Just thought I would bring this up after Nudgee's and Vegas' match on Sunday.
There game was played from the 10th tee and the match shot where taken on the holes as if they teed off the first.
My understanding of the matchplay index is that it is set up to be played from 1 to 18.Seeing as the index is an AGU one that works on spreading shot evenly and with no advantage to one player or the other.
So if we tee off the 1st no worries,but if we tee off the 10th do we use the match index fron 10 to 18 then 1 to 9 to follow the holes or do we use the match index fro 1 to 18,the way it is set up to be used.
To me I don't really care which way it is used.
Just an example of what I mean.....If I played Blakey,he has to give me one shot which i get on the 8th.So if we play from the 10th tee and I take the shot on hole number 8 and not the 8th hole played,I could lose 3/2 and not get the chance to use my shot.So I could birdie the last 2 holes and not have the chance to win.
Thoughts people....Like I said I really don't care,but the index is set up to be played in order for fairness.
Will it be too hard for a bunch of dumbies like us to work out.
AP, as we will be playing off the 10th at Bribie,which way would you like to play the index(seeing as you are the seeded player).
Or do we leave it to the people involved in the match if thay have to play off the 10th.
Or do we let the match and rules man make a rule.
Sory for the long way to get to the point.
Terry.
