B-Pool Finals

[Matt DeAngelis]

Don't make any calls regarding the $ until we talk it out. I am all for getting beer using finals $ from Hyland (we planned on buying beer anyway) and encouraging team mates to hang at the tap room that night, but want to make sure we aren't dropping too much money on alcohol. $900 will go fast!

[Shaun LaForce]

No worries. Don is gonna talk with the owner about how they want to handle things, as well as get some prices for us.

[Steven Dakai]

If we arent buying food or beer then what are we doing with the $$?

[Shawn Mullen]

Hylands was a great choice. I'll inform my team.

[Matt DeAngelis]

If we arent buying food or beer then what are we doing with the $$?

I am almost 100% sure we would be buying beer, don't worry about that. The money will need to go towards any fees (like if we need to pay hyland some green fees etc), non-alcoholic beverages (ie water/soda), and the rest payout in the form of CTP's and other awards on the day (just not for order of finish).

[Steven Dakai]

Cool

[Shaun LaForce]

So 116 invites, 90 per round, shuffling players as needed.

Is this what we r going with?

Should we go 6 somes in doubles?

[Matt DeAngelis]

One vote was cast to keep the 116 total playing. Not sure who that was and since this is a semi-public setting, it may have been someone that isn't even involved with our finals. I am getting an email list together of the captains, but I am missing info for the following teams:

Noho
Buff

Once I find out the person to notify, I will send out the email that I have. We need to work this out as well as other things (like women and money). It seems like not everyone is actively participating in this thread, so I will try with email.

We could do 9 holes of foursomes and 9 holes of sixsomes and space them out by alternating the groups. At least everyone would finish at the same time...

[Chris Bolton]

panthorn will not be showing with a full team

we have some people with family commitments, and a couple people who didn;t qualify for finals due to work.....

i should have a full head count for us by the end of the week

[Shaun LaForce]

About the women...

I think they should be counted at least one round. Whether it is singles or dubz, doesn't matter to me.

We have come this far in involving them, why stop now.

Discuss....

[Matt DeAngelis]

I agree about the women aspect, but it should be something that each team needs to follow. IE: each team needs to play the woman in singles or doubles or both. One team playing all 10 guys in singles and all other teams playing a woman as part of their 10 would give the advantage to the team playing all 10 guys. Hope that made sense.

[Shaun LaForce]

Yes, it will have to be at least one or the other, and all teams will have to play em the same round.

Your choice if you play them both rounds.

[Shawn Mullen]

It did.......at least I think it did.

I agree that we somehow need to include the ladies scores.

Teams not using a woman in singles, play 9 guys and count the worst female score (assuming 10 is the number we are playing).
If they don't have a woman and play 10 guys to me thats a big advantage (even if they are forced to take the worst female score they still get one more chance for a really good score by playing one more guy than everyone else).

Not sure how to handle doubles.........

[Shaun LaForce]

Singles seems like it would carry the most weight.

If they don't have a woman, 9 guys go out, count the worst woman's score against them.

We need to get an idea of who is bringing one.

Maple Hill will have 1 on our final roster.

[Matt DeAngelis]

I sent that email around hoping that would get more discussion than the thread, but it is the same people doing the talking...

We will have kristi there.

[Shawn Mullen]

TT will have Kylie there.

I don't have access to my home email from work. But I can get on here, so I haven't responded to the email.

[Steven Dakai]

How about we require women for singles and go team choice for dubs.

[Shaun LaForce]

So we have 6 confirmations about females in attendance. .

Maple Hill - yes
West Thompson - yes
Borderland - yes
Tolland - yes
Dam Team - yes
Panthorn
Northampton
Borderland II
Buffumville -yes

[Steven Dakai]

Buff has two girls and will most likely bring both. I know Jenilee is coming.

[Matt DeAngelis]

I think we are all in agreement then that the max # of players a team can play in the round is 10.

I personally feel as though the women should be involved in both rounds, but I guess we should put that part to a vote. Let's go thorn and Noho, let us know where you stand.

[Shaun LaForce]

Don said 10 holes will have 4X10 rubber tee pads by finals!

[Matt DeAngelis]

Sweet! Hopefully it is on those big boy holes!

[Matt DeAngelis]

Panthorn stated that they are not sure if Eric will be able to make it but agreed that we should make it mando for them to play one round. Then the teams can decide on what to do for dubz. Also they are cool with just 10 per round/per team.

[Juano Flores]

Neither Leslie or I will be at finals. I will appoint a proxy captain for finals. The format seems fair and workable. juano

[Matt DeAngelis]

Bummer Juano.

Sounds like the #'s issue is resolved. 90 Players will be involved. Please send me your list of 10 players that will be playing in Singles. I will use the same method that the A-pool finals uses.

[Shaun LaForce]

Thanks for the heads up Juano.

What is B2's story?

[Dave Hickson]

Dave Hickson
Bill Person
Dave Jenkins
Kevin Gardner
Jeremey Binley
Al Rowden
Torr Bylund
Milton Morse
Bruce Christian
Jenilee Derossia
Amy Streeter

We will play one girl each round.

[Pete Violet]

We are pretty sure our female is playing - still waiting to hear for sure. Have we decided on whether she is mando for singles or both rounds?
