European Amateur Team Championship

The European Amateur Team Championship is a European amateur team golf championship for men organised by the European Golf Association. The inaugural event was held in 1959. It was played in odd-numbered years from 1959 to 2007 and has been played annually since 2008 with the exception of 2012.[1]

Format

Currently the Championship is contested by 16 teams, each of 6 players. All competitors play a round of stroke play on each of the first two days. The team score is based on the leading five rounds each day. After these first two days the leading 8 teams compete in knock-out match-play over the next three days, teams being seeded based on their position after the stroke play. Contests consist of two foursomes in the morning and five singles in the afternoon. If a match is level after 18 holes extra holes are played to get a result, although if the overall result has already been determined later matches that are level after 18 holes are halved.

gollark: Due to something, palaiologos won the vote by rather a lot, despite having only been a member for a few months.
gollark: Due to LyricLy being somewhat unserious as owner, we wanted to remove them and get someone else in place. This worked; LyricLy agreed to resign due to things (no blackmail*!) and we held an election.
