http://www.ContinentalCup.net
Matches to be completed before midnight GMT on Sunday. The match schedule is as follows: 6 end singles - each player has two matches. 9th/10th April. 6 players per team. 8 end team singles - each player has two matches. 16th/17th April. Alternates can play. 6 end Skins - each player has one match. 23rd/24th April. Alternates can play. The Grand Finale skins matches with be on 30th April or 1st May. Two players from each team, who must have played in the 6end singles. The team Captains are “EveMuirhead” and “Hitman_”.
Europe just about has a team - we need a team of six (plus alternates) from USA/Canada.
I need your Nick, e-mail, current & highest ranking, and country. Cups 1 & 2 were a lot of fun, and were decided during the Grand Finale Skins. Europe won… My aim is to have two teams of similar overall ability – in Cup 1 the total rankings of the two teams were the same! You may end up playing in a mismatch – a strong player against a weaker opponent. One of your team mates will be playing a stronger opponent. The scoring system may seem complicated, but don’t worry – leave that to Eve and Hitman, who played in Cup1. Each team will have 6 players, and a number of “Alternates” who may be called upon by the Team Captain if one of the 6 is unavailable. An alternate must have a lower “highest rating” than the player they are replacing. Also, the two players nominated for the four Grand Finale skins games (two players from each team each playing two matches) MUST have played in the opening singles matches on Saturday. Good Luck!
