No, they will collect the "Stay & Play" cost at the Virtues on Sunday. I was a little surprised by that, I would collect on Saturday, but I guess the person doing the reservations & bills is located at the Virtues. I think we can trust that none of us are going to run out on the bill and leave us in a lurch.
They're playing 16 games in each match though. Don't need much of an advantage before that number of players significantly loads things in their favor. The other team has to win 8.5 games to beat them. At a 65/35 split, that's a lot and pretty unlikely (about 10% of the time).
Why does the second sentence have to be true? If they're used to playing a tough course that's improperly rated, they're going to both have inflated indexes and have higher skills relative to them. If their home course features a variety of different challenges, I don't see why their game wouldn't travel well.
And on the flip side, some courses and their members take pride in how hard their course is and how tough it's rated, and that bit of vanity ends up hurting them in these kinds of competitions.
I discussed it today but can call back and re-confirm. I would love to be wrong on that point.
Note: That may have been before they changed the hotel due to lack of room at Hampton Inn.
Update on Friday Hotel:
If I can give a count to EagleSticks they can get us a discount on Friday night at the hotel. I do not have the $$ but should be much lower than the $249 the hotel quoted me.
I do not have my list with me for the Friday hotels but if you want one, please post ASAP and I will get the rate and get them held.
Thanks @billchao for catching this.
