steviemcqueen · Posted: 4 June 2009, 16:41 Post subject:

stevie please tell me that this is a handicap tournament where all players start at the same time, and no seeding, we should all start at the beginning, and work our way through the day.

I am interested to know how and why this event should be handicapped.
How is the seeding worked out, if any(although i personally feel an event of this nature should be open draw, or at the very least seeding only by separation). how are the handicaps worked out and is there any sponsorship, are any other clubs interested.
Lots of questions i know but important ones.

All the money goes to the winner

Staggered start and the handicaps go up by one for every round you progress through

Start times will be posted as before (and I'll call you if I have your number)

Please don't put players off on this thread, use the other one to voice objections.

If you dont like your seeding or the format - you don't have to enter.

Stevie this is the same weekend as the Highland Masters and as such it means the likes of Pat Holtz, Scott Ross, Jayson Shaw and perhaps Scott Gillespie and then guys like Renzie, George Fagan etc will be unable to enter.

Given that Sappa events are not full with their quota of 64 players as it is I would think it wiser to not clash with a main event like that to get as big an entry as possible.
