Future Ryder/President's Cups

Post by bbbuckshot1 »

Suggestion to make it more interesting/fair: I don't mind the blind lineups on Four Ball and Best Ball but would suggest we follow the format of the real cups when it comes to Singles, as follows: the captains meet on Discord and the team with fewer points after the first 2 rounds puts out his first singles player - the opposing team then presents the opponent - they then alternate through the lineup until all 12 players are assigned an opponent - this would prevent the massacres we see now with unmatched games

:hmmm:

All I can find on this is how we currently setup the Singles matches ...

https://www.jstor.org/stable/25062802
Team captains will pick an order from one to twelve and won’t know the order of the opposing team. Therefore they need to decide whether they get the strongest players out first hoping for a fast start in scoring, or keep the best players till last to potentially clinch a tight victory late on.

Captains also might try and anticipate what the other captain is thinking with their Ryder Cup team order and try to match that.

I see your point, but I distinctly recall the televised selection of teams wherein the captains sat at a table and presented a team/player and the other team then responded with their selection - they the reversed the process, alternating presentation of players - it was televised at that time
