IF we vote to expand the doubles to 6somes, why wouldn't we expand the singles to 6somes as well? Just stating that we decided on 10 per team to make 5somes and speed up play. If we decide for 6somes in the afternoon, it will be questioned why it wasn't also 6somes in the morning. Just playing devils advocate here.

Good point.

Is everyone good with a 9:30 start time?

Sounds good to me.....player meeting at 9:15?

TRB can't make finals, so Chris Bolton is taking over those duties for Panthorn. He just got back to me via email and said that he is good with a 9:30 start time and does not want 6somes for doubles.

Okay thats probably more than half for 4somes. 9:30 is great with us. Probably all be there by 8.

My roster is all set and I posted it on the other thread.

That still leaves us with the problem of having 90 players in doubles, and having some holes with 4somes and some with 6somes.

We can't solve this problem unless we solve it...
Someone has to decide what we are gonna do.

You know I want all sixsomes or no sixsomes for doubles. Having one slows everyone down as much as 2 or 10 does.

Its the right thing to do and if it were up to me...well you know.

Well, I vote for all sixsomes then. I can't see a way to limit the number to 4somes for doubles.

What does Mullen think? Laforce? Hickson? Judge? Juano is not going to chime in, so they can be neutral.

yeah.....I don't know. I may only have enough players to play 10 in the afternoon anyway. I have 2 players hurt and one may need to leave to make it to work on time.

I don't think going all 4 somes would be a good idea. Teams already have to have people sit out. Do a couple 6 somes really slow everyone down? If thats the case then just go all 6 somes.

That's the other side of the coin too. Some teams will only be able to field 10 players in dubs. So that means there will be some 6somes and some 4somes on the course anyway. We will not have all 6somes.

I only have 11 available players. I'll chose neutral. It don't bother me I'm just happy to be in the playoffs. Even if it's with no wins.

So four yes, three no and two neutral...

Still need B2 to vote

edited to reflect comments...

10 and 10 is my vote

We already voted - Judge and I are co-captains - we voted for 6-somes for dubs.

blind man dubz instead of best disc..do best hole..just a suggestion..continue

Sorry Pete, I missed that.

So its all sixsomes instead of some sixsomes for dubs then?

It would be, but not all teams will be able to field 12 players for doubles, so we will have some foursomes and some sixsomes anyway.

Sorry I am confused. I understand what you are saying but are we allowing those that can to field 6 teams for dubs (counting 5)?

The original issue with playing 10 each in doubles was that there would be a mix of 4somes and 6somes. The argument was made that if there were 6somes in the mix, it would end up slowing everything down, so we might as well play all 6somes. It was put to a vote and all 6somes was voted on. However, not every team will be able to play 12 players in doubles. At least three teams will not be able to play 12 players. That means that there will now be a mix of 4somes and 6somes on the course anyway, defeating the purpose of extending the number of players.

I think the purpose is not to make all sixsomes, but to allow teams to play more players. So 6 of the 9 teams would be able to play 2 more players with not much more waiting since either way there would be sixes and fours.

OK then. Giddy-up.

So we (the 6 that can) will plan on 6 dubs teams and throw out 1 score.

Next...

DNF- If a single player does not finish how shall we score it? How about a 99?

Otherwise you could get someone with a [bleep] round not finishing to avoid a 70.

Well, if someone doesn't finish, I agree that they should be penalized. Either they get the 99 or they get the worst score on the day +10 strokes or something. I like the 99 though.

I would limp through the forest before I gave my team a 99,so would most people.

Yeah, I think that works well.

So we have an issue surrounding the beer for Saturday. We can't put a keg out on the course and in order to have beer in the pavilion, it would cost over $400. I can't justify spending nearly half of the money towards beer. Working with Don to come up with a solution.

So they don't want the kegs consumed there?
