    Default 2010 NSW Matchplay Set up

    Hi All

    As Ping Jnr won the Matchplay title last week it now means we can get the ball rolling for the 2010 version.

    Some things popped up this year that we have to avoid let happen again. Forfeits, I know some are unavoidable but this year was shocking we had more forfeits than matches played.

    What can we do to fix this?

    Should we have a post count before you can play in it? Alot of low posters said they would play but later forfeited.
    Do we need a pre qual? Small field of 16 maybe?
    Do regular players have preference in the seeding? previous Champ is 1
    Strict time limits on games?
    A round Robin setup like the NQ Matchplay? Regular games wit ha few matches held.
    Need to cater for mid week games?

    Post ideas to fix the problem so next year flows smoothly. All ideas will be considered.

    Also guys & girls register your interest here too.

    I can find you a spot, but the spot I have in mind is dependent upon your prospective opponent agreeing. So, I'll send some PM's first, then report back.

    Jim, just raising up Grant's query re. cut off dates. Pup and I were originally going to play this arvo, but I've got back troubles that I woke up with this morning. SO we'll reschedule, but want to make sure we don't leave it too late.

    I have made some executive decisions.

    Dylcross is in the competition, and he will replace Burger, therefore playing Dotty in a first round battle of relative northerners. Dotty has graciously agreed to this change.

    Burger hasn't replied to my original PM message, so I'm assuming he isn't interested. If he comes back from the dead, I'll put him back in against Pinglauncher.

    As far as a first round deadline is concerned, I'm not really going to set one. My solution will be to wait until the next opponent gets impatient, then I'll decide which player is most to blame for the game not going ahead, and then forfeit that person. If there is still a first round game unplayed by Easter, I'll rethink that policy.

    But, if we take a long time to play the first round, that leaves less time to play subsequent rounds.

    So, unless KristianJ is crippled, I estimate he has a good two months to recover and play the Pupster.

    No crippledness here, fortunately We should be able to find a good time within that period before the days start getting shorter.

    Thanks guys. Happy to play anywhere goats do not tread Dotty.

    I was hoping you would see the light. I should penalise you for taking too long to make a decision, but I don't like conflict in social contexts. I get enough of that when I make unpopular decisions at work.

    I'm still not sure of the intentions of PingLauncher and Ping Jnr, but I'm prepared to give them a lot of leeway as the finalists from last year.

    At this point Uahmad is slotted into the BYE v Pinglauncher. Hopefully Ping will resurface and a game can be scheduled. You are both weekend players, so if he plays at all it should work out OK.

    Grunt: can you do the honours and make the alteration (again).

    Jim, after finalising our project resourcing yesterday I will have 1 possibly 2 free weekends between now and mid May It is going to be very difficult to commit to any dates whatsoever until then and my only golf may be last minute mid week starts. Happy for UAHMAD to take a walkover or whatever is easiest.

    Nathan is caddying for one of our Major Pennant players this year so he is unavailable until early April.

    I have a solution in mind. I'll send you a PM and see if you agree.

    After discussions with Ping, we have agreed to leave the draw the way it is.

    Ping is quite limited in his opportunities to play golf for a while, so if he and UAhmad cannot get together at one of those times, then Ozzie will get a lucky pass through to the next round.

    Now that we have had another match completed, it is time to put some gentle pressure on the other players to get their games done.

    I am going to set a first deadline of Sunday 18 April. If the game hasn't been scheduled by then, I'll make a decision as to which player is most responsible for the delay, and they will be forfeited. However, I'll seek feedback from both players before making that decision. If players beg me for an extension, I'll give them until the Anzac Day public holiday, 26 April.

    Sorry about that. (Been on holiday and a few other distractions.)

    I'll send a PM.

    Dylcross and I have re-scheduled our game for next week (either 22nd or 23rd).
    We've been taking it in turn to have client problems get in the way of our golf.

    (If not done by 30th April, then scratch me, as I've been the main procrastinator.)

    Dotty,

    If an effort is being made to get the game scheduled, we can let it go on a bit longer. Nobody seems to be clamouring for news on their next opponent yet.

    But the silence from the direction of the other game that is yet to be played may need some more decisive action. I'll send a PM to the combatants later in the week if no news is forthcoming.

    Mate, if it gets to that stage we'll flip a coin.
