It's finally here! The first gambling of the International Crown begins these days! The essential reason of this submit is to hyperlink you to the suitable pages wherein you may hold up with everything.
First, here's the short version of how the format works: There are 2 pools with 4 teams in each pool. The pool play lasts 3 days, with each team playing all three other teams in their pool. Wins are worth 2 points, halves are worth 1. On Saturday afternoon the Top2 teams in each pool get to the final day, as well as the best team of the other 4. (If that means a playoff, so be it!) And on Sunday, those 5 teams will play singles matches. The team with the most points overall wins the International Crown trophy, which also includes 4 individual crowns. How cool is that?
Here's the primary scoring page. I assume this is one of the coolest leaderboards ever published by using any of the tours. Everything is without difficulty readable -- every day's man or woman suits are posted in LARGE PRINT on the proper aspect of the page, and the scores of the groups in each pool are posted on the left side. I recognise most bloggers may not make a large deal of this however, given how much image design my tasks require, this scoreboard is an exquisite accomplishment.
This News Hub page provides a variety of links focused on each team. There are newspaper links, a link to a team video, and of course a stat page for each team.
The photograph got here from this page about Ariya and Moriya Jutanugarn, the sisters who might be playing collectively on Team Thailand. We have not visible Ariya plenty at the LPGA due to the fact she's been recovering from a shoulder harm she got approximately a yr ago on the LPGA Championship.
Of path, my fellow bloggers have been doing posts as well. Tony Jesselli posted an International Crown preview that also consists of data at the Priority List shuffle that become executed the day before today earlier than the tournament. And the Constructivist has done two posts -- one on the Pool A competition and one on the Pool B competition. TC says Pool B is the "Pool of Death" but I do not know if it's due to the fact the groups are tough or simply due to the fact the Japanese crew is in it. (Ai Miyazato is certainly one of his faves on tour.)
I ought to also upload that LPGA.Com has their personal breakdown of the teams, which includes some interviews.
Finally, here's the TV schedule from LPGA.com. Of course, GC will be carrying all four days.
| Thursday, July 24 | 11:30 a.m.-3:30 p.m. ET (Live) |
| Friday, July 25 | 11:30 a.m.-3:30 p.m. ET (Live) |
| Saturday, July 26 | 3-7 p.m. ET (Live) |
| Sunday, July 27 | 3-7 p.m. ET (Live) |
Please note that all 4 days are LIVE insurance.
This must truly be a splendid match. In many ways this may be a check run for the Olympic occasion, besides that this is match play instead of stroke play, as well as for subsequent year's revamped Match Play WGC on the PGA Tour. We've by no means visible a golf tournament run this manner before -- I CAN'T WAIT!
