Frogs begin play on Monday vs. Colorado
FORT WORTH – TCU will next compete at Big 12 Match Play, held Monday through Wednesday, at Houston Oaks Country Club and Retreat in Hockley, Texas.
The Horned Frogs will bring Toby Wilt, Jack Beauchamp, Ethan Dial, Charlie Wylie, Joe Pagdin and Scott Roden.
FORMAT
The tournament will be played over three days consisting of Pool Play for one-and-a-half days (three sessions) followed by a bracket beginning on Tuesday afternoon. The Final Round will be played on Wednesday morning. Match Play will be played during all rounds.
Each team match will consist of five individual matches. Teams will be ranked and seeded based on the Big 12 Coaches Ranking. If two teams have the same combined ranking, the Scoreboard ranking will determine the seed. The Pool Play seeding will be as follows:
Pool A: No. 1 Arizona State, No. 8 Iowa State, No. 9 Cincinnati
Pool B: No. 2 Oklahoma State, No. 7 Kansas, No. 10 K-State, No. 15 UCF
Pool C: No. 3 Utah, No. 6 BYU, No. 11 Houston, No. 14 West Virginia
Pool D: No. 4 Texas Tech, No. 5 Colorado, No. 12 TCU, No. 13 Baylor
All individual matches within the team match will produce a result (3&2, 1 up, halved) and will not be played beyond the 18th hole. An individual match win awards that team with one point. An individual match that remains tied after 18 holes awards each team with a half point. Once all individual matches are completed within a team match, the team with the greater point total will receive three points while the losing team receives zero points. If the match is tied at the end of all five individual matches (2.5 points to 2.5 points), both teams receive one point.
If there is a tie following Pool Play to advance to the semifinals, a 5-count-5 sudden death playoff will break the tie. A tie in the semifinals will be broken by hole differential, then higher seed. A tie in the final match results in a 5-count-5 sudden death playoff.
TEAMS (15 teams)
Arizona State, Baylor, BYU, UCF, Cincinnati, Colorado, Houston, Iowa State, Kansas, Kansas State, Oklahoma State, TCU, Texas Tech, Utah, West Virginia.
