It’s mostly shit posting and looking at maps trying to guess who is willing to drive 3 hours to play a match. We are open to bribes for sure. hmu

I can report for pod 15 (@Ckroger , @Mreyn12 , @MelKiperSr )that we weren’t able to get our remaining matches in due to extenuating circumstances for just about everyone. I think calling those a draw is good by the group.

I can volunteer as tribute to play an elimination match at the Tiki if that helps logistics.

We will take this into consideration. Right now I’ve got you up against a Cincinnatian. But I could always switch you out with a Columbus player who’d rather head South than North.
Remind me- what’s the round 2 deadline?

Right now the target would be June 5th. As long as you play your match on that Sunday then you’d be good.
The great thing about the elimination rounds is that if you win and your opponent has already played and won their match you can start scheduling next round matches early.

Okay. So, we just need a few people to confirm they are okay with a potential 2 hour travel time for their first round matches before we can release this to the wild. We’ve set this up so that pods are all on the same side of the bracket, but where you’d only have to potentially play a pod mate in the third round if you both made it that far. This was the best for travel, but we still wound up with a few matches with a potential 2 hour travel time if you could not meet in the middle.
Can the following please confirm you’re okay with that for your first round?
@JakeFromStateFarm
@cwb19
@Browcoww77
@Rummygolf
@quicktempo
@rer145
Everyone else’s first round matches are closer to home with a travel time of no more than an hour and a half.

Alright I think we have enough players committed. Time to release the bracket! We’re going to have two distinct sides of the bracket here. A Cincinnati side and a Cleveland side with Columbus filling out the middle (playing both sides) and Toledo/Findlay/Erie popping up in spots.
We’ll announce these in groups of 8.
The Cincinnati group:
Match 1 - @nelso2jf vs @OhioStateBrady
Match 2 - @dkoller vs @PrincipalKnows
Match 3 - @McDickey vs @tmck14
Match 4 - @methridge vs @Moomba

You can add Firestone to the list of available courses if anyone is interested
Also for anyone meeting between Columbus and Cleveland/Akron let me shout out Deer Ridge in Mansfield. Awesome golf course and pretty well in between spots

Pretty nice choices you got there.

It’d be a shame if a Cleveland native represents the Cincy group. You fellas better bring your A-game, the gas throttle is stuck and the brake lines have been cut.
*I predict a first-round exit for ya boy
