    Team world ryder cup check in

    as captain of team world, i guess it is up to me to create this thread. we probably have the hardest job in getting all our time slots filled and in getting everyone the time slot of their choice. i understand if we are unable to fill a time slot we cannot use the same team members to fill in so that would be points lost and a guaranteed last finish.

    so i know brad89 asked all of you to check in but i would first like to make sure we have 12 people. so i want all 12 team world members to post that they are good to play from
    august 20th - august 22nd. after it is made clear that we have 12 people to play and all have checked in we can go over time slots. it will be difficult to accomodate everyone but hopefully it wont be that bad.

    so everyone playing for team world in the ryder cup just make a post. thanks.

    Have work so it'll be tough ..
    Can probably make the 5pm slot (7am local) maybe 4pm slot as a last resort.

    Love this format .. we've got nothing to lose so lets have some fun

    I think its 4 days

    Team Match Schedule (August 20th — August 23rd)


    • Twelve tournaments per day from 12:00PM-12:00AM ET.
    • Four players per tournament (1 player from each region).

    Foxx is unable to play two of the days and will probably be asking for a replacement. I didn't get a response from Augustus and Pegasus (WillC and Enkhbat posted above)

    This is what I had so far:
    12 - wulfman14
    1 - CookieMonster
    2 -
    3 -
    4 -
    5 - WillC
    6 -
    7 -
    8 - Optional
    9 -
    10 -
    11 - Brad89
    12 - blacklady

    Blacklady needs first/last spot. 12/1 is good for Cookiemonster. I can play 9 or 10 if needed. Katstale and panamabrad are both flexible.

    Any idea who 13th is? Shari?

    still root for the balls flop to win his way in!! lolol as stated above. Brad and I are flexible. I know BL is very tuff time zone problem but will play early or late. brad or I will monitor whats going thru the day and if an emergency arise can switch around with someone if necessary. Nice to see us getting the band back together--we thrive on that team cohesiveness year after year!! lolol I still remember Augustus I think it was 2 years ago flopping a flush to finish off a dude to secure us 2nd place. lololol Sad that that stuff sticks with u!! but hey, the good news is I don't see Bracerman for the Canucks!! got to make it easier for all of us

    I forget who it was that was monitoring a typhoon/hurricane bearing down on him and his connection as time slot approached. I was standing by to jump into his slot if it hit him square and it went down. yea, the other teams don't have near the drama we do to get our play in!! lololol

    I think it was either Augutus or Pegasus who came through in their last match to secure us 3rd last year too.

    Every team member scored at least 1 win last year.


    You guys keep talking about replacements... where are you getting the idea anyone but the 12 names that qualified will be allowed to play?

    We'll basically be rooted if 2 players can't compete I think :\

    The last tournament actually starts at 11PM ET, I'll check with blacklady if she can play that one and I'll move to 10PM.

    Optional, foxx will be asking for a replacement

    Can a mod confirm that replacements be allowed if eligible players are not able to make the World Cup?

    where do you get the idea that replacements are NOT allowed ? let the mods answer before we speculate. i mean if we can only play 8/12 of our time slots then whats the sense ?

    I vote against replacements. You already get the charity case of basically just needing a pulse to qualify. Dates have been known since the beginning.

    So you want the whole team to be at a disadvantage because one guy, unable to schedule his life around SBR Poker, is willing to give up his spot/guaranteed points?

    How is it different to a non-pro qualifying or participating in other contests with no intention of becoming a pro before the set deadline?

    with respect ds, so we automatically get last place cuz sbr refuses to change format ? if we dont have replacements it is a guaranteed 4th place finish. makes no sense to even play. so cuz of the format world team shouldnt get to play to win ? get outta here guy.

    If they change the rules to allow a replacement, they should let it be a USA guy
