    Nice one Danny, quite a team the North have, I must admit.

    Calling all Southerners, two more players from South of The Watford Gap needed!

    Cheers,

    Hi Graham

    Good stuff.  Given we're now full on the Northern team and in line with th Ryder cup I'd like to propose an honourary captain to lead the Valiant Northern troops into battle.  Would DarkAngel do us the honour?

    Excellent suggestion Matt.

    With it just being 6 each side, we could make the captain role an official one.

    They'd need to pick the pairings and order for the foursomes, fourballs and singles.

    The North and South captains then submit their pairings at the same time, or via a neutral.

    Are you up for it Donna? Or would you prefer the matches to be randomly generated?

    Cheers,

    G

    Donna, should you choose to accept this key role, all you would need to do is email or message the neutral person, your players A, B, C, D, E and F. The Southern captain would need to do the same.

    See below for pairings and who'd play who etc.
    RYDER CUP “FOURSOMES”



    MATCH NO NORTH PLAYER SOUTH PLAYER
    ONE PLAYER A PLAYER A
    ONE PLAYER B PLAYER B



    TWO PLAYER C PLAYER C
    TWO PLAYER D PLAYER D



    THREE PLAYER E PLAYER E
    THREE PLAYER F PLAYER F

    Yes Misty for South Captain would be great.

    Can you get him to post on here Rose to confirm that he wants to do it and that he understands the format/role.

    Cheers,

    I'll play for the Saaf, if you're short. If others volunteer, I'll gladly step aside.

    Surprised that the North filled up so quick-didn't know that many could read :)

    Think there might be a few needle matches here. LOL

    You can cut the tension with a knife. :=)

    Reminds me of my times in the terraces at West Ham when we faced "Northern" Opposition.

    Some of the banter was quite fun as you can imagine. I would post some of the exchanges on here.

    But don't want to get banned from the forum.:=)

    Any news on Misty yet Rose? Is he clued up on the Ryder Cup format, and has he accepted the captaincy?

    He lives in the South though right? Surely must be converted by now.

    We really want him as captain, so like Jackie Charlton, we'll claim him as our own, if he's willing to convert! :=)

    Lol, N1.

    I think the captain picks and order will be a key role here regarding who comes out on top!

    Do you put the big guns together or go for a balanced approach? Do you put the top players out first to gain momentum, or leave them to last to cope with the pressure! Or will the strength be in the rookies? Tough decisions. No pressure! :=)

    Having said that, looking at the teams, every player is pretty decent!

    Here's the overall scoring spreadsheet that will be used.

    Hopefully it makes sense to all, especially the captains who will be required to order their players

    A,B,C,D,E and F for "foursomes"

    1,2,3,4,5 and 6 for "fourballs"

    and

    U,V,W,X,Y and Z for singles.

    I recommend that the foursomes can be played in any order to ease scheduling. When complete, the fourballs in any order, but coming to the singles, order may be critical, so play those sequentially if possible. The captains will only order the fourballs, when the foursomes are complete, and only order the singles, when the fourballs are complete.

    There are 12 points up for grabs, with the winning team needing to reach 6.5 points to win. GL!

    Captains can discuss draw tactics with their team, but must not discuss selections with opposing team members or opposing captain. Any questions, queries, let me know.

    Nice one Donna.

    How did the discussions with Misty go?

    Are you happy to captain the South Misty?

    Could you post on here, if happy to do so, and if you have any questions re format, captains role etc. :=)

    Hi Graham.....sorry I haven't replied before now, but I only found out about it yesterday. Obviously I would love to join in and be a Captain (South......hmmmmmmm, though I now live along way South, I am a born n bred Northerner you know.... but I would be happy to Captain the South), I do have a few questions and possible issues though. I'm currently working at a golf course during the week, and don't get home 'til 8pm, and I'm not around on a Saturday at all. I don't know how hands on you would want a Captain to be, coz I'd hate to let anyone down. What does the Captain's role entail other than picking the pairings?
    (p.s. I'm also not on Facebook !!!)
    Sorry to sound a bit negative coz I think it's a wonderful idea.

    Hi Misty, thanks for the post. It would be great to have you as Captain of the South.

    There isn't really much more to do, other than pick the pairings, and support when you can. it's just my OCD about how it will work, probably makes it sound harder than it is lol.

    The important thing is that it is a "blind" draw. (Neither side should know their opponents pairings) until both teams pairigs are finalised.

    It's just a bit of fun really, so no problem if you are unavailable some days.

    All we would need to do is confirm a deadline for the pairings to be picked, that both you and DarkAngel agree to.

    If you want to discuss pairings with your team, then I would suggest you PM them as a group via the forum. Just something like, "Was thinking of these parings, what do you think?" I'm sure we will all be happy with your picks anyway, so if you want to just pick them yourself, that would be fine too.

    That's pretty much it, would be great if you decide to do it. You and DarkAngel are two of the most supportive and encouraging people on SkyPoker, so would be wonderful to have you both as Captains!

    Let me know if you are happy to do it!

    Cheers,

    G

    P.S. We still need one more player for the South.

    Hi Chill..... I can't understand why it came up again either......not even 2nd thoughts!!!!
    I have tried to delete it too. Must be something to do with my -s-s-s-s-tammmmmmer

    Do you fancy joining the Southern Softies if Will can't make it?.... All for good causes at the end of the day.
