The Refugees from Houston proudly present The Bayou Bracket.
Starting this thread so HTX Match Play discussion is easily accessible.
Deadline: Finish Pool Play Matches by 12/31/2021.
Announcements: Be on the look out for polls regarding buy-ins and a time when all the pods can play together (and possibly have some cold domestics).
The Rules (so far):
Points: Accrued on a Nassau Basis (front, back, 18): Win=2; Halve=1; Loss=0
Strokes: Work it out based on your respective GHINs; or use your best judgment and donât be a scumbag (UYBJDBAS). Straight-up matches are allowed by agreement.
Venue: Pool Play: Work it out amongst yourselves and UYBJDBAS. Neutral will likely be better as some people live a ways away. Bracket Play: Higher seed chooses.
Penalties: By popular demand, everything is lateral regardless of local rules. Big time UYBJDBAS.
Tees: General rule is the one-ups, but can be modified by agreement. Please be considerate of short hitters.
Bracket Play: Top two players in each pool make the single-elimination bracket. Tie breaker is head-to-head result from pool play. Second tie breaker is 9-hole grudge match. Players will be seeded based on points accrued in pool play.
Here is the inaugural shot by @desperateunder105 to kick off the Bayou Match play. We had a couple of hard fought ties out there.
Not sure if I am just bad at technology, but it wouldnât let me post the video and had to convert it to a gif.
Hey guys - this is an awesome idea. Fellow Lifelong Houstonian here and am a lurker who tends to not post a lot. I wish I could participate this year / add my name to the alternate list, but just hurt my knee, so will be looking out for this next year. Good luck to you all and hope to get out with some of you in the future.
Weâve got enough alternates for a fifth pool. If @rrundle14@jsavoie88@bonesjones8197@jvanvalen are still in, Iâll add your pod to the sheet. Play-in rules will also be adjusted to account for the additional guis.
The âKaty Freewayâ crew got some matches in yesterday down at Clear Creek, a central location for all us western folk
Bunch of really strong matches and inspired by @desperateunder105 we went with the 3 way standoff approach. @Drewski was a menace all day on the par 5âs playing them in 3 under and @chunk is just so solid hardly ever giving a hole away. Points are updated in the spreadsheet.
