It would appear I have already lost

Not so, you need Westwood/Kaymer to lose, but then

Poulter/Fisher to beat Stricker/Woods
Macs to beat Cink/Kuchar
Donald/Pod to beat overton/Watson

That would see you through I think

If only one goes through then if Kaymer wins, I cannot win?

Yes if Kaymer wins you lose out. That's the luck of the draw.

This cup game is a total lottery, the league's the real mccoy.

Ok

I'll just win the League then. I'll let someone else win the Cup this year

I'm still looking for a link so that I can watch it (when play resumes), or can someone tell me if it will be on the red button.

Looks like the rain will go on for a while yet

It is raining

hi
i don't mean to be churlish but since the event hadn't started,what difference would it have made to include us - in the overall not the cup - even though there was plenty of room in that, too.
cheers
steve

Thing is Steve, once the pairings were announced there was an obvious advantage to anyone who knew them. Nobody would choose a player who wasn't going to have a chance of playing in all the matches.

As it's turned out, the whole things been rather cocked up now anyway.

The cup will now be losing a round, which will make it even more ridiculous.

So new format for the cup is...

16 players after the fourballs.

4 groups of four for the 6 foursomes.

4 top teams play the semi-finals that cover the split pairs format.

2 teams play the singles final.

markfantasy wins the cup 3.5 to 3 against GM...

At least I wasn't last!
Good competition. Thanks for running it.

Ditto!

Well done markf, and thanks very much Spencer4 for running the game

I was just going to settle down andd watch todays highlights programme on BBC2 until I noticed that it's not being shown, grrrrr. Why did they have a highlights programme Friday, Saturday and Sunday, but on the most important day we get nothing.

Nice competition Spencer, it proves again how rotten I am at Fantasy Golf.

BBC 2 now
