Format

The format was revised with play being over three days rather than two. On Thursday, there were four matches of four-ball in the morning, followed by four foursomes matches in the afternoon. Eight singles matches were played on Friday, and eight more on Saturday. 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: ···
gollark: It already renders impressively fast and I guess buffers will help.
gollark: Rph's FIF Image Format is apparently going to be used for 10FPS videos, *somehow*.
gollark: Ah yes, more OSes, that is definitely what we need.
gollark: That's why you should run potatOS instead.
