irish pairing will be looking for revenge in the next games after a disappointing first round. On this continent we save the best 'til last. :twisted:

You're absolutely right, Conchobar. I thought if this was active already, I would've seen some links. Anyway, it doesn't mind. I'll withdraw my callout for now, because this is whole own event. I like the set-up a lot though, you should do this more often and invite the team I mentioned, Tin Trumpet. I'm sure others will appreciate it as well.
