OK folks, very simple. Looks like interest is building and we can get this event to happen.

Which format do you want for this event?

Obviously we will go with the most popular!

It has to be stableford. I get enough medal play, it's only a society event.

More importantly what we gonna call it. If not KOK then what??

Personally would prefer matchplay but previous attempts to get that to work have failed. Think should build on last years regional then final format. Think it should be stableford not medal, 7/8 hcap max 18 shots (again imo, if its full hcap no limit thats fine too).

Would aim to have the regionals played by say end of May then have the final after that (wouldnt make it too early so that they have to be played in winter/early spring)

Maybe say 1 per 10 runners qualify for the final so as to get a few more making the final
 
In for the midlands this year ;-)

Think it should be full handicap with the final being off 3/4. All handicaps have to be official ofcourse.

Stop those bandicap golfer's ;-)

No problem, if we go for 7/8ths then you can have the 1/8th I'm giving up ;)

What is 1/8th of 12? :whistle:
 
Medal regional qualifiers 7/8 throughout or max 18-20 shots.

Stableford for the finals day (bigger field).

12 minimum to be counted as a regional qualifier.

7/8 throughout or max 18-20 shots.

10 entry into each regional qualifier, you can go in as many as you want.

2 maximum dates for each qualifier (last years NW one were both played at Frodsham, but split over 2 Sundays, as we couldn't get all to agree on one date).

Forummers only to enter, but people can bring mates along for the craic.

Official active handicaps only.

Pretty similar to last years.

Just my tuppence worth.

All the £10's go into a pot to help the regional winners pay for digs, travel etc.

Chief overall organiser has a free day at the finals day - only fair, considering the gargantuan task you are taking on.

Good luck, and thanks BTW.:thup::thup::thup:

Hmmmm not sure... Maybe let you enter off scratch?

Thinking about it its not like we will be playing for anything so I don't really care.

Or is there a kitty? If so maybe put in a supplementary card playing with a member of the forum? Just a suggestion... Not too fussed just hope its a chance to play decent courses.

I like the idea of having more qualifiers based on the size of the field. Seem to remember that last year at Hillside, most of the players on the day were not in the KOK. Think the majority should be in it. Also any extra players should be drawn, rather than first come first served basis. Perhaps places for forumers that hold a regional qualifier.:whistle::)



7/8 stableford seems fine. If someone doesn't have a club handicap perhaps introduce a maximum handicap of 24 ? Spring qualifying, with final early summer.

Either you make it certificates only, or just accept that someone with a dodgy one may win.

No ones gonna cheat to win this, it's not the trilby tour:o
