Format to be approved by captains and is subject to change. Days can be added or removed if needed.
How it all works:
Captains will set the pairings for each session on the onlinegoltour.net site. The matchups will then be revealed the morning of the matches. Once pairings are revealed, all players selected must complete the designated matches or their team will lose the point. Should a team need to replace a player the day of the matches for any reason, they will start off with a 3 hole penalty in that match. This is to make sure that teams don’t move players between matches to try and favor a matchup. Remember that each team will not know who they will play against when they pick their pairings. There will be no handicaps, its up to the captains to make good selections based on their intent. Example: Put out a power team first and a weaker team somewhere else. Or you could balance out all the teams. The strategy behind the pairings will be left up to the captains.
How to keep score:
Players will login to their regular Tour accounts and proceed to My Tournaments. The RyderCup event will be listed there and each person will see the matches that they have been assigned the day of the match in question. They will not see the matches before that time. If the match is a team match, any of the players on each team can go and keep score for that team. You don't need both teammates to do it, but both can from their own accounts. Once the match is over, the scorecard will say so. You may continue to play but do not enter anymore scores. This is to make sure the final score for each match is accurate.
Matches:
All players will report to Teamspeak for their matches and then play.
For fourball:
Players of match 1 will use TeamSpeak Ryder Cup "Match 1" of their respective team channels. Same for match 2, 3, and 4.
Example: Zmax/Craig are playing Bubb22/HoganWoods in match 1. Zmax and Craig will use Ryder Cup -The Green Jackets Match 1 channel. Bubba22 and HoganWoods will use Ryder Cup - W.G.D Match 1 channel.
Important Turn Order settings:
After both teams have all 4 players added to the game, 1 player from each team will have to set Turn Order to Disable. So, for team 1, player 1 has Turn Order Enabled while player 2 has turn order Disabled. And for team 2, player 1 will have Turn Order Enabled while player 2 will have Turn Order Disabled.
Players with Turn Order Off will play at their own pace and can communicate their shots to their partners. Then wait at the next tee. Once all 4 players are at the next hole, the same process is repeated.
For Singles:
Players will use TeamSpeak channels in the Ryder Cup - Singles for matches 1-8
TeamSpeak Whisper mode:
This will be used during fourball matches. This will allow players from 1 team to talk to players on the other team using a "Whisper" hot key. This is a different key from your normal talk key.
Here's how to setup a "Whisper" key:
In Teamspeak window,
1: click on tools.
2: Click on Whisper List
3: Click on New
4: When ask to set a whisper hot key, select a key that is different from your normal talk key(if you're using one). I use the space bar for my whisper hotkey.
5: In the box on the right, click on ************** TS Server
6: Click on Clients. You opponents names will be there if they're in TeamSpeak
7: Drag your opponents names into the "Whisper" box(the box in the middle).
8: Hit Apply. and OK.
9: You will now be able to talk(Whisper) to your opponents in the other channel whenever you hold down the Whisper hotkey and talk.
10: After the match is over, remove you opponents from your whisper list.
