How does match play scoring work in the President's Cup?

[ejimsmith]

I'm hearing Tiger and Steve had the worst loss ever in a President's Cup, 7 and 6...  what does that mean?  I understand they didn't win a hole, and only played to 12, so I assume the 7 means that there weren't enough holes for Tiger/Steve to catchup... but still, I don't get the scoring.

May someone explain please?

They were down 7 holes with 6 holes to go. In other words, they couldn't win.. Also, if you hear someone is down "dormie," that means they are X down with X holes to go.

I think the team that's up is dormie meaning they've esentially already halved the match and just need one hole to win it. The team that's down is just "still barely alive".

Yeah you're right, I've heard it both ways though, so either way people will understand what you're saying. But yes, it should be the leading team is "up dormie."
