Format

On Saturday, there were four matches of four-ball in the morning, followed by four foursomes matches in the afternoon. Eight singles matches were played on the Sunday morning with a further eight more in the afternoon. In all, 24 matches were played.

Each of the 24 matches was worth one point in the larger team competition. If a match was all square after the 18th hole, each side earned half a point toward their team total. The team that accumulated at least 12½ points won the competition.

gollark: Markdown is a horrible mess compatibility-wise because the original wasn't really standardized at all, so implementations were just based off a buggy Perl program, and *now* we have standards but there are a ton of different ones with mutual incompatibilities, and some applications randomly have or don't have some features.
gollark: Nope!
gollark: It's kind of weird that Discord markdown doesn't support lists.
