Wish me luck: playing our own Ryder Cup version!

I'm on an 8-man team this Saturday. Formats are as follows:

MORNING:
One foursome plays a full scramble; team handicap is 5% of the group's total, must use each person's drive at least twice. The other foursome plays a 2x2 Select Tee Shot -> Alternate Shot; handicap is 20% of the higher + 30% of the lower.

AFTERNOON:
One team plays a 2x2 Better Ball, using 90% of handicaps. The other team plays a four man Stableford with 100% handicaps; net par is 1 point, then up to 3, 6 and 10 for net double eagle.

Your team's score for the day is: Scramble + Select Tee/AS x 2 + Better Ball x 2 - Stableford team score. I think it's going to be a lot of fun. Bad news, I have very few postable scores this year, so my course index is a 7.0. I'm playing the ST/AS (probably the hardest format) in the morning and the BB in the afternoon (with a guy with solid game, I think we can put up a real good score there).

They did something like this last week at my father's course. He had to play 27 holes in one day, it about killed him.
