Hi all, Really sorry can't play Sunday. Wife's birthday and guests coming. Free Saturday it it helps. Arun/Mania I'm available tonight if that's any good to you? Donald Posted by thisltedu
PLAN C: ONE SATURDAY GAME FOR THISTLTEDU
OK, I suggest we make the 12.30pm game a Saturday one (time to be arranged by players involved). Clearly Donald will have to lead out the North.
I'm posting the singles in ten minutes, in the order u_z, but obviously they won't be played in that order. There is a big grudge match in there. Posted by chilling
Before you do this, make sure that the timings mean that players due to play each other are available at the same time.

I really think we need all players to confirm their avalability to their captains first. If you are sure this has been done. Go ahead.
Also the order is important and should NOT be decided later, so in match sequence order please.
Personally I would suggest that with all the time changes and availability changes that have happened, that we need the captains to re-confirm or re-submit their player sequences to you.
For example. THISLTEDU has to be player 1 (or to be more precise, PLAYER U, according to opening post spreadsheet), for the NORTH as he is unavailable Sunday. So Donna needs to amend if he wasn't already player 1
No info to pair up times but...... anytime....ESSEXPHIL V FEEL GROGGY......gonna be busy anytime....MANIA V MATT PRAWN Posted by chilling
Danny (FeelGroggy) is playing his Fourball matches at 2pm (all being well) so hopefully Danny and Phil can play their singles match at 3pm.....I know Phil would be OK with that.
I've not heard from Aron(Mania) but I tjink he was fairly Ok most of the weekend.
Aron .... can u post on here your times of availability for Sunday singles...... hopefully you're playing Danny in the fourball match around 2pm so I'm sure 2.30pm onwards would be good
I'm sure there will me many lessons learned as this was a trial. We have tried to change the process half way through which was a bit ambitious.
Anyway, I'm up for suggestions of how to salvage this now.
We could ask the captains to do a complete re-draw based on availability or we can swap a couple of the pairings around, so that both players are available at the same time.
All we needed to do was for each captain to say what player was playing what tee-time after checking they were available. I also think it best to preserve the blind draw. Occasionally in the Ryder Cup the two captains may both want a particular match up to occur and subtly "hint" to each other. This is OKish if it is something both sides want, although I do prefer a completely blind draw tbh.
From doing the above who and when they would be playing should in theory all work out fine.
If the only unplayable fixture is me and thistltedu, does someone from the South who is scheduled to play mid or late Sunday want to swap with me? Cheers, G Posted by StayOrGo

Thanks for your flexibility Phil.
We left the time of the Saturday match open, as it was unclear from thistltedu what times were good for him.
Donald are you free to play Phil before 2pm on Saturday?
If so I will then play Phil's opponent (FeelGroggy) mid Sunday (I think they were trying to schedule Groggy's singles for 3pm, Sunday, which is fine for me)
Cheers,
G
P.S. Phil, I have just emailed thistltedu to see if he is available prior to 2pm on Saturday. At the end of the session today, I will hopefully, have the spreadsheet on the opening post updated with the full schedule of matches and everyone's tee-time.
Ok i will rethink im plopping at the minute, sort it later. Not easy for me as theres a lack of info. Some of the games are set in stone though. Laters. Posted by chilling
We'll leave it as is if me and phil can swap.
It SHOULD have been an easy process for you (not so easy for the captains).
They should have each listed players, U,V,W,X,Y, Z. Sent them to you, and all you'd need to do is cut and paste what each of them sent you onto the thread. It never needed to be anymore complex than that.
The captains needed to make sure that the player is available for the tee-time that corresponds with the match number/player letter.
IE) MATCH EIGHT/PLAYER V on both sides must be available on Sun at 12.45pm, for example.
Ok graham, its easy for me to delete my posts. Ive had donnas team for a week. Theres 3 im sure are ok,Jordz , monkey, and rose.I never saw your post about not playing saturday, rose gave me mistys pairings.I thought you wanted me to try and marry up the posts from players.very, very, difficult.Ithijk those three games posted are ok, just wangle the other three.Ive never had direct contact with misty other than railing. If its match ups by availability, then the matches will likely pick themselves. Posted by chilling
Hi Chill..... i have included you in my PM's as well as my players, I don't know whether you'd seen them, but I know Roseeee had sent you my pairings too. I had spoken to most of The South team and had arranged the team so that Jordz was to play early Sun.....x4 matches available 2pm to 3.30 and Roseee late.
I'm sure we can sort this between us
GOOD LUCK tonight to everyone still playing.....sadly I'm not.....but the Mrs is happy
Can always redraw as theres plenty of time.Was doing my head in trying to sort that out. The same lettered matches were unlikely to marry up with availibility.I'll get the broom. Posted by chilling
FIXTURES STAND. SEE OPENING POST. LET ME KNOW IF ANYONE CAN'T PLAY AT ALLOTTED TIME.
IF MATTPRAWN AND MANIA WANT TO PLAY AT 3.30PM INSTEAD OF 6PM, THAT'S FINE. LET ME KNOW YOUR PREFERENCE.
OK, I HAVE DONE THE BEST I CAN, AND HAVE UPDATED THE OPENING POST WITH SINGLES FIXTURES. Can the captains please check that their player is available at the allotted time. Re EssexPhil and Thisltedu , please can you confirm a start time before 2pm on Saturday which is acceptable to you both. Cheers, G Posted by StayOrGo

Thanks for going with the flow and being flexible with this Phil, while we try and get our act together on the organisation front.
Chill out people (no pun intended!!!) I'm sure it's fixable (not fixable as in the matches are fixed though lol ) It's a GAMEEEEEEEEEEEEE - lets all just enjoy it and what will be will be. Thanks for all your organising with this Donna, Graham, Chilling and Misty - I really don't know how you cope with all this lol Posted by IrishRose
Hi Rose.
Yes, sorry Chill, Mist and Dark. I know I get a bit intense about how it should run. So I do apologise if I'm a bit grumpy about it lol.
I just know if it is organised and run well, everyone wil get more enjoyment out of it.
It has been a delicate job of trying to speed things up for those who feel it's too slow, whilst trying to accomodate people with busy schedules. But Rose is right, of course, it should just be a bit of fun.
Anyhow, I apologise to anyone I have stressed out, not my intention.

Hi Phil,
Sorry to be awkward but any chance we can do it early Saturday 9.00/10.00 or tomorrow night it that's OK with the schedule. I've got some panic birthday shopping to do on saturday.
